Ystudio Rollerball Pen Glamour Evolve - Sunset Orange

The Glamour Evolve "Ocean Sustainable" by Ystudio is a rollerball pen crafted from recycled nylon – sourced from decommissioned fishing nets in Taiwan – with an inner structure of brass and aluminium alloy. The Sunset Orange finish is part of a five-colour Ocean collection, with shades that capture the shifting moods of the sea throughout the day. The barrel bears the characteristics of its material: fine inclusions on the surface are possible and reveal the actual origin of the material.

Features

• Barrel made from recycled fishing net nylon: The material originates from Taiwan and carries RoHS, REACH (EU) certifications and the GRS Global Recycling Standard – a verifiable sustainability chain, not a marketing promise.
• Inner structure of brass and aluminium alloy: Brass gives the pen its characteristic weight and balanced feel in the hand; aluminium alloy keeps the overall weight to around 23 g – distinctly present without causing fatigue.
• Rollerball mechanism with Schmidt 888F refill (black): The water-based ink from the supplied refill flows smoothly with light pressure – ideal for extended writing sessions. The refill is not archival.
• Sunset Orange: A warm, saturated orange that evokes the light transition between day and dusk over the sea – part of a colour palette capturing five daylight moods.
• Packaging made from FSC-certified paper: The sustainability commitment extends beyond the pen itself.
• Brass components develop patina: Over time, individual surface changes emerge that give the pen its character.

Use & Tips

• Everyday writing and notes: The rollerball refill writes fluidly with light pressure on smooth, calendered paper – notepads with a coated finish bring out the best in the fine line quality of the 888F.
• Signatures and short texts: At around 23 g with balanced weight distribution, the pen remains comfortable in brief use – it rests steadily in the hand without slipping.
• Refill replacement: The Glamour Evolve is compatible with standard rollerball refills in Schmidt 888 format. This allows long-term, flexible use of the pen.
• Surface care: Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as it can affect the colour of the nylon barrel. Gentle dry wiping is sufficient for light soiling.
• Brass patina: The patina that forms on the brass components over time can be regulated by occasional polishing with a soft cloth – or left as a personal signature.

For Materials Enthusiasts & Sustainability Advocates

According to the manufacturer, recycled nylon from Taiwanese fishing nets reduces CO₂ emissions compared to virgin nylon by approximately 83%. The raw materials meet European RoHS and REACH directive requirements and are certified to the GRS (Global Recycling Standard). The fine material inclusions visible in the barrel are not a defect but a direct imprint of the manufacturing process – comparable to the grain patterns of natural materials.
