Petition For A Purple Lamy Safari


Ethereal Winter Wind

Recommended Posts

Well I've decided to start a petition requesting that Lamy makes a special edition purple Lamy safari. Every year when there speculation about what colour the next year's special edition Lamy safari will be and purple is always a popular request, and every year thus far Lamy has not made a purple one. Please help by signing this petition:

It is not really a demand like normal petitions, but a request and something to show that there is a lot of support behind this colour, in the end it is Lamy's choice as a business to whether they think it is something viable to produce. If there is enough of us maybe Lamy will take notice.

Love your mock up. I'd definitely buy a purple one. I already have two purplish Al-Stars.

I wonder what is their process of picking up new colors. I believe they do limited runs not only to increase sales to collector's and lovers of those colors, but because they have to look after their design. If they did a rainbow of Safaris readily available, the way we see their product will be much less exclusive and thoughtful. It will feel as generic mass-produced pens. These colors must relate to something contemporary, that is why they changed the Safari lineup over the years, and suddenly black clips in colored Safaris feel retro. Lamy not only follows fashion but they do fashion.

OK,purple would be nice for some, but how about a dark green or a chocolate brown??? And without the black clips which have a tendency to flake off so that the brass underneath shows. Or how about some others in a matte finish, or ..................

I rather like the neon coral. Is there a neon orange? Would be nice.

 

It might be this year's color, but it would be strange both the AL-star and Safari to have the same tone in the limited edition color. But they are releasing the orange ink, so, it is possible. Otherwise it would have to be neon green or neon blue and it would be very similar to the previous aquamarine and apple green. I wish it was matte dark brown or one of the 2 discontinued original colors.

Neon purple is doable.

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Haha, it might just have to be a neon purple considering the lamy trend :P

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
