Parker Sonnet Black Lacquer Set - Fountain Pen & Ballpoint with Leather Parker Pouch

The Classic Parker Set in Timeless Black
The Parker Sonnet: A Modern Classic Since 1994

Designed by renowned designer Geoff Hollington, the Parker Sonnet was created to be 'the classic Parker'—a truly timeless writing instrument honoring Parker’s 135+ year heritage while embracing contemporary elegance. With its perfectly proportioned cigar shape, refined arrow clip, and exceptional writing performance, the Sonnet became one of Parker’s most beloved and successful modern designs.

The Black Lacquer Finish: Timeless Sophistication
The classic Black Lacquer Sonnet embodies Parker elegance at its purest. Multiple layers of deep black lacquer over brass create a lustrous 'piano black' finish that radiates professional sophistication. Paired with gold trim, this combination has become synonymous with executive presence and refined taste—equally suitable in boardrooms, signing ceremonies, or distinguished collections.
