Product description


Discover Sailor Professional Gear Slim - Shikiori Fairy Tale Series: Vega (11-1227-302) A Star-Crossed Pen: Capturing the Romance of a Japanese Legend. The Sailor Professional Gear Slim (Pro Gear Slim), model 11-1227-302, is a breathtaking release from the Shikiori (Four Seasons Weave) Fairy Tale Series.

This particular model, known as Vega (or Orihime - the Weaving Princess), is a poetic tribute to one of Japan's most beloved celestial stories: the legend of Tanabata, the Star Festival. 

 

Product features

  • The Story & Design: Orihime and the Milky Way This pen is not just a writing instrument; it's a miniature cosmos, inspired by the star-crossed lovers Orihime (the star Vega) and Hikoboshi (the star Altair), who are separated by the vastness of the Milky Way and allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month. 
  • Celestial Color: The body of the pen is crafted from a deep, shimmering navy-blue PMMA resin, intended to represent the star-filled summer night sky and the great Amanogawa (Milky Way) that separates the two lovers. 
  • Starlight Sparkle: Subtle, fine glitter is infused throughout the resin, giving the pen a dynamic, captivating shimmer that mimics the countless stars of the galaxy. 
  • The Pro Gear Slim Form: It features the signature Sailor Professional Gear Slim flat-top, compact, and perfectly balanced shape, making it comfortable for daily writing while retaining a sophisticated, premium look. 
  • Accents of Gold: The gold-plated trim—including the wide cap band and clip—provides a warm contrast to the deep blue, symbolizing the preciousness and brilliance of the stars themselves. The Superior Writing Performance True to Sailor's reputation, the Vega provides a writing experience as enchanting as its appearance. 
  • The 14K Gold Nib: This pen is fitted with a smooth, responsive 14-Karat Gold nib with gold plating. This is a significant upgrade from entry-level pens, offering a balance of softness and precise control. 
  • Medium-Fine (MF) Point: The popular Japanese Medium-Fine (MF) nib provides the perfect middle ground—a line finer than a typical Western Medium but smoother and bolder than a Japanese Fine, making it ideal for both detailed note-taking and daily correspondence. 

Experience the famous "Sailor feedback," a gentle, tactile drag akin to a sharp pencil on paper, which many enthusiasts believe enhances control and makes the act of writing a more deliberate, enjoyable experience.

The Sailor Pro Gear Slim Vega (11-1227-302) is an exquisite piece that transports a piece of Japanese myth and the brilliance of the night sky into your hand. It is the perfect choice for the writer, collector, or stargazer who appreciates a beautiful story told through superior Japanese craftsmanship.
