Product features

  • The Exclusive "Rencontre" L'Hélianthe Sunflower Finish: The "Rencontre" (French for "Encounter") series is defined by its striking, custom-blended resin bodies, where transparent and opaque acrylics meet in beautiful, swirling patterns. 
  • The Radiant "L'Hélianthe" Finish: Named for the French word for "The Sunflower", this pen radiates the cheerful, brilliant energy of a flower turning towards the sun:
  • Vibrant Colorway: The barrel features a mesmerizing marble pattern in golden yellow acrylic resin, often swirled with bright yellow and creamy white accents. This radiant color combination is both uplifting and distinct, inspired by the sunniest bloom of summer.
  • Unique Artistry: The "Rencontre" series is defined by a pioneering Sailor technique where two acrylic resins are blended under precise conditions. This process creates an irregular, three-dimensional marbling effect, ensuring that the pattern on your pen is truly one-of-a-kind, making each a personalized work of art.
  • Pro Gear Slim Mini Form: This pen takes the iconic, flat-top shape of the Professional Gear Slim but in a compact "Mini" size (approx. 109.5mm capped). It is a perfect pocket pen, designed to be used posted (with the cap secured on the back) to achieve a comfortable, full-length writing experience. 
  • Premium Gold Trim: The rich L'Hélianthe resin is beautifully accented with gold-plated trim, including the signature Pro Gear cap band inscribed with "SAILOR JAPAN FOUNDED 1911." Despite its compact size, the Pro Gear Slim Mini houses a genuine, high-performance gold nib, providing the writing experience Sailor is famous for. 
  • 14K Gold Nib: It is fitted with Sailor's renowned smaller-sized 14-karat gold nib, guaranteeing a responsive feel and consistent ink flow. 
  • Medium-Fine (MF) Precision: The specific model 11-2231-370 comes with a Medium-Fine (MF) nib. This Japanese size is highly desired for its precise line that offers more expression than a Fine, making it excellent for daily writing, note-taking, and showcasing ink properties. 
  • Signature Feedback: Expect the legendary, pencil-like feedback that allows for ultimate control and a pleasurable tactile connection as you write. 


The Sailor Professional Gear Slim Mini Rencontre L'Hélianthe (11-2231-370) is a celebration of craftsmanship, offering a splash of vibrant colour and a world-class writing experience in a beautifully portable form.
