Fp's In Bangalore

Recommended Posts

Hi FPN'ers,

 

I went through a few posts written by hari a few years ago about FP shops in Bangalore. I have had very little luck finding places from where I can buy FP's - esp vintage ones (plato, wilson,parker etc)

 

I did visit Meenakshi Pen Store on Avenue Road a couple of times and grabbed a whole bunch of FP's, but he does not seem to add any new pens to his collection apart from the same old Click ebonites, Wality demos and a whole bunch of Jinhao and Baoer pens. I keep asking him to reach out to Hyderabad, Chennai and Kerala and stock Deccan's, Guiders, Gamas, Rangas and Kims, but no luck so far

 

Do you know of places in Bangalore where I can buy some vintage Fp's? Oh, what would I give to get my hands on a few parker vacumatic and 51 clones....

Bangalore has dried out as an FP destination. Nothing to be found there, Just like almost all south Indian cities and towns... Chennai and Hyderabad are now last bastions...

Bangalore has no FP-specific stores. I also tried Meenakshi, but no new additions as you mention. Sapna book store has a few high-end collections whose price start from 1,000 like Cross, Lamy etc. But overall, the scene is disappointing.

      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
