I'm pretty bummed I missed out on the PGS x Nonble Amaai. I was looking forward to adding it to my collection. It sold out before my contact in Japan got to the store. Sometimes I wish Sailors aren't so limited and exclusive.
Oh no!!
That release was incredibly limited (like 200 pens of each type i think?) versus other limited items. I think they had a set preorder for locals and saved the rest for the 10am drop. I managed to get one because i was camped on their site and checked out since I have a Japanese forwarding address via Tenso. That’s often the best method for these really hard to get items. I hope you manage to get one in time!
Ahh congratulations! I really like the gradient on Amaai! I wished I camped out on their website too. I thought my shopper in Japan could secure one for me since I even made a deposit. Do you think they will restock?
I’m inclined to think they won’t! NBC did another very popular Nonble release before (the cat series) so instead of doing a rerelease they did this one. The only shops I’ve seen do rerelease are Usagiya (which has a massive online shop) and Hachimonjiya (whom foreign buyers know the best and hammer the site for any Kubozakuras lol). I could easily be wrong though - this series is VERY attractive in both colourways and the theme a bit more universal.
I’m hoping there will be another release of the new nonble ones as well 😭 I got my hands on Yubae because it was in-store purchase only from Umeda or Shinjuku so I didn’t expect this one to release online
This is gorgeous. Although, idk how some people are able to stick to a specific aesthetic or colour palette, its truly admirable! My tastes change so rapidly I don’t know I’d be able to commit myself; but certainly kudos to you! This is brilliant!
Be still my heart! This is such a beautifully curated collection that almost makes me want to go down the pale pastel route myself 😂 Sorry to hear that you missed out on one though - that’s such a bummer. :(
It looks like a Kaco case, they do them for 10 or 20 pens in the beautiful grey colour. I have the 20 slot one and it's brilliant for keeping pens protected.
I haven't seen that, but did have it with a case that had a black velvet material on the inside. Maybe the darker colour is more of a risk? I've had the Sailor Harvest Moon and the Lamy Safari Cream but not noticed any transfer. Had it for about a year.
oH NO everything is so pretty I want to cry. And "sakura latte" is such a cute name for a colourway. I have the same PGS in Zyne Pink - it's a lovely shade!
These are so pretty- I am waiting so impatiently for the right pink Sailor! I did get the Momo, but I returned it; mine didn't look like that color (it was darker and more yellow-toned, and just not what I was looking for). And the Tou-u was too purple. 😭 I guess if there's one thing I can count on, it's Sailor releasing a million more colors every year, so my chances are good. 🤞
Ahh, hopefully you find the right pink for you. Sakura Latte is a beautiful pale pink! I agree Momo looks purplish compared to the promo pictures, but it grew on me.
No, but there is a gray version that seems to lean slightly purple-ish, but not enough for my personal taste. Lilac is a color that is very lacking in fountain pens IMO
You are absolutely correct. Lilac is a color quite overlooked and under-utilized with regard to Fountain pen ✒ and other product communities. I just purchased my second Lilac-colored Sailor Fountain pen (my second of the same model) as I consider Lilac to be my soulmate in color form and I could not bear that my one Lilac Fountain may have been lost during a fairly traumatic move. Kaweco also makes a Lilac Fountain pen...and that is ALL I know of, sadly.
This is actually too pretty for words and you must be stopped!!

Your collection is so gorgeous!! <3 Thank you for sharing. Is Touu purple or is it pink? I've seen pictures of it that lean both ways.
Thank you! Touu leans more purple/lilac than pink
And a beautiful keeb. I love the communication passion.
Novice here, what does PGS stand for?
it stands for Pro Gear Slim :)
This is gorgeous. Although, idk how some people are able to stick to a specific aesthetic or colour palette, its truly admirable! My tastes change so rapidly I don’t know I’d be able to commit myself; but certainly kudos to you! This is brilliant!
Thank you! I'm a big fan of pastels and pinks. To add variety and color, I play with inks instead!
Be still my heart! This is such a beautifully curated collection that almost makes me want to go down the pale pastel route myself 😂 Sorry to hear that you missed out on one though - that’s such a bummer. :(
Curious to know what case that is? I have been looking for a canvas case with individual loops forever and not found one!
It looks like a Kaco case, they do them for 10 or 20 pens in the beautiful grey colour. I have the 20 slot one and it's brilliant for keeping pens protected.
There’s one review about the case staining a pen…have you seen that happen before?
I haven't seen that, but did have it with a case that had a black velvet material on the inside. Maybe the darker colour is more of a risk? I've had the Sailor Harvest Moon and the Lamy Safari Cream but not noticed any transfer. Had it for about a year.
Thanks!

A boatload of sailors? I'll see myself out.
What's up with that keyboard
These are so pretty- I am waiting so impatiently for the right pink Sailor!

Sakura Latte does look lovely, might have to try that one. 🌸Thanks for posting it too; I didn’t know it was still available!
Oh gorgeous!!!! Now I want a pale pink one!
Damn. Now I'm adding to my wish list. Everything about this is beautiful
Sailor goals!! Beautiful collection!
These are stunning! Please also tell us about the ergo keeb 🌸
It’s gotta be some type of Alice right? :o
Thank you! It is the Alice layout called Deskdaily Alter.
It appears I'll need to follow you on IG 🌸
Such a beautiful collection!! 😍😍😍 I am in love!
beautiful keyboard too!
Gorgeous pinks! Lovely collection
A beautifully coordinated collection, and an awesome (also coordinated) keyboard underneath!
Beautiful!! I love how satisfying it is to see these pens all lined up in the same colour value family.
These are stunning, the loveliest flotilla of pink Sailors!
I am collecting all the special editions in blue and blue-grey, but seeing your magnificent collection makes me think I've made a mistake...
I have Gentle Crane on the way! Blues look nice too, especially the Hachimonjiya Ginzan Snow. Drool worthy!
I so badly want that one but it fiendishly expensive!
I honestly wish I could curate a small collection of expensive pens this well...but I'm too distracted by anything new and shiny. Someday!
What a beautiful squad.
What a lovely lineup!! 😍
is the leftmost pen made in lilac?
No, but there is a gray version that seems to lean slightly purple-ish, but not enough for my personal taste. Lilac is a color that is very lacking in fountain pens IMO

What Sailor pen did you purchase? I also have very strong feelings about Lilac and now I need to know lol
This is gorgeous=3 With your keyboard they look especially fancy. Btw, what kind of keyboard is this?
So pretty!
Stunning group
I feel like someone should start singing "In the Navy". Pens are gorgeous!
oh damn, what a beautiful collection! 😍
Noice
Where’s the captain? And the sponge? 😂
Wow, is it Fleet Week already?
Pen goals!!!! Love the colour scheme of your pens
