Montegrappa, a leading Italian writing instrument brand, is highly regarded by stylists Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building for its ease of writing, comfortable weight, and above all, its beautiful appearance.

"Ernest Hemingway Nobel"
Fountain pen (M): ¥140,400 each
*Limited to 350 pieces of each color worldwide

Founded in 1912 in Bassano del Grappa, Veneto, northern Italy, Montegrappa is considered Italy's first writing instrument manufacturer and continues to produce original and beautiful writing instruments to this day. In the 1920s, they adopted celluloid for pen barrels, creating brightly colored writing instruments, and the octagonal barrel pen, which later became an icon of the brand, was born. The vibrant colors and smooth feel can be experienced in the "Extra 1930," a 1930s reissue model with a celluloid barrel, and the octagonal barrel "Emblem." Furthermore, the fountain pen nibs, which Montegrappa has been committed to since its founding, use ebonite, resulting in a smooth ink flow and a comfortable writing experience.

"Gnomo"
Fountain pen (M): ¥75,600 each

*Limited to 1000 pieces of each color worldwide

The "Ernest Hemingway" series, released in 2016 as a limited edition tribute to the great writer Ernest Hemingway, who is said to have used a Montegrappa pen, is now succeeded by a new model featuring Hemingway's signature on the cap and the monogram "1912 Montegrappa" engraved on the body. The finial is adorned with a marlin motif, which appears in his masterpiece "The Old Man and the Sea."

Furthermore, the "Gnomo," created in response to customer requests for a pen that is "easy to store in a pocket or bag, yet has a substantial weight and length when in use," is characterized by its unique design that is only 8 cm when folded, unlike any other fountain pen.


The "Ducale" model, unveiled 80 years ago, is named after the Doge's Palace, a masterpiece of Venetian Gothic architecture. Its design, expressing Venetian tradition and culture, features vibrant colors inspired by the symbolic colors of Murano, considered the birthplace of ancient glass, as well as the sand and sea. Two new colors are now available.

The "Fortuna" series, which embodies the meaning of "bringing good fortune to the wearer," features a pen that combines multifaceted mosaic resin in a rich array of colors. The striking design, which fuses the typical colors of mosaic art with a modern silhouette, is uniquely Italian. Two new colors are now available.

"Felicita"
Fountain pen (M) ¥31,320 / Ballpoint pen ¥20,520

The "Felicita" retains the rounded form of the "Fortuna" series, but is crafted with a more compact and delicate silhouette. It's a great choice for carrying around or as a gift for a woman.
