Classic and extravagant: Designer leather accessories

The range of stylish leather accessories by Faber-Castell is classic and timeless, but at the same time fashionably extravagant. These trendy and cheerful lifestyle accessories are not only perfectly matched to the selection of writing implements but have also acquired the status of absolute “must haves” in every suit pocket or handbag! Made of finest Italian calfskin, the pieces painstakingly butt jointed, the fashionable eye-catchers such as pocket organizer, ladies’ purse, and cases for cards or pens and pencils are available in various colours and textures.

The printed and embossed surface of the python-skin design looks fascinatingly exotic: every accessory becomes a luxurious fashion statement! The smooth matt leather in black or brown, on the other hand, exudes a classic timelessness. The patent leather, repeatedly polished to a high gloss, radiates an elegant black, purist white, or trendy orange. Every item goes nicely with a pen or pencil – for example the striking Ondoro in orange, white, or black.

The varied collection comprises many stylish companions for day-to-day living:

For dates and notes we recommend either the desk or pocket organizer. A particularly convenient feature: they lie flat when open, as the spines are made from a separate stitched piece. A superior press stud with embossed logo graces the plain leather catch.

The generously sized ladies’ purse is much too attractive to hide away in a handbag! It has plenty of space for coins and paper money, driver’s license and credit cards, safely enclosed in a smooth-running quality metal zip fastener around three sides.

Further indispensable leather accessories such as cases for business cards and credit cards, or for one’s favorite writing implements, round off the elegant assortment.

Trendy lifestyle accessory: Ondoro in orange

The Ondoro, with its striking hexagonal shape, has already proved itself an unmistakable and equally fashionable understatement in purist white or elegant black.

The barrel made of shiny polished synthetic material, framed between nose and end pieces of chrome-plated metal, now presents itself in a warm orange colour: the Ondoro again enters the scene as a trendy lifestyle item.

The propelling pencil, twist-action ball pen, roller-ball pen and fountain pen are functional as ever. They also perfectly match the colours of the new Design range of leather accessories in gleaming patent leather or with a smooth matt surface. The unusual eye-catching writing implements will complement any leather organizer. Alternatively, there is a choice of attractive and practical leather cases to keep them in. Whichever way you look at it, the Ondoro is an indispensable and stylish companion, either on the desk or in the pocket or handbag!

Ondoro conquers the world of classic writing 

The “Design” line from Faber-Castell reflects the beauty with which an individual handwriting style is expressed. With their unmistakeable contours and innovative materials, these sophisticated writing instruments help to give a personal note to each individual hand. The Ondoro series also entices the writer to putting his thoughts and notes down on paper at once. The barrel made from precious resin, framed with end-pieces in chrome-plated metal, is now available for the first time in shining pure white.

The highly unusual shape is characteristic of the Ondoro: its hexagonal barrel is an expression of a unique personality that appeals equally to both men and women who love the fine art of fine writing. The Ondoro embodies the elegance of straight lines par excellence and provides the highest level of writing comfort.

The propelling pencil has a tough 0.7 mm lead and has a replaceable eraser under the end-cap. The ballpoint is fitted with a large-capacity, line-width B black refill, whose point is extended and retracted by means of a twist mechanism. For quick notes we recommend the roller-ball, with a cap that fits either end, a sprung metal clip, and quick-drying ink to ensure your writing does not smudge. The heart of the Ondoro series is the fountain pen. With its cartridge/converter system it can be refilled with ink from the bottle or with standard cartridges. The high-quality stainless steel nib is available in a choice of widths M, F or B, and glides over the paper with a silky smoothness.

