There are so many Manila Pen Show 2025 exclusives being announced that it is quite difficult to keep tabs. So, we did the hard work (twice, because the first one was not autosaved) so you don’t have to, listing all pens and inks launching this weekend. Special thanks goes to Plumang Pinoy for helping us verify this list!

If you like this, show us some love on Instagram, yes? If we missed anything, let us know there us well.

Here we go!

Pens

Kasama

The first Philippine fountain pen brand repurposed old arnis sticks and turned them into a new form for the Una model. Anahaw features steel/brass sections, hardwood barrels & cerakoted ultem caps.

Kasama also unveiled a new treatment for its Tala in Ultem and PEEK model by adding a brass filigree further elevates the pen to a work of art.

Gioia

The Italian brand has a special edition coming this weekend through PenGrafik: Gioia Sephora. Only 20 units are available at Php19,000 each.

Inks

Troublemaker

True to their name, Troublemaker didn’t announce their MPS-exclusive inks until a few moments before doors opened. They are expected to do that again this year, but they might be sold out before we get to update this at the show.

Vinta

In Bukidnon’s creation myth, three deities worked together to create haldan ta paraiso (garden of paradise). Vinta’s show-exclusive ink this year, Umber/Haldan 1986, is inspired by this story, featuring “a burnt sienna base and ivy green sheen, topped with a mixed-metallic shimmer that flashes with sparks of blue and copper.”
