Introduction

Visconti is delighted to announce the launch of the Voyager Mariposa. A collection that pays homage to the original, iconic Visconti ‘Voyager’ launched in the early 90’s. The Voyager Mariposa maintains the clean, ergonomic lines of the original design but has been modernized with new design features and two unique color palettes formulated by USA resin manufacturer, Kristen Brooks (Fountain Telling), of the Carolina Pen Company.

Mariposa translates to Butterfly from Spanish. A butterfly’s wings come in an amazing assortment of colors and patterns. Aside from being beautiful, they also serve a purpose. They can help butterflies find a mate, blend in with their surroundings, or absorb heat. In toxic species, bright colors warn predators to stay away.

Two spectacular new resins have been selected for their irresistible display of vibrant, shimmering colors that mimic the colorful display of a butterfly wing: Malachite and Painted Beauty. Both resins were selected for their color saturation, shimmer, and swirling. This fountain pen, the Painted Beauty, emulates the blue and pink colors of its namesake butterfly found throughout the Amazon forests, Ecuador, Brazil, and Peru.

Visconti goes further adding patented innovations that pen enthusiasts have come to admire and appreciate from Visconti:

The iconic ‘Ponte Vecchio’ bridge clip
Hook-Safe Lock closure system
The fountain pen features Viscontis high power vacuum filling system and in-house 18kt gold nib
Finally, Visconti added a newly detailed ring with a bold V logo design to accentuate the collection.
