Lamy Dark Lilac

WOW, you seem to get sheen from whatever ink you use. I'm impressed.

 

Um, thanks. No more so than anyone, though. I think the Lamy Coral had been talked about; the Sailor Pink, I can't think anyone here would have bothered looking at, I only did so by chance. But, yeah, maybe the Macassar.

I just got down to my B&M late.....real late. They didn't have it. But they sent me to the new Lamy only store on the Hauptstrasse of Heidelberg. They ran out in May .....that was a LE that was way too limited.

Thanks so much to ralfstc for the sample of Lamy Dark Lilac. Omigosh, I love this ink so much. But AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHHH I can't seem to find it anywhere!!!!

 

Did some research -- am I correct that this ink was a limited edition and no longer available????

 

WHAT ARE THE CHANCES THAT LAMY MIGHT MAKE SOME MORE, GIVEN HOW POPULAR IT IS?????

 

Debbie, with fingers crossed very hard

One bottle up on ebay, current bid $37.

 

Three sellers have cartridges for sale, price is reasonable but the shipping from England is horribly expensive.

 

Lamy may or may not be planning to re-release this one.

Thanks, Chromantic.

 

I think I will savor the sample I have and hope that Lamy decides to rerelease this ink!

Here's the swab I did in my ink journal with my Lamy Dark Lilac sample, photographed with my macro lens, added the girl digitally.

 

I've heard Diamine Bilberry and De Atramentis Aubergine are close matches, but I do love that gold sheen.

I'm glad I stashed 5 packs of cartridges very early. Haven't dared to touch them so far.

 

Will have to touch them in the future, I guess... or sell them to fund my retirement.

At a glance, Diamine Majestic Purple is fairly close (lacks DL's slight touch of red-violet). Also exhibits gold sheen.

 

The color of KWZ Gummiberry may be even a bit closer, judging from review photos; don't know if there's sheen.
