Based in South Korea, Wearingeul are a gift and stationery supplier with a seriously impressive fountain pen ink collection which they continue to expand upon with some stunning, sheening, shimmer and standard fountain pen inks along with high quality swatch cards and papers all of which are tastefully packaged to a very high standard.
You may be familiar with the Wearingeul brand from their distinctive square bottles, labels and packaging.
I have swatched several Wearingeul inks over the last year and have to say that I like them a lot. The qualities and nuances within each individual ink are sublime and I don’t think for a moment I am the only ink geek of this opinion. In fact the quality of stationery products coming out of South Korea, in general, is definitely getting noticed.
Wearingeul Shimmer Inks featured: Soyoungwije, Grape Coloured Night, A Watery Star, Stars in Autumn, Flowing Leaves, Path, A Star Spattered Hill, I Am Cat and Me In The Mirror.
These nine shimmer inks are all packed full of nuance and shimmer with lovely reactions to bleach. I am Cat, Stars in Autumn and Path particularly caught my eye.
