Why We Specialise in Pelikan: The Pure Pens Story

There are many fountain pen retailers in the UK. So why did we choose to specialise in Pelikan? The answer is simple: we believe Pelikan makes the finest fountain pens in the world, and we wanted to share that belief with as many people as possible.

How It Started

Pure Pens began with a straightforward conviction: that Pelikan pens represent the best combination of engineering quality, writing performance, and value available anywhere in the fountain pen market. We had tried many brands, and we kept coming back to Pelikan. The piston mechanism, the nibs, the build quality: everything about these pens spoke of a company that genuinely cared about the writing experience.

Rather than stocking a broad range of brands and being average at all of them, we decided to go deep on Pelikan. To know the range inside out, to understand every model and nib size, and to be able to give our customers genuinely expert advice.

Based in South Wales

We are based in South Wales, and we are proud to be a UK business serving customers across the country and beyond. We stock the full Pelikan range, from the accessible Jazz and Classic models to the prestigious Souveran range and special editions, and we carry a comprehensive selection of Pelikan inks.

If you are ever in South Wales, we would love to welcome you to our shop in person. There is no substitute for trying a pen in your hand before you buy.

What We Believe

We believe that a good fountain pen changes your relationship with writing. It slows you down, focuses your attention, and makes the act of putting words on paper a genuine pleasure. We believe that Pelikan pens do this better than any other brand, and we are passionate about helping our customers discover that for themselves.
