The story in the details.

Notable design details:

  • King Midas implores Dionysus to free him of this golden curse and wash away his greed.
  • King Midas is notorious for his love of all things opulent, even his lakes are laden with gold coins! How many types of drachmas can you spot?
  • Our enchanted ink takes inspiration from the calming blue waves lapping over the gold, slowly washing away the curse and cleansing the greed in Midas’ heart.

Care & use.

Filling/Changing Ink Colours:

  • Unscrew to remove the barrel from the grip section and access the converter.
  • Place the fountain pen nib fully into warm water. Flush the nib by twisting/untwisting the converter until the water runs clear.
  • Allow 1 day to dry.
  • Fill a new colour by fully submerging the nib and feeder into the ink, then draw the ink into your pen but twisting the converter until you’ve reached the top position.

Notes:

  • For heavily saturated inks and darker tones, or clogged nibs, you may need to soak the grip/feeder in water overnight
  • It is normal for some air bubbles to enter the converter when refilling ink
