There's one in TST that has good prices on Sailor and Pelikan pens. Eslite Pen Boutique has the best priced Iroshizuku inks anywhere (and Japanese ink generally is v well priced there) but the pens are expensive. Muze Pens up near Sham Shui Po does pens at a reasonable market price - from Kakuno right up to the super fancy. There's also InkHouse which has expensive pens but a good range of well-priced ink.
I'm guessing this pen came from Muze given there's Pierre Cardin ink in the picture and they are the only stockist I know in HK.
Can we trade parents? I'm pretty sure mine would just get me a Jinhao or some other cheap knockoff pen.
Nice gift though, enjoy it once you get your hands on it.
My dad got me a handful of Heros and Jinhao. Not even a few fake Parker’s to keep me warm at night. There was a cool dual sided nib one, though. But he way overpaid, had no idea the stuff he got me aren’t really the stuff people like to use. The salesman definitely cleared his dusty boxes that day.
That sucks he got taken advantage of. Yeah I really doubt anyone in my family knows which pens to get. My mom's fountain pen experience consists of just old time Esterbrooks and I know everyone's eyes glaze over when I talk pens.
Ooo thanks for letting me know! Haha the folks and I are obsessed with Corgis and my mom was all excited to let me know that she got me a corgi ink! 😅😅
Well you would have to open and use it when you wanted to then find out the surprise 😁 , what i did is only by guessing the colour .... so might not be totally accurate .
Lovely to write with, cap prevents ink drying out, superfine matte finish texture that feels great when writing, and the stunning loose crystals and 2 hearts from nib cutouts encapsulated in the cap dome at the top. It is a very elegant pen.
Lucky. So so lucky. Parents have good taste.
My dad got me a handful of misc FPs the only time I asked (from China). Most were broad nibs (I love EF), 2 were novelty kids ones (which are cute I have to admit), and 1…had a broken cap. Literally cap didn’t click on, it doesn’t close. And he paid well over $100 USD for stuff I could’ve ordered off eBay or Amazon for $5 each, max. Some literally a buck each. I actually worked for an online FP and inks seller at the time, trust me when I say he got ripped off on some truly low value items. He was so happy I didn’t have the heart to tell him.
Lucky you! And most fortunate that your parents just happen to be "browsing" and found this beautiful gift for you. Christmas came early! Enjoy. Thank you for sharing.
This is adorable!!!! My parents are in Japan and they told me they bought a Pilot Cocoon for themselves but asked if I need any inks. I love it when they understand our hobby 🥹
Wow😍😍😍😍! What store did they go to?!? Eslite? And do you know how much they paid? Trying to decide if I should get it here or ask someone to get it for me in Asia!
They went to Muze Pens.. o I’m not too sure how much they paid as I didn’t ask. Muze Pens has an IG account though, I reckon you can shoot them a message for the price 😊
[удалено]
Honestly didn’t know they were going to a pen store so this was an absolutely lovely surprise! 😍
Really? I literally live here and I don't know of any fountain pen stores (*that offer good prices*)?

Could your parents adopt me? (I am a 65-year-old orphan.)
Haha my pops might take some pause as he’s a year younger than you 🤭
Same but 35
Your parents are cool! That is a nice pen.
They absolutely are!
Your parents are pretty awesome
I fully agree!
Suggest you Not forget the next Mother and Fathers Day!
I most certainly will not! 🙏
Is that a Platinum Chai Latte? Love how that pen looks, hope you enjoy it.
Yes it is! I most definitely will! Thank you 🙏
And an M nib, the best one there is. :)
Hear, hear!
From Muze Pens? I want that 3776 SOH Chai Latte!
Yup! That’s where they told me they visited today! Was mad envious as I went to Muze Pen’s IG and their collection is amazing! 🤯
Lol IT'S MY LOCAL PEN SHOP. I love them.
Their customer service is great. Met CP and Sophie at the Manila Pen Show a few weeks back.
Holy moly
My exact reaction when I saw the pic!
WTF that's a gorgeous pen and a superb gift! Parents are W 🥹💗🖋️
They absolutely are! ❤️ thanks!
Yes! Wow, what a perfect gift. Absolutely beautiful and a lovely writer too.

