Throughout its long history, Jacques Herbin has been renowned for its innovative ink formulations and commitment to craftsmanship. Established in 1670, they are the oldest name in formal ink production in the world. Known for their vibrant colours, smooth flow, and excellent performance, Jacques Herbin inks are crafted with care and attention to detail. In addition to their unique range of colours, these inks are especially popular due to the use of entirely natural dyes. The use of these dyes mean that these water-based inks are pH neutral (non-acidic), fast-drying and lightfast. Suitable for fountain pens, dip pens and brushes.

These sets are the perfect gift for ink lovers, and a wonderful way to experience the exceptional different shades of Jacques Herbin’s special writing inks.

Available options:

• 350th Birthday Ink Set.
• Scented Ink Set.

In celebration of Jacques Herbin’s 350th birthday, the brand released a special edition ink set that contains their five very first writing inks. Travel back in time to the creation of Jacques Herbin with this historical set. Ideal for display as well, each bottle is enclosed with wax, in the colour of the ink, on the cap and the vintage-looking labels correspond to the originals from that time. 

Jacques Herbin’s scented inks are made from floral and fruit essences to perfume all of your writings. These inks are designed not only for writing but also to provide a sensory experience as they carry a subtle fragrance. Each ink colour in the perfumed collection is associated with a specific scent, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the act of writing.
