Immerse yourself in the world of Jacques Herbin’s Prestige Collection Inks! Travel back in time to the creation of Jacques Herbin and other important historical events in the company’s journey. Built on centuries of history, Jacques Herbin maintains a reputation for unmatched quality.

A range of 1670 Collection Inks commemorate the 340th anniversary of the company, the world’s oldest producer of inks. Created with more than 300 years of ink-making experience, these special inks had their start with formulas collected by Jacques Herbin during his extensive travels. The 1798 Collection marks a time of great social change and modern discoveries in France – and the era in which steel dip pens began to replace quills. Jacques Herbin’s great-grandson moved the shop to a new location in Paris that allowed it to expand its production of sealing wax and ink.

These writing inks bring colour and inspiration to your creations! With their luminous and deep colors, they are adorned with a veil of glitter that illuminates, and enhances, them. Infused with gold glitter particles, the 1670 Collection inks are available in 5 colours (Ocean Blue, Scarlet Red, Stormy Grey, Chivor Emerald, and Cypriot Carob). Infused with silver glitter particles, the 1798 Collection inks are available 1 colour (Egyptian Carnelian).
