I love Kaweco Sport pens. It was one of my first fountain pens and I continue to acquire them when I find a design or color in particular.
So, today I thought I’d show off my latest acquisition: the limited edition Kaweco x Hello Kitty Sport ($80) called Stardust Purple. It is transparent purple embedded with silver glitter. The nib is engraved with Hello Kitty’s adorable face. It came with a little acrylic keychain with Hello Kitty riding a unicorn and a charm with a purple bow. I immediately stuck the charm onto my pen show badge holder. It made me so happy to have this silly little Hello Kitty charm. Deep down, I am a nine-year-old girl.
This pen was only available with a F nib, or that was what I was told when I purchased it. Luckily, I prefer the F nib on Kaweco so it just meant I didn’t need to make any decisions.
I, of course, put my favorite purple ink into into the pen: my Monteverde Sweet Life Birthday Cake. I think it’s a perfect match.
I picked this up at the Houston Little Craft Fest and it was 100% an impulse purchase. It’s pretty and makes me smile but it is ridiculously expensive for what should be a $30 pen. Would I do it again? Yeah, probably. But I feel like I restrained myself since I didn’t buy a Hello Kitty AL-Sport ($185) which is even MORE expensive. But if I won the lottery, I would 100% buy one… or all of them.
My takeaway: there is no price tag on happiness. Buy what you love and love it.
