The elegant wood grain is accentuated by the deep indigo finish. Each nib holder is hand dyed with care by an indigo artisan.

The colour will gently fade to a true indigo with use. If the wood becomes dry, polish with beeswax to restore its luster.

Please Note

• The nib holder will gradually brighten to a true indigo colour with use and handling. If the nib holder becomes dry, apply some beeswax.
• Friction may cause the colour or beeswax finish to transfer.
• To prevent distortion and discolouration, avoid soaking in water, sudden temperature changes or extreme heat, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
• When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging the nib mount.
• Due to the nature of the material and treatment, grain and colour will vary between pieces.
• If marked with ink, wipe clean with a soft, clean cloth.
• After rinsing, shake well in a downward motion to remove any water or ink from the nib mount before inserting a nib.
