Available only to registered Bexley pen owners, the 2012 Bexley Owners Club pens feature their new proprietary piston filling system and, is the first American-made piston-filling pen since the 1930’s.  You will find that the pen fills quite smoothly from a bottle of ink and holds twice the amount of ink as a converter-filling or cartridge-filling pen.  The ink flow is generous and smooth, enhancing your writing pleasure.  The 2012 Bexley Owners Club pens feature caps, barrels and grip section in three eye-catching colors: Silver Blue, Royal Green and Sunburst.  In recognition of their nineteenth year, there are 119 fountain pens in each color.  The pens feature Bexley’s special “B” style faceted clips.  Every client may specify whether they wish for the clip and trim to be either 23K gold-plated or rhodium plated.

The pens come equipped with Bexley’s custom two-tone gold-plated stainless steel nibs in fine, medium or broad and may be upgraded at an additional cost of $130 to an 18K solid gold Bexley nib.  Some sizes have limited availability.

Bexley’s suggested retail price is $295 for the custom stainless steel nib pen and $425 with the 18K gold nib upgrade.

We want to give the many registered Bexley owners an opportunity to acquire these unusual pens.  Therefore, orders will be filled in the order received while supplies last.  Once orders from Bexley owners have been fulfilled, any remaining pens will be available on a first come, first served basis.  If you would like more information give us a call at 504.988.7265, stop by our shop on Royal Street or email us at info@papierplume.com.

Based in Haut-Jura, a rugged and beautiful region close to Switzerland, the Jean-Pierre Lepine family firm constantly pushes new boundaries in its pursuit of new shapes and technological inventions to make writing instruments in which the imagination knows no bounds.  Every pen is manufactured in their own workshops.  Their pens are machined from a single piece, designed in precious resins, brass, aluminum, acetate, rare woods or stainless steel using cutting-edge technologies and then put through a series of complex operations to achieve a perfect finish.  Their close-knit technical team with expertise and a culture of luxury passed down through four generations produce remarkable objects almost as if they are magicians.   We have a full line of Lepine pens in our shop on Royal Street.  We are pleased to announce that we now offer their Indigo line on our website.  Just let us know if you need more information or have any questions.  Our shop is open daily 10 -6 and you may always contact us through this website.  Thanks for taking the time to read about the Lepine family and all of the fine writing instruments they offer to those of us who share this passion for pens.
