Burgundy - 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

Burgundy is nice ink but it's not typical - it leans strongly toward purple. Nice color.

I bought this and their blue-black when I made my first visit to Papier Plume a few years ago. It's a nice shade and your review reminds me that I've not used it in a while. I'll have to dig it out.

 

Based on the reviews I've seen posted here recently, they seem to have expanded their line. I hope to get to NOLA within the next several months--I should pick up some of the other colors when I'm there.

I hadn't tried this one. It reminds me of Yama Budo. Does it sheen?

I don't normally like "burgundy" inks but this one is really pretty -- it reminds me of what De Atramentis Red Roses looked like coming out of the F nib on one of my Vacumatics.

Thanks for the review.

Agree. I feel the same too.
