A. Marritt wrote to say that another good store in St. Maritz that sells pens. It is Wega,m a stationery / arts material / book shop with a long history dating back to 1906. The main pen line include Namiki, Graf von Faber Castell, Caran d’Ache, Pelikan, Lamy, Pilot and Kaweco. Always of interest to those who write with fountain pens is the particularly wide selection of writing papers and notebooks including Moleskin, Leuchturm, Gmund, Rhodia, Rossi, Fabriano, Whitebook, Crown Mill & Lalo. Andrew noted they have an interesting selection of calligraphy materials from the likes of Brause, J. Herbin and Finetec. Thanks Andrew.
