WIG & PENS

Wig & Pens are based in the beautiful valleys of South Wales in the UK and are very rapidly becoming the pen of choice for the professional who wants to make a statement when seeing clients. They produce bespoke, ‘one off’ pens to rival any of the top brands. All pens are handmade individually and absolutely nothing is mass produced. Since establishing themselves last year they now boast an ever increasing international client base ranging from Diplomate, Ambassadors, famous Journalists and many members of the legal profession including the Judiciary. In fact, they recently sent a pen to a member of the judiciary of Qatar and that fountain pen is being utilised on a daily basis!

The business came into being in very unusual circumstances. Its founder, David Bentley-Miller, in addition to being a Solicitor-Advocate also suffers from Bi-polar disorder and it was a conversation with his doctor who suggested that making things can often provide a diversion and respite for when the low periods come. David decided to enrol at a local woodworking class one evening a week. Whilst at that class he set about making pens for himself to use at Court.

Unsurprisingly, other Lawyers were soon taking an interest in the pens when they saw them in Court and within a short time David was being asked to undertake commissions for them which proved to be successful. As his skills grew, David soon realised that the pen market was a pretty crowded place and he wanted to do something to differentiate himself from the hobbyists who appear at local craft fairs. This was not his market or indeed his target audience. Therefore, he set about designing pens, all of which are completely unique. They may look similar, but they will be different. The resin pens have random patterns in them that simply cannot be replicated with exactness. Additionally, there is the now famous Wig & Pens Historic Collection. This section really has started to become a great talking point amongst pen connoisseurs internationally as they stock wood from such sought after items as a WWII Mosquito fighter plane, the world famous Spitfire, 1860 Houses of Parliament refurbishment and also from the Tower of London itself to name but a few examples of materials that you can have turned into your very own piece of writing history.

In line with their bespoke nature, you can choose the colour of your pen working parts ranging from gunmetal, Gold, Chrome etc. In addition, they stock over 150 Fountain pen nib types from standard size 5 Bock nibs right up to Solid gold or Platinum. It truly is a bespoke service making the pen that looks and feels as individual as you. Naturally, a full laser engraving service is also available for those who want to give these beautiful pens to mark a special occasion.
