Field Trip: De Roos Vulpenspeciaalzaak Heemstede @DeRoosWit

A recent trip to De Roos Vulpenspeciaalzaak in Heemstede, The Netherlands, obviously required some sharing! The store is located in the very pretty Heemstede, in the center of the shopping street. It's easy to visit if you have a car, but is also reachable by train and a short walk. Or via cycling, if you are so inclined. Alexander spent a few hours with us and let me wander around, poke about, and take pictures of everything.

Some special giant Namikis, regular Namikis, and Namikis adorned in Maki-e. Not safe.

A great selection of solid, reliable Parkers, Pelikan, and Watermans. It doesn't stop there either.

A double broad Caran d'Ache Léman Caviar? I love love love this nib. I love the finish of this pen. I love it, but the section is uncomfortable for me.
