The design of this pen is adorable and functional. I love how light and comfortable it is in the hand and its large ink capacity. The repair tools that come with the pen are a welcome addition if you like to tinker as well. Very solid workhorse pen with high return on investment. Recommended for beginners looking to upgrade from a Pilot Metropolitan or Lamy

A regular Twsbi ECO, only violet! Of all the color options in this line, I think this is the most stunning one. But yes, I know, color preference is subjective. Whether you go for violet or not, the Twsbi ECO makes a nice everyday carry. Not only is it affordable, but it uses bottled ink (as opposed to, for instance, the Lamy Safari). That means that it holds much more ink than a cartridge, and also that you have lots of options when it comes to choosing ink. (Some people complain about Twsbi pens cracking… So far mine is still in perfect condition).
