Wren - Take Flight & Write

Writing Instrument of the Year 2025, Stationery Awards, London

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

  • 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 standard Fountain Pen Inks and we have a beautiful range of colours, which are perfect for the Wren and can be found here. Please note the Wren is not suitable for use with our Shimmer Fountain Pen Inks, No.60 Pigment Black Ink or Calligraphy Inks.

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.

Amazing pen and AMAZING service!

I have had my Wren pen of several months now and it has been absolutely brilliant. I use it to add notes in a bullet journal, which I mainly write in black. I use the Strawberry Jam ink to highlight things I need to remember! The whole ethos of the pen, its sustainability, its beautiful design and its function are wonderful. Never again will I buy a regular pen and I will be choosing these as gifts for others. I had a slight issue with the stiffness of the pen, but Jade and Laura from customer services were incredibly helpful and generous. They sent me out a couple of bits and pieces to try as well. This is how every business should be run.

The best!!

I absolutely LOVE my wren! It is smooth, easy to refill, and feels good in your hand when writing. I use it almost exclusively, and when it was missing this morning from my desk, I was distraught! No worries, though, just ordered another! Hopefully, I will find my old pen and then, with two, will never have to face the day without my wren!!

THE WREN

I have the cerise pink WREN. This is a handy pen for jottings/notes etc. it’s a nifty size for a pocket or bag. Or for your your desk by your jotter! A bit of a work-horse kind of pen so I like it for daily use. Quite a bold look to the writing from this pen. I’m not an artist, but I can see it could be good for drawing …
