Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball Pen USPS Piñatas

 

As Retro 51 puts it, 'Life is too short to carry an ugly pen'. And we agree. Their bright colours and cool designs have more than a hint of nostalgia about them, and all their pens are made with good old-fashioned values in mind.

The Tornado is a retractable rollerball which features a lacquer-coated steel barrel. There is a knurled twist-action button at the end, to extend the tip, and a slotted pocket clip. It's supplied in a vintage-themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.

The USPS range is a celebration of the United States Postal Service and its place in American history, from the Pony Express of the 1860s to the electric vehicles used today.

Designed by Victor Meléndez with Antonio Alcalá Art Direction, the USPS Piñatas pen features an array of oranges, pinks and blues adorned with donkeys. We wouldn't recommend hitting the pen with a large stick though, they're purely decorative.

Refill with either a liquid ink (supplied) or ballpoint refill.
