Introducing Grape Expectations, Sailor North America’s Exclusive Pen of the Year for 2025. Its rich purple hue and golden accents set the stage for bold ideas, big dreams, and stories yet to be told. Even if you’re not penning the next bestselling masterpiece, each page you fill deserves a little magic. And thanks to Sailor’s expertly crafted solid gold nib, every pen stroke feels intentional, turning everything from journal entries to grocery lists into moments of inspiration.
Grape Expectations will be available in the 1911S (14kt Gold nib) or 1911L (21kt Gold nib) model. Both pens fill by Sailor proprietary cartridge or converter.
The 1911's classic, cigar-shaped profile is well-balanced and feels comfortable to hold for long writing sessions. Sailor's gold nibs are some of the finest on the planet, tending to be a size finer than their European counterparts. The fountain pen fills by Sailor's proprietary cartridge or converter (both included) and includes a 1-year limited warranty.
