Nahvalur Pens: The "Unicorn" of Writing

Nahvalur Pens: The "Unicorn" of Writing

At P&G, we believe in the power of putting pen to paper. That’s why we’re excited to carry Nahvalur—a fountain pen brand that invites you to slow down, write with intention, and rediscover the feeling of writing something by hand.

Founded in 2019 and inspired by the narwhal (or Nahvalur in Icelandic), this brand blends whimsy with craftsmanship, designing pens that are as functional as they are beautiful. Nahvalur’s philosophy is simple: writing with a fountain pen should be a personal, expressive experience—far more soulful than the everyday ballpoint or the tap of a keyboard. Whether you’re penning a letter, journaling your thoughts, or jotting down to-do lists, a Nahvalur pen turns even the most ordinary moments into something meaningful.

One of our favorite offerings from the brand is their signature collection—an oversized line of fountain pens crafted from rich ebonite. These pens are not only striking to look at, but also engineered with intention. The smooth piston filling system makes refilling feel like part of the ritual, and the three carved ink windows in the barrel nod to the portholes of a ship—a design detail that speaks to both creativity and craftsmanship.

Nahvalur pens are made to inspire. With every stroke, they invite you to tap into your thoughts, your ideas, your story. They remind us that writing is more than a task—it’s an art form, a connection, a way to leave a mark.

So whether you’re a long-time pen enthusiast or just beginning your journey into the world of fine writing instruments, we invite you to experience Nahvalur. Because some unicorns really do exist—and these ones come with ink.

Stop by Paper and Grace to explore the collection in person, and find a pen that feels just right for your next chapter.

We’ve curated a few of our favorite gifts to show our appreciation, perfect for the amazing teachers in your life:

Insects Canvas Mini Pouch – Cavallini & Co.

Historic Paper Clips – Mogul

Add some whimsy to paperwork with these clever, vintage-inspired clips. A little surprise in every stack of papers.

Lamy Safari Rollerball Pen – Blue/Red

Pencil Pot – Eagle

Symbolic and stylish, this ceramic pot is a desktop companion that’s both useful and unique.

Leather Tape Measure 

Compact and eye-catching—perfect for everything from classroom setups to creative projects.

Wonderful Teacher Card

With gratitude,
The Paper and Grace Team

Notable Maker: Studio Carta

Notable Maker: Studio Carta

It's easy to adore Studio Carta. The company's dedication to high-quality and vibrantly designed ribbons could make any stationery aficionado smile. Studio Carta specializes in 100% cotton custom ribbons handcrafted in Italy, though their attention to detail blends effortlessly into any desk accessory they create. Yet, to us - it's the story behind the notorious brand that is truly notable.
