Omas Miku Fountain Pen by Evan Orensten
Omas makes wicked, covetable fountain pens. Italian in design and craftsmanship, they write like a dream and make writing a pleasure. The Miku is a standout, even among their many limited editions. The Manga pen pays homage to the Japanese artform in silver and enamel (450 pieces) and gold and enamel (40 pieces).
The two-tone nib is available in four widths, and has an additional Manga-style engraving, making it unique to this pen. This comes at a price, of course. The silver edition is $1,750 and the gold a hefty $7,450.
Available from Nibs and other licensed Omas dealers.

Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels Bicycle
We liked the Georg Jensen x Brooks Saddles x Sögreni Wheels bicycle collaboration when it was announced last fall. Now that we've had the opportunity to see one of the 14 limited edition fixed gear bicycles in person we really like it. It makes sense that Georg Jensen reached out to Sögreni (both are Denmark-based). The bicycle is basically a Sögreni Classic with a...
