Ystudio Rollerball Pen Glamour Evolve - Sea Indigo

The Glamour Evolve "Ocean Sustainable" by Ystudio is a rollerball pen crafted from recycled nylon sourced from discarded Taiwanese fishing nets – material that would otherwise end up in waterways or landfills. The barrel features the classic hexagonal profile of the Glamour Evolve series, sits comfortably in the hand, and displays a muted, deep blue colour called Sea Indigo: a cool, serene blue that recalls the depths of the ocean just as dusk falls. The internal brass structure gives the pen a pleasant weight without feeling heavy – perfectly balanced for extended writing sessions.

Features

• Barrel made from recycled fishing net nylon: The material comes from retired fishing nets in Taiwan. Because it originates from marine waste, fine inclusions may occasionally be visible on the surface – a characteristic feature of the material, not a quality defect.
• Lightly textured surface: The recycled nylon feels subtly matted and grippy – the pen sits securely in your hand even without a rubber grip, even during extended use.
• Internal brass structure: Lead-free construction (lead content below 0.01%), provides barrel stability and a balanced feel in the hand without making the pen too heavy.
• Hexagonal cross-section: Reliably prevents the pen from rolling off the desk – practical and formally elegant in equal measure.
• Push-button cap: Clicks firmly into place, protects the rollerball tip securely, and enables one-handed opening.
• Certified material: The nylon meets EU RoHS, REACH, and the GRS Global Recycling Standard.
• Sustainable packaging: The gift box is made from FSC-certified paper and fully recyclable.
• Refill included: Factory-fitted with a Schmidt 888F black refill – smooth-flowing rollerball ink, not archival.

Use & Tips

• Everyday writing: The Schmidt 888F flows evenly and saturated – ideal for journaling, note-taking, and signing on smooth to lightly textured paper.
• Changing the refill: The replacement refill is accessed through the brass closure at the barrel end – simply unscrew and swap the refill. The Schmidt 888F is a widely available format; compatible refills from other manufacturers will also work.
• Paper recommendation: Rollerball ink can bleed slightly on absorbent paper. On calendered, smooth papers, the refill delivers its best writing performance with a precise line and minimal dry time.
• Caring for the brass parts: The brass elements may develop a subtle patina over time – a natural process that gives the pen character. It's best to avoid direct sunlight and high humidity.
• As a gift: Packaged in the FSC-certified box, the pen arrives ready to give – no additional wrapping needed.

For Material Enthusiasts

The nylon in this pen is certified to EU RoHS, REACH, and the GRS Global Recycling Standard. Using recycled ocean nylon reduces CO₂ emissions compared to virgin nylon by approximately 83%. Because the source material is recovered from actual fishing nets, each pen may carry minimal, visible inclusions in the barrel – traces of the raw material that make every pen unique. The brass components are lead-free: lead content below 0.01%, nickel content also reduced.
