Product Overview

Why Bebe (beh-bee)?
Because when I made the prototype, my first response was: “OMG LOOK AT THE WEE BEBE FOUNTAIN PEN.” Yes, I am a nerd and I decided to lean into that. (C’mon, I make fountain pens. Nerd is a given.)

This pen was designed for people who prefer smaller grips and lighter weight pens, but still want some… girth… in the body. As much art as it is a pen, each pen is one of a kind, turned from my own small-batch resin casts.

I mean it, too. Even when I make two Bebes from the same cast, every single Bebe pen is one of a kind – I cast to make sure of it. 

Each pen is also entirely hand-crafted, including the metal components. (The nibs, not yet.)

All of the resin material used is cast in-house. The bodies are cut, prepared, and shaped by hand on my trusty wood lathe, and the custom-designed metal components are machined and threaded about five feet away from there on my tiny metal lathe. Each pen is then carefully assembled and meticulously hand-polished in three different stages.

Sure, that seems like a lot of work for a pen, but I take my work seriously because I believe we all deserve to have our passions and joys treated with that kind of respect and consideration. If your passion is writing or fountain pens, you deserve a Bebe fountain pen in your pen collection. You deserve tools made by someone who is as passionate about what they do as you are.

Comes with a gift box.
