Decent Penshop in or around South Florida?

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

For all you South Florida members out there, where do you go to buy fountain pens in this part of the country? I've been having a heck of a time finding a decent shop around here and find it hard to believe I will continue to have to make all my future pen purchases over the internet.

 

Anyone know something I don't?

Nope. Nothing unfortunately. Levenger's headquarters in Delray used to have a nice selection until they decided to only sell their own pens. And then close the HQ store and relocate to a smaller store in the Boca Town Centre Mall. However, the Miami Pen Show is at the Biltmore in July usually and that's a great way to see pens in person and do some shopping.

There is nothing in S. Florida unless you go by the Aventura Mall where there are around 20 Montblanc boutiques where they will tell you that Montblanc pens are the best in the world, the precious resin is rarer than diamonds and men who buy Montblancs attract more women :roflmho:

Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.

hands art supply in delray has some nice pens, cross, lamy, I think some parkers.

 

I have been trying to find a place that sells Pelikan anywhere in south florida.

 

how is it we live in probably the 4th or so largest metropolis area in the country and yet nobody sells pens down here?

Currently using Pelikan M200 M nib, Noodlers Black, Moleskine

The Pen Show In Miami has been confirmed!! I spoke with Bert at Bertram's Inkwell day before yesterday and he has confirmed it. Tables bought, rooms reserved, websites being changed to reflect the confirmation. July 17-19 at the Biltmore.

 

I have had my best luck online--nothing down here to really get excited about. I had a run of actual ink finds at Pearl's Art Supply off Oakland Park Blvd, but their supply was running low last time I looked.

 

Anyone want to do coffee?

Much Love--Virginia

During my travels today, I discovered what might be the only pen store in South Florida (Levenger sells pens, but this store is 90% pens). It's name is St. Hubert, and it is in Merrick Park, an upscale shopping district in downtown Coral Gables. A very knowledgeable woman named Kathy runs the store, knows her pens, and is happy to dip a pen for you. They have a wide selection of Cartier, Visconti, Omas, Faber Castell, Porsche, MontBlanc, and a couple of other brands of pens. While they are a full retail store, they seem to run various promotions. Currently, if you buy one pen, you can buy a second at 50% off. So, if you buy two equally priced pens, that comes out to a 25% discount. At any rate, it was nice to see at least one store with a good selection of fountain pens down here, so check it out if you're in the area.

Used to be one in the Aventura Mall (St. Hubert's). It closed about a year ago. I wonder if it relocated there?

Very possible. I didn't ask if they had any other locations now or previously. Kathy did say that business was good and that she has customers that have been coming back to her for ten years.

If you ever visit Southwest Florida, there is a stationery store in Naples called Arabesque that sells fountain pens. Last time that I was there (in August 2008), they were selling Graf von Faber-Castell, Visconti, Montblanc and Omas pens among others.

I posted this in the Pelikan forum as well. here is a complete list of authorized Pelikan dealers in Florida. As I found by calling this doesn't necessarily mean they carry or have Pelikan FP's in stock. But if nothing else this should give you some stores to check out. If we could find a list of stores for other brands of FP we may turn up some gold:

There's a Mont Blanc Store in Dadeland mall as well. They at least allowed me to use the pens and figure out which I liked, I think for my writing style a M, or IF, but I didn't care for the prices lol.

 

There's also a few pens for sale at Saks, but nothing I'd really recognized as I'm new to this.
