As someone that collects purple pens, these are all good choices. I'd like to throw in my personal favorites. The Opus 88 Omar in purple. A nice chonky pen that writes for ages without needing a refill. Also I have some cool Kaweco and Lamy ones, but they don't make them anymore 😥
Man. Drew. You are such a shrewd salesman. Simply love the way you describe the pens/inks or for that sake your point. Seen your duel vids w Brain and felt the same.
The Pilot Metropolitan in Retropop Purple was my first pen and is still my favorite writer, especially with the pilot purple ink…soooo smooth and pretty!
I got the Platinum 3776 in Lavender for my birthday just a few weeks ago. It is an amazing pen!!!! I love it. I now use that pen every single day. I also have the purple TWSBI, and and an aluminum purple LAMY. It is safe to say that I LOVE purple!!!💜💜💜
A Pilot MR Retro Pop Purple was my first fountain pen. It's no longer my daily writer, but it's still the pen in my collection that I most enjoy visually.
Hi Drew! What a plethora of purple fountain pens! Not only are they pretty, but they provide prodigious pleasure writing with them! Thanks for showing us all the cool purple pens!
I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll continue to say it again. Pilot really dropped the ball when it comes to the name. The Pilot Retropolitan would’ve been so fitting. Still a beautiful pen though. And purple is one of my all time favorite colors, so this video is spot on for me.
I recently categorized all my pens into color groups (on a spreadsheet) and out of what I classify as purple, my fave has to be my TWSBI Diamond 580 Iris.
I have most of these purple pens. A wonderful pen the Diplomat Magnum I penabled someone with ink included. It was one of my favorite pens! It makes me wish I had kept it but I have two other colors.😼. Any way this was such a great video. I will be inking up my other purple pens to play with.😊. Thank you for making this video to bring attention to the awesome color purple.💜💜
People my age now have to deal with an earworm if “It was a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple pen consumer,” to the tune of a fifties novelty hit called (I think), Flying Purple People Eater. I loved it when I was about 7 in 1958. Of course I was also young enough to love Alvin and the Chipmunks (shudder).
I love the choices here, and love purple pens in general. Could I add, for consideration, the Sailor 1911S in Wicked Witch of the West. It's a deep eggplant with black accents. And the writing is honestly some of the smoothest I've experienced. My hubby got it to surprise me and I have dropped all my other pens in favor of this one. So smooth and it comes with the converter so you can fill with all colors of ink.
You said 'currently available' so I'll throw in: TWSBI Diamond Mini AL - Grape I like it more than I expected to... My other fave purple pens, which may not still be available are: Sailor Pro Gear Slim - Northern Lights Purple Opus 88 Koloro- Transparent Purple Lamy Safari - Candy Violet And my number one is: Monty Winnfield Highwater - Amethyst
yooo, the al star black purple was one of my first too! I got it at a discount for sticker residue at a store a city over (my own city has no decent fp stores) and I've been soooo happy with it. I recently filled it with the lamy blackberry ink (bought off goulet pens 🙏🏽) and have been frankenpenning it with the al star fiery to great effect 💜✨️
Thanks for another great chromatic teaser. Exploring color nuances is one of my favorite aspects of fountain pens. I pair my Prismatic Purple Magnum with FWP Tanzanite Sky and my Transparent Purple Eco with Diamine Imperial Purple. I just added the Decimo and the AL-Star to my GPC wish list. I also pair a Glow Purple Eco with Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses and a Purple Sailor Compass with Noodler's Purple Heart.
Ditto on the Lamy Al-Star in Black Purple! It was also my second pen, after a black Safari. Even now that I've expanded my collection with some higher-end pens, I still reach for my Al-Star on the regular. My favorite thing is keeping Diamine Writer's Blood in it, they're such a fantastic coordinated match 😍
Is Pelikan not even making the Twist in Shine Mystic anymore? I know people don't necessarily love the shape or grip of that pen, but the green-to-purple shimmer is very pleasing.
I have a crazy number of purple pens, and they’re all so different! The Nice Lavande was my first 3776 and I fell in love. It has a broad nib and was *made* for using with Robert Oster Viola. 🤩
BENU’s lavender talisman not being on this list might be a crime against humanity 😂. Enjoyed the list! The decimo is my all time favorite pen (so far, I’ve only been into fountain pens for about a year now). The raden galaxy is my grail pen: I’d go up in size for that beauty Have to plus one the TWSBIs stay wet forever ❤
You know you’re deep in the fountain pen rabbit hole when you pause the video and can tell all the pens on the table before Drew even talks about them.
A fine selection, sir! I own all of these pens. I also like the Diplomat Magnum Transparent Purple. I think the purple Platinum Preppy is the best affordable fountain pen, and the purple Platinum Plaisir is underrated. Of pens still in production that you sell, my favorite is the Benu Euphoria in Ocean Breeze because it's got a rich pearlescent purple center with holographic glitter and glow-in-the-dark ends---the ultimate purple party pen!
Yes! Purple pens! Thank you, Drew! I have the Twsbi, the Diplomat and the Platinum purples. You have convinced me that I should get at least one more purple pen. But...which one? Hmmm...
Thanks for the video. I got the special edition lamy blackberry violet in April as my first pen. I very much want an alstar or eco in purple it would look so great! ❤ I know what I'm getting myself as a gift😅
Diplomat Aero in violet. There are a few nice purple anodised aluminium pens (Kaweco, Gravitas). The Omar is a great pen but perhaps tends to the blue side. The retro pop or TWSBI grape is probably my favourite (pure) purple shade. But then there are some rather nice BENUs, Duragraph etc multishafed resin pens... Just need to get them all.
Thanks for the video,Drew! I've had a Crow Black Diplomat Magnum for a few months. I was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed using it. I picked up a second one in the pulchritudinous Prismatic Purple which,as I understand it is a Goulet Exclusive(?) The color-designation on the box says"John Doe".
I have the Lamy AL-Star in Black-Purple. It's a truly stunning pen that has to be seen in real life. Weirdly, despite the name, I don't think of it as purple at all. It's kind of a rich dark magenta.
My only purple pen is a Sailor Compass 1911 which comes with a double bonus; the converter piston knob is also purple AND if you fill the pen with purple ink (e.g. Diamine Imperial Purple) the clear feed also looks purple... it doesn't get much more purple than that !
Purple is my favorite color! I already own the purple leopard metropolitan, the lamy black purple, and the diplomat prismatic purple, lol. I also love glowy things so I have the TWSBI purple glo too, haha. The translucent purple TWSBI is on my list. I prefer the deeper blue-violets or blue-purple shades, but the lavender Decimo and 3776 Nice Lavande are still very pretty potentials. Maybe if I win the lottery, haha. I’ve already accumulated many purple inks and just bought a couple purple Diamines from the UK. Perfect perusal of the pulchritude of purple pens, Drew! 💜
I own 6 of the 8, if that says anything! I do like the TWSBI AL Mini in Grape and a huge fav is the Kilk Celestial Purple, among some others. The "Black Purple" isn't really either to me--I think of it as more of a burgundy.
THANKYOUSOMUCH!!! My mom is a huge purple pal! I recently got her into fountain pens and she got an al star and a metro already but now I’m out of ideas lol
LOL I just ordered a Diplomat Traveller in Petrol from you because yeah purple I love my amethyst Kaweco double broad whick fits the rich yet translucent slot. If that Metropolitan didn't have the leopard on it, I'd have one.
I so want an Estie Lilac. 😩 Purple leopard! The best color. TWSBI needs to do more translucent colors. I own the purple one. It’s great. Thank you Drew🟣
If we can allow not entirely purple, I've been wanting the Benu Love Story for a while, as a purple enthusiast. And it's got glowing purple! How can you not Love that... Story (writer)?
I am astounded by the AMAZING alliteration!
Indeed, it impressed immensely
As someone that collects purple pens, these are all good choices. I'd like to throw in my personal favorites. The Opus 88 Omar in purple. A nice chonky pen that writes for ages without needing a refill. Also I have some cool Kaweco and Lamy ones, but they don't make them anymore 😥
I’m glad that the Diplomat Magnum is getting some recognition 💜

