New Sailor!

So there's quite a bit of new Sailor Products to tell you about, here goes!

Sailor Limited Edition Endangered Species - see them all here...

Giant Panda

Bengal Tiger

Elephant

Based on Sailor’s popular 1911 Classic fountain pen, only 88 pieces are available worldwide. Hand decorated by master maki-e artist Koshyu Nishihara these individually numbered writing instruments are available with the 21K solid gold nib.

Urushi Lacquer Artist Mr. Koushu Nishihara was born into a family of Butsudan Maki-e artists in Hiroshima, Japan, and he has lived with, and worked in the traditional Japanese Art of Maki-e design all of his life. During his training in the Wajima Urushi Lacquer Institute of Art in Ishikawa, he has mastered the traditional Japanese Urushi Lacquer Art from the famous master Masato Ikawa and Chokou Watabe. Mr. Nishihara, who resides in the Hiroshima region of Japan, started working with Maki-e designs on Sailor’s fountain pens in 2002. He maintains the Japanese traditional techniques and yet he does not hesitate where necessary to bring new youthful ideas into the art of Maki-e. Many of his original and imaginative works of art are exhibited in traditional Urushi lacquer art shows in Japan and several other private exhibitions.

Shop Front Refurb update

Its summer time so we'd thought we'd give the front of the shop a bit of a spruce up! Above are the efforts from Day 1, not too much of a change yet but its going to look a lot different once its complete over the next couple of weeks. A new sign is coming along, and a whole new colour scheme to match our swanky new business cards - which you can see below.

I'll be back over the coming days and weeks to keep you updated on the progress :)
