We mentioned in July that the revived Colleen Pencil Co. had made some significant announcements, including some fascinating new products.
The Colleen web store now seems to be online. A dozen teak pencils sell for JPY4200. I didn’t see the Hi-Pierce pencil for sale.
Unfortunately, it appears sales are to Japan only, via Japan Post COD. I hope Colleen will expand sales to other countries soon.
why do you email them? they may send some to you, since you have a “famous” pencil blog and can give them some free publicity? or find a friend to order some for you?
Hi Germ, “why don’t (I) email them?”
Trust me, I have emailed them. :-) There are both language and geography barriers, but one way or another, I am working on acquiring some of the new Colleen pencils.
