Hi folks, we just got back from London Stationery Show and got some amazing news for you J Herbin have announced the new colour for 1670 Anniversary range: Caroube de Chypre Here is the short info we were given by lovely people from J Herbin: "It is said that J. Herbin was very fond of dried carob pods and that is the reason he lived so long!As the other merchants sailing the Mediterranean sea, he would pick them up in Cyprus, on his way back home.The carob bean is the fruit of the carob tree and was cultivated in the Mediterranean countries since ancient times..Carob pods are known for their great therapeutic properties and were marketed throughout Europe as the “black gold of Cyprus”.This new Anniversary ink is called “Caroube de Chypre” because of its intense and deep brown with a hint of red, and of course its gold specks". The official launch date is 14th of July 2016. J Herbin have a very solid brown line-up, so creating a red-brown with gold specs sounds amazing!!!! What do you think? All the best, Mishka
