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.

Great Pen

I was immediately attracted to the pen, in my fav colour of course…midnight. But what is so great, is that it takes so little room in my handbag so I carry it everywhere with me. It pen is smooth to write with so it’s a dream for anyone who still enjoys the art of writing!

Gift for a Busy Friend

She got her pens, an original Wren as well as one with the recycled cap! She loved the size of the pens, smoothness of writing and the assortment of inks I chose for her!

Beautiful Pen! Just Perfect! See Photos

My beautiful Wren arrived today and I absolutely love it.
I’d been wanting to try a Wren for ages, so the new Wren Write Off offer was the perfect opportunity.

The personalisation service is brilliant too.
Mine is engraved with StopTheRotAdoptTheLot, which highlights the fleecehold and unadopted estates scandal affecting both freehold and leasehold homes in newer developments.

It’s a great way to spread awareness with such a lovely pen.
