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. 

Pen Troubleshooting

What is a gel pen and how do I fix it when it's not working correctly?

Everything you need to know can be found here!

How to replace the Ink Cartridge

  1. Hold the gold tip of the pen (the nib end) and twist to open the pen casing. 
  2. Remove your old cartridge and dispose.
  3. Pop in your new cartridge 
  4. Screw the top back on!
  5. Ta daaaaa! 

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.

Customer photo review of Bibliophile Pen - Black

These pens are lovely! The ink is a properly dark black & writes very smoothly so I’m loving it so far 😁

Customer photo review of You Got This Pen - Black

Great quality and has a nice weight to it. Writes well and love that it can be refilled.

Customer photo review of You Got This Pen - Black

The pens are awesome, and it was especially kind and thoughtful having an extra pen thrown in! They write beautifully and so pretty to look at!

Customer photo review of You Got This Pen - Black

All I can say is WOW. Being left handed it’s hard to find pens that are comfortable and don’t smear. This pen meets all the criteria for a favorite forever pen. I used this pen once on immediately went back to the shop to order more. The quality and beauty of quirky cups products are above reproach. I will be going through them for the majority of my writing needs!

Customer photo review of You Got This Pen - Black

I am obsessed with these pens. I had ordered 2 a while back and I loved them. I love the weight on these pens and the writing is so smooth. I had to get more so I got... 5 more and refills. And I'm aiming to get ALL of them. It's the only pen I will use now.

Customer photo review of You Got This Pen - Black

THESE PENS FEEL SO EXPENSIVE IDK HOW TO BETTER DESCRIBE IT?! They are a little bit heavy (for a pen) which makes it TEN TIMES BETTER I LOVE THESE PENS

Customer photo review of You Got This Pen - Black

I'm a pen snob and when I tell you this pen is incredible, I mean it glides like Kristi Yamaguchi effortlessly on ice!! The pen is so unique and I'm thrilled to add it to my collection. I'll definitely be adding more Quirky Cup Collective pens to it soon!!

These pens are 10/10! They are super smooth and the refills make them sustainable. I’m keen to grow my collection!

It arrived safely. Thankyou kindly ladies!🥰👍❤️❤️❤️

I love the feel of the pen and how it looks on paper.

Omgoodness, I write in my journal daily with this pen and I’m so glad I purchased refills. It writes as smoothly as a pilot. Gel pen, which is one of my favorites. Yet, it is absolutely beautiful, and therefore the superior pen. I’m so glad I purchased the journal and pen and will be back to buy a reading companion.

Love it.

Love it!

Pairs perfectly with my reading journal!

Such a great looking pen that writes even better than it looks!!

These pens are my favourites! Always getti no compliments and I love the fact that there are refills so I can keep using it

I love this pen! It's so pretty, it writes smoothly, and the weight of it is helpful because I have limited use of my hands/ dexterity. Super pleased with this purchase!

I had my eyes on this for a long time. Simple design but so so wonderful! I was surprised that the pen had a little plastik cap to keep the pen from leaking. But it is amazing service so it wouldnt ruin my other purchases.

Not your average ball point pen, these pens glide across the page! So smooth!! I’ll definitely be back for more :)

Such a gorgeous pen that writes superbly well and matches the journal I previously got. I feel like some mythical being that lives in a haunted but beautiful woods and writes about everything I see to pass the time. I can’t wait to start my reading journal journey with this pen. Absolutely worth the wait. 💙

Love it! Glides beautifully.

Gorgeous and beautifully made. Smooth and sturdy.

Beautiful pen, writes fluidly. Love the writing on the clip. I’m collecting them all.

Bought this as a gift for my book-obsessed friend and honestly it was the PERFECT gift 😍

Gorgeous pen - design and quality are exceptional. The flow of ink is lush, and the pen has such a good weight to it too.

Just gorgeous

Lovely pen and writes great. Love it.

Love the way this pen writes and love that it matches the journal!

My boss is kinda obsessed with reusable items rather than throw away. I bought this pen (and others) for my co-workers and they all love them. They write so well, they feel good in hand and the refills aren’t expensive!

Absolutely gorgeous!

It likes to come unscrewed

Another gorgeous pen to add to my collection! Beautifully made and excellent quality, and the ink writes so smoothly.

I have ordered an obscene amount of pens from QCO over the past few years and honestly, it's money well spent for me. I have always loved the weight of them and everyone I know who's borrowed a pen from me has asked me where I get my pens. As a first year law student, I can already see how much of a staple these pens will be for my everyday life. And the words of encouragement that reminds me "You've Got This" is honestly so comforting sometimes. Buy the pens. You won't regret it.

The pen itself is gorgeous, but I wish the ink inside were a bit smoother. It can fade out when writing, as is the norm with pens like this. I would buy more of these pens because they still bring me joy through their design. Would like to see felt marker-type pens one day.

Obsessed

These pens are stunning, classy, and perfectly match the Literati Book Set. Smooth, no bleeding, and nicely weighted—they make writing feel effortless. Love them!

Quality item, matches description, well packaged. Seller shipped quickly. I am very happy with purchase and would highly recommend seller. Thank you so much!

Love this pen it’s so beautiful

Somewhat disappointing because they don't write smoothly and the ink stops working on and off while you're writing. Was expecting better quality.

I got this as a Christmas present for my stepdaughter and she loved it. The feel. How it writes all of it! Thank you I will definitely be getting one for myself.