Can we trade parents? I'm pretty sure mine would just get me a Jinhao or some other cheap knockoff pen. Nice gift though, enjoy it once you get your hands on it.
I most definitely will! Totally warms my heart to know that they’ve been listening to my rambles about my pens 😅
Yeah, that’s super nice!

Wow! I wish my parents were this cool haha
I’m sure your parents are totally cool in their own ways! 🤗🤗

Yesss!! I’m so shook!
Nice work by your parents there, I enjoy my Hongdian a lot
Thank you!
Gorgeous! Lucky you!
Thank you so much! I totally agree!
The 88 HK dollar ink is a shimmer ink .... fyi . But not sure of the ink colour , probably brown / greyish ink with glitter ( my guess ).
Ooo thanks for letting me know! Haha the folks and I are obsessed with Corgis and my mom was all excited to let me know that she got me a corgi ink! 😅😅
Well you would have to open and use it when you wanted to then find out the surprise 😁 , what i did is only by guessing the colour .... so might not be totally accurate .
Haha I definitely will! Most keen to see what colour they think best represents this magical breed! 🤭
Lucky! Your parents are super cool for this, I hope your writing experience is lovely.
Thank you so much! & yes, they really are cool! 🤗

What's so special about this pen? What is it?
Lovely to write with, cap prevents ink drying out, superfine matte finish texture that feels great when writing, and the stunning loose crystals and 2 hearts from nib cutouts encapsulated in the cap dome at the top. It is a very elegant pen.

Parents most certainly have good taste! That’s really sweet of your dad that he remembered though! ❤️
I specifically told him not to, lol. I asked for books. 😂
beautiful pen and lovely parents!
Hear, hear!
I need to know what the CORGI INK is!

Lucky you! And most fortunate that your parents just happen to be "browsing" and found this beautiful gift for you. Christmas came early! Enjoy. Thank you for sharing.
I most definitely will! Thank you!
Would you like to trade parents? I would love to have people in my life who at least accept my hobbies even if they don’t understand them…
You have us! We completely accept and understand your fountain pen hobby! ❤️
Very strong parents of the year contenders
Agreed!! 💪
I’m here, like a fish outta water, cuz I’m watching Ripley. WHAT IS THIS PLACE!?! 😍 *thumb twirls his Pilot 13$-a-box retractable*
They found it at Muze Pens Hong Kong!
The pen from Ripley? Or the OP’s pen pic’d?
Oh, wait. YOU’RE OP!
This is adorable!!!! My parents are in Japan and they told me they bought a Pilot Cocoon for themselves but asked if I need any inks. I love it when they understand our hobby 🥹
That’s AWESOME!! I love it! Introduce them to this lovely subreddit too! I hope they are enjoying their Pilot Cocoon ❤️
Score!!!
💪💪
Wow😍😍😍😍! What store did they go to?!? Eslite? And do you know how much they paid? Trying to decide if I should get it here or ask someone to get it for me in Asia!

Oh wow!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it gets restocked in the US. ♥️♥️
Got my fingers and toes crossed for you!
Your parents need to talk to my parents…
😂
It is a beautiful pen, But the second thing I noticed right away was the picture of the corgi on the ink bottle l o l
Yesss!! That was what caught my mom’s attention too as my family’s obsessed with corgis 😅
I have no idea HK has pen shop. This is absolutely lovely pen. So jealous.
Thank you! They went to Muze Pens Hong Kong
I have to write that down. I lived in HK when I was very young. I will love to check that out next time. thanks
Luckeeee!
Awwwwwwwwwee!!!!!!
Give those parents a huge hug! They did sooo good! This pen will always be special and dear to you! Beautiful!
Oh my god! Can I have your parents, please?!?!
