Joys Of Buying Pen In A Singapore Pen Shops

[Tyang]

I had a great buying experience in Singapore recently. There is a beautiful pen shop in Orchard Road within Mandarin Orchard hotel just above the Montblanc flagship store. It stocks good variety of pens and writing stuffs and very rare Japanese makie pens of vintage and new types. No flaunting of these expensive stuffs to intimidate us ( my wife and child) but they were subtle. Definitely a must visit of Singapore pen shop for high end collectors. For me, I am happy with their service and they gave my son a free set of colour pencils even before I said I want to buy anything from them. A true shopping and eye opening experience!

 

I am not related to the business just a shopper.

Sounds like you have found a great place

 

What did you buy if you dont mind me asking?

the shop must be Elephant & Coral. i frequently visit the shop when i find myself in singapore. i agree, they do provide great services and very helpful and friendly to all customers. they often encourage me to try out pens even when i don't buy anything. i get the sense they are there to spread their love and appreciation for fountain pens, more than just selling pens.

Hello,

 

I've been looking up some threads on pen stores in Singapore but they're all relatively old, could you or others just some stores? From what I've read elephant and coral was rude compared to Fook Hing, I assume their customer service has since changed?

Thanks

i personally never had a problem with Elephant & Coral. but i too like Fook Hing. they also gave me good customer service with the number of times i been there.

Could you suggest some other pen stores that are worth a visit?

i don't know many pen shops in singapore. but you can also try another another upscale one called Aesthetic Bay, which located inside ION mall. i been there twice. i didn't get a feeling like i was being provided with a proper customer service both times and so i never made the shop a priority. but to their credit, they do have a large selection of pens. more than Elephant & Coral and Fook Hing. so maybe you can give that a try. who knows, you might get a better service than i did.
