Platignum No.9 Carnaby Street is a metal-bodied retractable ballpoint finished in bright colours with a black rubber grip and glossy black trim. Push-button retractor and characteristic Platignum pen-nib pocket clip. Not a fountain pen I know but a ballpoint can be useful at times!!

Over forty years after it happened, the 1960s remain the most consequential and controversial decade of the 20th century. Swinging London was the catch term applied to the fashion and cultural scene that flourished in London. It was a youth orientated phenomenon that emphasised the new and modern.
Carnaby Street is synonymous with sweeping changes of fashion, that still appear today, including psychedelic colours such as yellow, orange, lilac, pink, blue and green.
The Platignum 'Carnaby Street' No.9 Ball Point range, by Snopake Brands, recaptures the freedom of expression of the era. A freedom to express yourself in writing and making a bold statement.
Each Platignum 'Carnaby Street' No.9 ball point pen has been ergonomically designed for comfort - to cushion and relieve the stress of writing - with its smooth, flowing action. This beautifully weighted and balanced pen is perfect for everyday use and would make the perfect gift for people of any age group, from a pilot to a school child.

Got the pen today. My wife loved it and I love the ink you used in the note. Please let me know when that goes on sale. I have been using J. Herbin 1670 lately and love it.

Blackstone red cashmere powdered ink. I have never heard of powdered ink. What do you mix it with?

Ah right. It is not yet available commercially. It comes as a small sachet of powder you mix with boiled (ie sterile) water. 1 sachet makes 30-60mls of ink depending on how saturated you like it. Free sachets were given out at the Toronto Pen show and possibly LA? I think it will be available soon.
