The Adelaide Arcade Exclusive Ink Collection


Van Dieman's Ink, a celebrated artisan of fountain pen inks based in Tasmania, is thrilled to unveil an exclusive collection curated for Pencraft, the renowned writing instrument boutique nestled in the heart of Adelaide's historic Adelaide Arcade. This collaboration marries Van Dieman's mastery of color and ink formulation with Pencraft's deep-rooted tradition in providing exquisite writing tools and accessories since 1968.

The Adelaide Arcade Collection draws inspiration from the architectural and historical essence of its namesake, encapsulating the elegance and charm of one of Adelaide's most treasured landmarks. Each color in the collection tells a story, from the serene and inviting hues of Mint Green and Fountain Green, reminiscent of the iconic fountain at the arcade's entrance, to the rich and earthy tones of Jarrah Brown, echoing the warmth of the arcade's woodwork. Hidden Tearoom Black offers a glimpse into the mysterious and cozy corners of the arcade, with its dark black hue accented with subtle purple undertones. Lastly, Crimson Ecrit, a deep Indian red, pays homage to the arcade's vibrant history and the timeless art of writing.

Pencraft, a family-owned boutique deeply embedded in Adelaide's heritage, has been a cornerstone for pen enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering a treasure trove of writing instruments and knowledgeable service. This partnership with Van Dieman's Ink highlights both brands' commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and the celebration of storytelling through the medium of ink.

We invite you to experience the Adelaide Arcade Collection, a testament to the beauty and history of Adelaide, and a tribute to the artistry of writing. Available exclusively at Pencraft the Boutique, Adelaide.
