Reviews

Envy from a friend at a committee meeting seeing THIS pen!

"Envy from a friend at a committee meeting seeing this pen! She came over to me after to see it closer, turns out she is a Levenger customer as well!"

— Pamela E. (5/5)

Gorgeous fountain pen

"Beautiful pen. Vibrant colors. Silky smooth writing experience. Unlike some fountain pens in my collection, this instrument begins writing as soon as the nib touches the paper. No irritating skipping or scratching until the ink begins to flow. The True Writer series delivers luxury and gorgeous design at an attractive price point."

— S. E. (5/5)

Missed opportunity

"Anyone who’s ever been to, or seen photos of Mardi Gras, knows it’s purple, green and GOLD. This is a lovely pen and has all the great Levenger qualities I’ve come to appreciate. They missed a real opportunity here by using silver metal trim instead of gold, so I deducted one star. Again, it’s still a great pen, but could have looked better."

"Gorgeous and smooth writing."

Mardi Gras fountain pen

"The colors of the one I received are beautiful! As I was able to purchase it while on sale was an extra bonus. As long as Levenger keeps selling gorgeous pens, I’ll keep buying them. My collection keeps growing one pen at a time!"

— Herb H. (5/5)

Great Pen for Daily Use

"This is a very smooth pen, for a fine point fountain pen. I am both pleased and excited each time I go to use it!"

— Larry C. (5/5)

Like the pen, converter is a problem

"The pen is really quite pretty, but a little more muted than in the pictures. It still adds a nice touch of whimsy on days I use this one. The fine nib writes well with no issues. The only problem I have is with the converter. It was only good for two refills before it started not filling, even after flushing and giving it 3 tries each time I attempted to fill the converter. It appears that it may have lost its airtight seal which shouldn’t happen after only two refills. I purchased another True writer fountain pen at the same time and had the same problem with that converter as well. I’m giving it three stars because I will need to find another converter from another company before I can use the pen again. If not for that I would have given it 4 stars. It is still a worthy pen if they fix the issues with the converter that comes with it."
