Gucci × Stipula Limited Edition Fountain Pen — #1272 / 1500 (early-1990s) A rare opportunity to own a pristine example of 1990s Italian craftsmanship — a true objets d’art from the golden era when luxury fashion houses flirted with fine writing instruments. Heritage & Rarity: Produced in a limited series for Gucci by renowned Florentine penmaker Stipula — total run of 1,500 pens. This one, serial-numbered 1272, is a standout in mint, unused condition. Materials & Craftsmanship: The barrel and cap are fashioned in deep red-lined ebonite with a warm, wood-grain aesthetic reminiscent of briar wood — elegant, understated, and tactile. Sterling-silver hardware gives a refined contrast, while the two-tone 18 kt gold nib (marked “750”) writes smoothly and will stand the test of time. Design & Iconography: The pen celebrates Gucci’s equestrian roots — the clip is shaped like a horse-bit, and the cap band mimics a belt buckle, subtle yet unmistakably Gucci. This isn’t just a pen; it’s wearable heritage. Collector & Connoisseur Appeal: As part of a numbered limited edition, this pen bridges categories — between fine writing instruments, luxury fashion accessories, and collectible vintage art. It’s ideal for the connoisseur who values originality, craftsmanship, and provenance. Condition & Use: Mint (unused) condition preserves full aesthetic and collector value. The cartridge/converter filling system means it remains fully functional for modern use — you can appreciate it on your desk or put it to the pen to paper with ease. Why this piece matters: This pen captures a moment when Gucci briefly explored the world of high-craft writing instruments, commissioning one of Italy’s finest pen makers. Today, those pens are rare — few survived in mint condition, and even fewer with fully intact original hardware and a working 18 kt nib. As such, this fountain pen belongs in any serious collection of writing instruments, vintage fashion accessories, or luxury collectibles.
