The Pointy End.

 Pencils, Sharpeners, and a Cool Case to Keep Them All In.

Year’s end is nigh. Gift selection is the top priority! Who doesn’t love stationery?

Good question! We can help. Stationery is the perfect gift for anyone!  

We know YOU know the pros  - no cons - of writing, drawing, and storing materials to create with. And they will too, when you present them with the following… 

Blackwing Matte Graphite Pencils

Two random facts about pencils:

  1. A standard pencil can draw a line about 35 miles long, write approximately 45,000 words, and can be sharpened about 17 times. Phwoar!

  2. Pencils have never contained actual lead; their core is a mixture of graphite and clay, despite the common term "pencil lead". Educational! 

Clearly, Pencils are the silent heroes of a gift-giving plan. Think about it. A pencil holds so much promise. For starters:

Unleashed creativity, fine motor skills, opportunity, list-making, sketching, doodling, wall marking for height measurement, etc!

But how to keep them sharp? How about with a: 

Blackwing Two-Step Pencil Sharpener

DID YOU KNOW that the first patented pencil sharpener was invented in 1828 by French mathematician Bernard Lassimonne?? His invention was a block of wood with small metal files inside, but it was not an improvement over using a knife, and unfortunately, it did not become popular …

HOWEVER, the modern, recognisable handheld sharpener was invented by another Frenchman, Thierry des Estivaux, in 1847. This design, a conical-shaped tube with a blade, was a significant improvement and is the basis for most handheld sharpeners still in use today. 

SIZE: 2.3 x 3.2 x 5.4cm.

COLOUR: Grey / Black.

SUITS: Blackwing pencils, and pencils less than 8mm diameter.

FEATURES: Includes two replacement blades (located in the back of the sharpener).

SOURCE: Designed in the U.S.A. Made in China.

And where to put all these pencils and their sharpeners? Why of course, it would have to be in a

Penco Bucket Pouch

OK, who knew, but the modern fashion bucket pouch originated from none other than the Louis Vuitton Noé bag, created in 1932 to carry five bottles of champagne!! Cheers to that!

Nowadays, we at Pulp think of the perfect pouch as something capable of toting all our precious stationery. And the Penco is just the candidate for this task! 

It’s a round-bottom zipper pouch made of durable nylon fabric. Penco's casual design is suitable for both men and women. It has a moderate size and is easy to use, and is also recommended as a makeup pouch for storing cosmetics. It comes with a D-ring, so you can attach a charm or hang it around your neck through a cord strap.
