To celebrate the 90th anniversary of Woolf Barnato’s famous “Blue Train” race, Graf von Faber-Castell and Bentley have created a truly unique series of writing instruments.
Betting that he could beat the “Blue Train Express” from Cannes to London, Barnato set off in his Bentley Speed 6. He drove alone and non-stop, arriving in London before the train had even reached Calais.
To commemorate this extraordinary spirit, all limited edition pens are engraved with Barnato’s signature. Referring to the year of the “Blue Train” race, the series is limited to 1,930 pieces, handmade in Germany.

The Zen Of Fine Writing
Sad news, Friends... Our physical store in Biltmore Village has been completely destroyed. It's been devastating for us and has been emotionally hard to process or even get our minds around. The flood waters basically swirled all the way to the ceilings, literally smashing everything to bits and leaving everything coated in toxic mud.
During our transition we have set up a "Current Offerings" category where we will be adding new items daily. We're hoping this will help us bridge the gap during our transition. So please keep checking back as you will find something new each time you stop by.
If any of you feel inclined, we have set up a Go Fund Me site for donations. Here is the link to that: https://www.gofundme.com/f/join-us-in-restoring-a-beloved-local-haven
