Blackwing Collaborates with TRAVELER’S COMPANY

We’ve teamed up with our friends at TRAVELER’S COMPANY to create a new capsule collection dedicated to our shared love for all things pencils and paper.

TRAVELER’S COMPANY is a renowned Japanese stationery brand whose products celebrate travel in all its forms, from big trips to daily excursions. Their signature notebook is designed to be customized and to represent the ambitions, experiences, and personality of the person using it.

For our half of the capsule, we made a set of Blackwing X TRAVELER’S COMPANY pencils and a special Blackwing X TRAVELER’S COMPANY Point Guard.

The pencils feature a two-toned black and natural barrel design, gold imprint and ferrule, and steel blue eraser. They include our balanced graphite, which was chosen specifically for its performance with TRAVELER’S COMPANY’s premium MD Cotton paper.

The Point Guard matches the steel blue color of the pencil’s eraser. It is also engraved with a special Blackwing x TRAVELER’S COMPANY logo we designed together for this project.

TRAVELER’S COMPANY created a collection that consists of a notebook cover, a refill insert, and a charm to accompany the pencils and Point Guard.

The notebook cover is crafted with black leather and features a foil-stamped illustration of a Blackwing pencil. The refill is letterpress printed and foil-stamped to look like Blackwing pencils of varying lengths. The paper inside the refill is made of MD Paper Cotton, an original paper containing cotton that works well with pencils.

No TRAVELER’S COMPANY notebook would be complete without a charm to give it some character. The TRAVELER’S COMPANY team has also created an adorable Blackwing pencil nub charm that you can use to accessorize your notebook.

Capsules will also be available at TRAVELER’S FACTORY Nakameguro, NARITA AIRPORT, TOKYO STATION, KYOTO, and the official TRAVELER’S FACTORY online store in Japan. In addition, it will be sold at various events hosted by TRAVELER’S COMPANY USA, starting with the Pacific Northwest Pen Show on 07/13 – 07/14.

We hope this collaboration inspires you to get out and experience the world around you—and document it in your notebook!
