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 recently and have to say that I like them a lot. If you’d like to see that review click here. 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.
Below are 24 standard inks taken from the various Wearingeul Standard Ink collections. Many have interesting names based upon mainly South Korean Literary themes.
Wearingeul Standard Inks featured include: Infinite Cube, Taxidermied Genius, Metamorphosis, Human Problems, The Flowers on the Way, Floating Cloud, The Exile of Flower, Kyonghui, The Song of Reed, Sanshiro, Thirteen Children and Resurrection .
Wearingeul Standard Inks featured include: Lost, The Sky – Seasons Passing By, Mature, Shooting at the Moon, Half Moon Dimmed Light, Dorothy, Mind, Tin Wood Man, Masons Song, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion and Jane Eyre.
These 24 standard inks are all packed full of nuance and shimmer with lovely reactions to bleach. Infinite Cube, Taxidermied Genius and Thirteen Children particularly caught my eye.