I knew I was missing something in my day.. a dose of Drew. Just what I needed, thanks! Amazing as usual :)
Ha! Thankya kindly, Kendall! - Drew
I really like my purple Pilot Falcon. Such a beautiful color.
Purple is slowly becoming one of my favorite colors. So I needed this episode
Sailor 1911L Wicked Witch is my favorite purple.
Ditto!
Great choices but I would love to have seen the pilot falcon in purple on that list. It’s awesome.
Totally agree about the color of that black purple Al-Star. Love mine. The only thing that it needs to make it perfect is a black clip.
Agreed! - Drew
Hi Drew! What a plethora of purple fountain pens! Not only are they pretty, but they provide prodigious pleasure writing with them! Thanks for showing us all the cool purple pens!
I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll continue to say it again. Pilot really dropped the ball when it comes to the name. The Pilot Retropolitan would’ve been so fitting. Still a beautiful pen though. And purple is one of my all time favorite colors, so this video is spot on for me.
I got my wife the Retropop Pilot Metropolitan and the Lamy AL-Star Special Edition in Lilac.
Nice collection 👍.
My favorite purple fountain pen is the Pelikan twist mystic shine. That gorgeous colour fits perfectly with the crazy design.
It really does! I have this pen too.
I love my Nahvalur Original Plus in lavender! The swirls in the resin are mesmerizing and even the nib is purple!
My favorite color! Can't wait for this!
My favorite is my Pilot Custom 72 in Violet
The Conklin Duragraph Purple Nights fountain pen with the flex nib. I had to really work to get the nib to write with a wonderful flow of ink.
Aurora Optima Violet is a stunning purple pen!!!
Purple is the color of my alma mater, so I always appreciate different ways to express my violet tendencies. Thank you for this.
I recently categorized all my pens into color groups (on a spreadsheet) and out of what I classify as purple, my fave has to be my TWSBI Diamond 580 Iris.
I like the 580AL Mini in Grape (currently inked with Rainbow's End).
This one exactly!
Love purple, lavenders, lilacs. My favorite at this moment is the Safari Candy Violet. 4 of the pens you mentioned are on my wishlist already 💜
I have most of these purple pens. A wonderful pen the Diplomat Magnum I penabled someone with ink included. It was one of my favorite pens! It makes me wish I had kept it but I have two other colors.😼. Any way this was such a great video. I will be inking up my other purple pens to play with.😊.

