Pen - Mystery Seconds Sale
This Product is a SECOND
These products feature cosmetic imperfections that do not impact their functionality. Please note that seconds are final sale; there are no refunds or exchanges.
Not every pen is a flawless masterpiece, but that doesn’t mean it won’t write its own beautiful story. Welcome to the Seconds Sale, where our beloved pens with tiny quirks are looking for a loving home. Let's keep them out of landfill as long as possible ✨
Each pen exterior features a few minor hiccups or cosmetic imperfections but are just as functional and fabulous. These quirks don’t affect the way they write. They’re purely aesthetic, meaning you’re still getting a smooth, dreamy writing experience at a fraction of the price.
How it Works
Love a little surprise? The Mystery Seconds Sale lets you grab a discounted seconds journal without knowing the design until it arrives! A little gamble, a lot of savings.
How it works? You order your mystery product and we hand select the design for you from our available seconds stash. If you love a deal and don’t mind a tote with a little extra "character," this one’s for you!
Please note- Mystery Seconds are Final sale— there are no refunds or exchanges on seconds items.
Imperfections are purely cosmetic—functionality is not affected. If you love a deal and don’t mind a little extra "character," this one’s for you!

How to Use
Warning It is our personal recommendation that you keep this pen in a safe place and avoid sharing it with others. We have first hand experience of the addictiveness of these pens and that they have a tendency to "disappear". As the famous saying goes, keep your friends close but your Pen-emies closer.

How to replace the Ink Cartridge
- Hold the gold tip of the pen (the nib end) and twist to open the pen casing.
- Remove your old cartridge and dispose.

Ps. If that spring pops out, make sure it goes back into the bottom of the barrel (tail end) before you pop your new cartridge in.
