Forest Green - Papier Plume

[visvamitra]

Papier Plume is s stationery shop situated in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans. The company began its business in 2001 however the shop was opened in 2007. From what I see on google maps the shop looks quite nice.

Some time ago the company started to offer fountain pen inks. They're supposed to be hand poured and bottled right in the shop. The inks are water based and described as french inks (imported? anyone knows french private label maker?). At the moment the inks are available in 15 colors and are sold in three bottles: small (15 ml), medium (30 ml), big (50 ml):

I've received samples of fourteen colors and I'll review them soon. The full line consists of:

1. Black
2. Burgundy
3. Carmel
4. Denim
5. Forest Green
6. Forget-me-not Blue
7. Lover's Red
8. Ivy Green
9. Midnight Blue
10. Moss Green
11. Oyster Grey
12. Peacock Blue
13. Pecan
14. Red
15. Violet

Forest Green is rather nicely saturated greem with good flow and some water resistance. I like it.

This is nice, but now I'm eager to see the full review of Moss Green!

If it were up to me, I think I'd swap the names of Forest Green and Ivy Green. The Moss Green, though, looks mossier to me than Graf von Faber-Castell's Moss Green.
