The TACCIA Tweed Fountain Pen Collection receives its influence from one of the world’s leading textiles. Tweed is a rough woven fabric usually made from wool. The fibers can be woven using a plain weave or twill weaves. Tweed is an extremely warm, hard-wearing fabric that is thick and stiff. Wool tweed is often woven using different colored threads to achieve dynamic patterns and colors, frequently with small squares and vertical lines. Tweed is very popular for suiting and jackets, which were originally made out of the material for hunting activities. The Taccia Tweed fountain pen draws inspiration from one of the oldest textile material and tries to recreate the pattern of tweed on pens using Urushi work. Each Tweed fountain pen requires months of lacquer and handwork. The series is available in three patterns: Turquoise Black, Tangerine Orange and Mango Spice. The Taccia tweed fountain pens feature a Sailor made 14KT gold nib, which is available in 7 nib widths to help fountain pen connoisseurs pick the one preferred. All Urushi pens are sensitive to sunlight and should not be exposed to sun for a prolonged time. Kindly refer the instruction manual sent along with the pen to take care of your precious Urushi pens. Taccia Fountain pens are available in India at Makoba at best international prices.
