Pierre Cardin - Coral Pink

Pierre Cardin - Coral Pink - Ink drop

Pierre Cardin Writing Instruments is based in Hong Kong. Operated by I-Way Co. Ltd, they are an official extension of the iconic fashion design label. The brand offers a lovely assortment of inks, but outside of their website (www.pierrecardin.hk), I’ve only seen them for sale at select online retailers in Asia and one or two in Europe. I picked up today’s ink in Korea, and I wish I had bought the full selection! They have some interesting selections and are priced quite nicely.

Pierre Cardin - Coral Pink - Color range

Today’s ink is Coral Pink from their City Fantasy collection. Most of the line relate to more traditional world cities, but in this case it was inspired by a sea life city, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef!

Pierre Cardin - Coral Pink - Hints of sheen

This is a true coral pink. It’s bright and concentrated, full of life and joy. I have a number of coral inks, and this is by far the richest. It really exceeded my expectations. There’s some nice dark edging, which helps it pop even more. The splatter shows a bit of gold sheen edging, as well, but I didn’t see any in writing. It flows nicely, both smooth and consistent. It’s a joy to use!

I’m really impressed with the quality of this ink. This isn’t a brand company that makes ink, this is an ink company that has a great brand! It’s a great writing ink, and a brilliant, punchy coral pink. I’d love to see it dry a bit faster, but that’s not uncommon in pinks and bright reds, and it’s definitely not a deal-breaker. I’m looking forward to trying more from Pierre Cardin!
