New Lamy Al-Star Color

[Spitzner]

Just came from "Pen Days" at Century Pens and got a look at the new Lamy Al-Star color. They're calling it "coffee" but it's closer to bronze with a nice matte finish. Shipping now.

 

btw, the rep told me the black purple LEs have sold out.

 

Edited to add: The rep did not know what--or even if--the Safari LE would be.

Art Brown has some nice preview pics of them. Al Star

 

Looks like a dark chocolate color. Yum.

That photo is MUCH darker than the actual pen I saw! As I said, it's closer to bronze in color.

Like the purple-black Al-Star, this one hasn't appeared on Lamy's own website (yet?). I suppose it won't be available in Europe, then

I like this color. However, Safari/Al-star's color or finish in real life often are not what they look like in pictures.

I'm a big fan of the AL-Star. I have five in all after recently getting an Ocean Blue and Black Purple. I like these newer more deeply colored AL-Stars. I may have to get this coffee, especially if it's actually closer to a bronze. I want a Raspberry too though. What the heck am I going to do with seven AL-Stars?

haha, the Dialog 3 still isn't available on the Lamy US website.

Keep lots of inks in rotation?

Lamy is always a bit slow to get new products on its website. The new colours are available in Europe.

 

HTH,

Good news (Even though it means that my wife will, once again, explain to me that even if I were ambidextrous, I would only need two pens. In total, not another two.)

 

But they've only become available just now, haven't they? I haven't seen them in stores yet (even though the black purple had been available in the US for at least half a year), they're not on your website (yes, I checked ), and the only seller on German eBay that has them only just listed them yesterday afternoon...

 

Anyway, thanks for letting us know!

Definitely want this color but with a 1.1 mm nib. Can't wait to see which ink is perfect for it.

Sorry for getting late into the discussion. Tried a little pen photography - not an ideal setup with poor lighting condition BUT at least on my screen the colour of the Coffee is fairly accurately represented. (The Raspberry one came out waaaay to orange though...)

 

Par,

[i have one with a 1.1 nib loaded with Montblanc blueblack; very nice combo.
