Skulls & Roses new beginnings


As the souls of Halloween and the Day of the Dead are roused, the quintessential Italian pen is reborn. Advanced engraving techniques transform the timeless Extra: flouting traditional rules to pursue a grittier truth. Turn over a new leaf with Skulls & Roses. The classic, with a rebellious twist.

Skulls & Roses manifests new beginnings in both style and spirit. On it, intricate full-body #tattoo engraving subverts the Extra's classical contours to illustrate the perpetual struggle between vitality and mortality. Only after death may rebirth take place. This is a pen for pivotal moments.

Realised in sterling silver, Skulls & Roses is a statement of intent. Advanced, multi-axis engraving creates a dense, interwoven motif that reminds to confront our hopes and fears in order to seize the day. Set into our hallmark contour clip, a lone diamante represents the creative lifeblood that drives maverick souls forward.

"One person's #tattoo is nobody else's business" Don Ed Hardy

With its timeless proportions and first-class componentry, Skulls & Roses embodies the essentials of elevated writing. The reference-level Extra has lost nothing in relevance since its 1930s heyday, but rarely has it more truthfully confessed its owner's determination to extract the most from life.

A grip section of veined Montegrappite artisanal resin promises the sensation of total control. Editions of 333 rollerballs and fountain pens reference the Angel Number: a sign to embrace individuality and forge ahead in search of acceptance and love.

Life's turning points should always be captured in words. Defy destiny.
