Where Can You Buy Fountain Pens
Several weeks ago, I proposed to Yunus a series of city guides highlighting my favorite stationery shops around the globe. I had just returned from a trip to London and Paris and was bubbling with excitement after visiting some of my old haunts and finding a couple of new gems to share. I have always gotten so much joy from sharing my finds and I was so looking forward to telling you, dear readers, the best way to navigate seeing the most beautiful boutiques in all of the cities. In these magical brick and mortar stationery shops, you can find all sorts of hidden treasures like the best fountain pens, the best fountain pen ink and vintage-inspired stationery.
With its bright purple storefront, Saker stands out in the Victorian seaside town of Clevedon, where it has been for more than 20 years. Serving up eclectic gifts and stationery from all over the globe, Saker aims to be unusual, fascinating and delightfully different.
In 2018 she opened her current studio and shop where she continues to share the resurgence of letterpress printing in the UK. Her black and white cards are an exemplary example of this historic craft and her beautiful design sensibility.

I own far too many notebooks, and while you would have to drag me kicking and screaming into a shopping mall, I'll happily spend money on office supplies. As such, maybe it was a foregone conclusion that I would some day grow fond of fountain pens.
If you're like me, you'll read a lot, you'll feel lost, and you'll be intimidated. And then eventually, after months and months of reading stuff that you barely understand, you'll decide to take the plunge and buy a pen and see what happens. You'll make some mistakes, but eventually after some trial and error, you'll start to realize just what these fountain pen aficionados are so crazy about.
