Product Description
The Esterbrook Bestie Collection celebrates friendship, fun, and a shared love of pinks and purples through two joyful fountain pens: Bubble Gum Pink and Sugar Plum Purple.
Bubble Gum Pink is a rich blend of deep pinks, fuchsia, and soft whites, lively and expressive without being overpowering.
Sugar Plum Purple leans into a dark, grape-like purple accented with white flecks, giving it depth, contrast, and just the right amount of whimsy.
Both pens are standard Estie models and feature:
- Gold-plated Esterbrook JoWo International size six nib
- International cartridge and converter filling system
- Gold-plated clip and trim
- Turned acrylic construction for the cap, barrel, and grip section
The acrylic material gives each pen natural variation, meaning no two Besties are exactly alike. The balance and weight are familiar and comfortable for long writing sessions, journaling, or everyday use.
Available nib sizes:
- Extra Fine
- Fine
- Medium
- Broad
- Stub
- Fine Flex
- Extra Fine Flex
For fountain pen enthusiasts, Bestie isn’t just cute — it’s thoughtfully made.
The JoWo size six nib offers smooth, reliable performance and flexibility for those who enjoy exploring different writing styles. The international converter system keeps ink choices open, whether you prefer bottled inks, cartridges, or frequent color changes. The polished acrylic provides a warm hand feel while allowing the color story to shine through beautifully in natural light.
This is a pen designed to be written with, not just admired.
Purchase both Bestie fountain pens and receive all Bestie accessory collectibles as a special gift.
It’s a perfect way to keep one pen for yourself and share the other with your Bestie, or simply enjoy the full Bestie experience together.

Details & Facts
The Brand
The Esterbrook brand embodies a significant piece of American writing history. Founded in 1858, Esterbrook became known as "The People's Pen," dominating the market with reliable and accessible writing instruments.
The modern Estie series marks the elegant revival of this legacy. The pen’s simple, comfortable cigar shape is a nod to the classics, merging historic reliability with modern engineering and superior materials. The name "Estie"—a beloved nickname for the brand—stands for a pen that honors the past while inspiring the future of your written word.
Materials
The Estie is crafted to feel exceptional in hand. The barrel is made from high-quality Precious Acrylic Resin, known for its deep, vibrant color and smooth finish. This refined material is balanced to offer a comfortable weight—neither fatiguing nor too light. All metal trims, including the signature clip and accents, are Palladium- or Gold-plated, providing a luxurious and durable touch that perfectly complements the pen’s clean, cylindrical design.
Nib Sizes
At the heart of the Esterbrook Estie lies a nib engineered for reliability and smooth performance. The Estie is equipped with a high-quality, German-made Jowo #6 nib.
- Standard nibs: EF, F, M, B, BB, Stub
- Flex nibs: EF-Flex, F-Flex
- 18ct./750 gold nibs: F, M, B
Custom nibs
Journaler: Medium Stub, based on vintage 9314M. Smooth, friendly for everyday use, adds flair, not too huge.
Needlepoint: For small grids (like Hobonichi). Controlled writing to fit more into smaller spaces.
Scribe: Architect nib. Thin downstroke, thick cross-stroke. Unique architectural line variation.
Mini Stub: Gets fine details and personality. Line variation, good for longform writing/sketching.
Techo: A highly versatile "all-in-one" nib that produces varying line widths based on the pen's writing angle (flatter angle = thicker line; steeper angle = thinner line), ideal for flexible journaling and sketching on the go.
Fude: A bent nib designed to mimic the dynamic line variation of a calligraphy brush ("Fude" means brush), creating very thin lines when held steep and thick, bold strokes when held flat—perfect for artists, illustrators, and dramatic calligraphy.
