Wren - Take Flight & Write

A beautiful and infinitely refillable writing pen, equipped with a Japanese-made writing tip. We're on a mission to make choosing refillable options easier, so you can now buy two (or more!) Wren pens and save 10%

Each year, an estimated 9 billion pens are thrown away, contributing to growing environmental waste. Many writing tools are designed with convenience in mind, often leading to a cycle of frequent replacements, which generates significant waste and limits options for those seeking more sustainable, long-lasting choices.

As a product designer and craftsman who loves writing, I became frustrated with the waste created by disposable pens. They would pile up in drawers, waiting for a specific refill, or worse, end up in the bin despite being perfectly usable – if only they had ink.

After years of designing and handcrafting calligraphy and fountain pens for creatives worldwide, I decided it was time to tackle one of the biggest culprits: the everyday writing pen. The result? The Wren – a pen designed not only to write beautifully but also to last a lifetime, helping to reduce the mountains of waste created by disposable pens.

Included in the box:

  • The Wren in your choice of colour
  • Japanese-made Writing Tip*
  • 3ml Midnight Ink sample
  • Ink Reservoir

*0.3–0.5 depending on pressure

Specifications:

  • Length capped – 80mm
  • Posted (cap on the end of the pen) – 120mm
  • Pen barrel diameter – 13mm
  • Weight – 20g
  • Made from Anodised Aluminium

Full FAQs and a video guide to getting started with your Wren can be found here.

What ink can I use?

The Wren is compatible with all but the most experimental fountain pen inks (think shimmer + iridescent). We offer a beautiful range of ink for fountain pens, which are perfect for the Wren and can be found here.

Note: Calligraphy Ink has an acrylic binder which will block the pen and is not suitable for use with the Wren.

Some ink colours can concentrate in the tip, so you may experience a lighter colour after a line or two. This is completely normal and looks quite nice!

How do I store the reservoir and tips?
You can store reservoirs and tips, and change to a different colour using spare reservoirs and my reservoir storage containers.

How long will the tips/ink last?
You can expect the high-quality, Japanese-made tip to last for months of use. We tested a single ink fill in the Wren on a plotter – a device used for precision drawing – and it wrote consistently for 344 metres. That's the equivalent of 50 A4 pages of handwriting!

When the tip eventually dulls, you can find packs of three replacement tips here.

Anything else I should know?
Yes! I’ve designed the pen to include ‘micro-grooves’, tiny ridges that enhance grip without using plastics. Please note: the black and midnight colourways do not feature these micro-grooves, as they have a grippy matte finish.

Perfect, I love these pens

Incredible!

I’ve had mine less than a day and I’m already going to purchase one for my sibling for a graduation present. The colors are beautiful, and the unboxing experience felt so special. The pen feels fabulous in the hand: heavy enough to feel solid and elevated, but is still light and a good length for writing without feeling cumbersome. I have been using fountain pens for several years now, and thus have quite the collection of ink, so I love that I can utilize what I already have with a pen that has a different writing experience. This is an incredible price for such an excellent little tool, and I am confident I will get a lot of creative mileage out of it.

Perfect little pen!

I absolutely adore this little pen. It’s such a joy to write with, so simple to add ink to, and it fits perfectly - I carry it with me wherever I go. I also like writing with fountain pens, but the Wren just works and is low fuss. My only quibble is that I wish it had a clip to secure it to things - the Kaweco clips do fit, but the clip can dig into my hand a little when writing- I’d love to see something made for the wren specifically.

Absolutely amazing

I thought the original was great, but this recycled plastic has the same great design but even lighter in the hand. My EDC! All I need now is a brass metal version of this pen, and I’ll never need to buy another pen again! Love it !
