AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Introducing the Marlen Vanità Collection
Vanità is a collection of pens that combines elegance and tradition, enhanced by a lucky horn, an iconic symbol of Neapolitan culture. This collection is not just a writing instrument, but a celebration of good fortune and positivity, perfect for anyone who wants to bring a little magic into their everyday life, whatever road they take, adventure they embark on, or choice they make.
The collection is made from fine Italian resin and stands out for the pen’s cylindrical clip, from which a red coral ball can be “unscrewed,” revealing the little horn hidden inside and transforming a simple accessory into a personal amulet. According to legend, the Neapolitan horn represents the phallus of Priapus, the God of Prosperity, whom the Greeks believed protected against bad luck.
The horn symbol has been considered a good-luck charm since the Neolithic era because its phallic shape makes it an emblem of fertility, virility, and physical strength. However, not all horns bring good luck. To truly work and serve as an amulet, the horn must have specific characteristics. It must be tuosto, stuorto e cu ‘a ponta—that is, hard, crooked, and pointed. It must also be made of coral, hence the vivid, bright red color. Coral is a highly prized stone whose very power lies in keeping bad luck away. When given as a gift, the Neapolitan horn amplifies its protective powers.
Vanità is a new way to give the ultimate symbol of good luck—a little secret shared by the giver and the recipient.