LOOM: Trendy matt/gloss effects

This modern trio, consisting of a propelling pencil, propelling ballpoint pen and roller-ballpen, captivates with a conical shape and the high-contrast interplay of matt and gloss effects."Metallic" will add a colourful highlight to your college writing pad or desk: apart from the mattegrey of the shaft and handle piece, the metallic gloss of blue, purple, orange and silver adds somepulsating luminosity. "Piano" embodies classical elegance and a fascinating lifestyle: the polishedmetal shaft sets off the pure white and black, while the varnish adds a trendy gloss to this series.The mechanical propelling pencil is easy to handle: its 0.7 mm lead guarantees a consistently accurateflow of writing, while the exchangeable eraser under the cap is always ready for any corrections. The ballpoint pen also has a propelling mechanism and makes for long-term writing pleasure due to its large cartridge with writing strength B. The rollerball pen with a switchable cap offers a high degree of writing comfort, as the rapidly drying ink will not smudge, even when taking notes in a hurry. The spring-loaded, chrome-plated clip that decorates all LOOM writing implements will keep your pensafe while you are travelling.

Ambition in rich berry colors

The Ambition series, made of superior brushed precious resin, exhibits some fascinating nuances of colour. Rich berry colours grace these writing implements with their characteristic slim profile. Fresh raspberry emanates pure energy and makes an exciting contrast to the gleaming chrome-plated metal nose and end pieces. The discrete plum colour, on the other hand, is warm and gentle. These cheerful pens are sure to become favourites on the desk, making writing a sensual pleasure!

Two variants are available in the new berry colours:

The ball-point pen is equipped with a twist mechanism to extend and retract the large-capacity refill, line width B.

The roller-ball pen, with a cap that fits either end, is highly convenient and especially suitable for hurried notes, thanks to the quick-drying ink.

The spring-loaded metal clip on the end of both writing implements holds them securely in a personal organizer or a jacket pocket.

BASIC Metal Design: fountain pen

The BASIC series owes its name to its puristic design. These writing implements, whose barrels are made of wood, carbon, leather or mother-of-pearl, play an important role in the highly attractive Faber-Castell range.

This shapely metal trio, consisting of a rollerball pen, a ballpoint pen and a mechanical pencil, has now been supplemented by a fountain pen with a high-quality stainless steel nib. It is available in matt or high-gloss chrome plating and offers the highest degree of writing comfort at school or at the office, thanks to its grooved grip zone. The spring-loaded metal clip turns this fountain pen into a reliable companion, which can be safely stored at all times in your agenda or jacket pocket.

Basic Black: Carbon fibre, leather and mother of pearl

The BASIC series gets its name from its purist lines. The existing writing implements made of fine cedar or poplar wood, or chrome plated, play an important part in the Faber-Castell designer assortment for those with high aesthetic standards.

Now the new BASIC Black models add a new accent. The roller-ball and ball pen have barrels made of carbon fibre, mother of pearl, or leather. The ribbed grip zone matches the colour. The mother-of-pearl variant offers an additional eye-catcher: the grip zone and cap are discreetly inlaid with glittering particles – items to grace any desk!

The pens are just as convenient and functional as they are attractive.

The roller-ball pen is highly recommended for hurried notes, because the ink of the replaceable refill is very fast-drying.

The point of the ball pen (equipped with magnum refill) retracts at the press of a button, ready for stowing in an organizer or jacket pocket.

 E- Motion in warm pearwood

The curvaceous silhouette of the e-motion series now appears in a new and fascinating mix of materials. Fine dark pearwood lends a note of warmth to the ergonomic barrel, contrasting effectively with the matt coating of the synthetic front and end pieces. The properties of natural wood make each writing implement a unique blend of individual grain structure and nuances, as well as giving a pleasant feel.

The familiar continuously variable twist mechanism of the pencil is very convenient in use, while the tough 1.4-mm lead is smooth and dependable. When corrections are necessary, an extra-large replaceable eraser is at the ready under the end cap. The ballpoint pen has a large-capacity replaceable refill. The spring-loaded clip emphasizes the flowing lines of both pen and pencil and also holds them securely in a personal organizer or a jacket pocket.