Just a beautiful video Drew. I never thought I would own a purple pen but I do!
Diplomat Magnum in Demo Purple is super underrated 😤😤😤
I NEED THIS LIST FOR BLACK ONES !
There are SO MANY, though! I wouldn't know where to even begin! - Drew
The Platinum Plaisir Violet is growing on me. Thinking of getting an Al-Star in black purple soon👍
I MUST know what ink was in the TWSBI! It matched the cap and filler knob SO WELL! 😃
5:20 Ha! It was written for us in the writing sample with the pen. Ink: Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-Shikibu
Outstanding alliteration, Drew!
Thanks, Dan! - Drew
Esterbrook Estie Punch ist a most beautiful purple pen and it writes heavenly 😍 Def MY favourite purple pen. Thanks for the video!
I come across this video as I'm using my purple twsby mini.
I love the choices here, and love purple pens in general. Could I add, for consideration, the Sailor 1911S in Wicked Witch of the West. It's a deep eggplant with black accents.

I like it more than I expected to...
My other fave purple pens, which may not still be available are:
Sailor Pro Gear Slim - Northern Lights Purple
Opus 88 Koloro- Transparent Purple
Lamy Safari - Candy Violet
And my number one is:
Monty Winnfield Highwater - Amethyst
I’d add the TWSBI diamond 580 Iris, one of my favorite pens.
Agreed! While not purely purple, I think it belongs in here too.
yooo, the al star black purple was one of my first too! I got it at a discount for sticker residue at a store a city over (my own city has no decent fp stores) and I've been soooo happy with it. I recently filled it with the lamy blackberry ink (bought off goulet pens 🙏🏽) and have been frankenpenning it with the al star fiery to great effect 💜✨️

TWSBI purple diamond mini! And purple pilot falcon. With soft fine nib, of course!
One of my favorite purple pens is the Laban 325 Wisteria. Gorgeous purple body offset by a cream colored cap and a smooth writer to boot.
💜 purple lover here!
I have both pilot metros in purple! Great video!!
I just got the purple VP Décimo and it’s my favorite pen because of the color and the way it writes. 🙂
Okay
Phenomenal purple poetry!
I love the Lamy Safari in the blackberry color
Ditto on the Lamy Al-Star in Black Purple! It was also my second pen, after a black Safari. Even now that I've expanded my collection with some higher-end pens, I still reach for my Al-Star on the regular. My favorite thing is keeping Diamine Writer's Blood in it, they're such a fantastic coordinated match 😍
does anybody have any purple ink recommendations that work decent on specifically copy paper
Is Pelikan not even making the Twist in Shine Mystic anymore? I know people don't necessarily love the shape or grip of that pen, but the green-to-purple shimmer is very pleasing.
I have a crazy number of purple pens, and they’re all so different! The Nice Lavande was my first 3776 and I fell in love. It has a broad nib and was *made* for using with Robert Oster Viola. 🤩
My favorite pick (if only I could afford it): Sailor 1911L - Wicked Witch of the West
im glad that i own a purple Pilot Metropolitan. Hoping to expand my purple pen collection next with a purple Kaweco Sport
I really want a Twisbi Eco without a transparent purple color. That to me would be the best option.
BENU’s lavender talisman not being on this list might be a crime against humanity 😂. Enjoyed the list! The decimo is my all time favorite pen (so far, I’ve only been into fountain pens for about a year now). The raden galaxy is my grail pen: I’d go up in size for that beauty
Have to plus one the TWSBIs stay wet forever ❤
I’m a huge fan of the lavender benu.
That one would have been on my list, for sure! - Drew
You know you’re deep in the fountain pen rabbit hole when you pause the video and can tell all the pens on the table before Drew even talks about them.
Yup! You're officially down the rabbit hole, for sure! - Drew
Love the TWSBI and the Platinum 3776! Thanks Drew! But, wait! I do love my Lamy Safari, so I have to include it as one of my favorite purple pens!
A fine selection, sir! I own all of these pens. I also like the Diplomat Magnum Transparent Purple. I think the purple Platinum Preppy is the best affordable fountain pen, and the purple Platinum Plaisir is underrated.

Wow! That's awesome! - Drew
Yes! Purple pens! Thank you, Drew! I have the Twsbi, the Diplomat and the Platinum purples. You have convinced me that I should get at least one more purple pen. But...which one? Hmmm...
Pure perfection!
Purple fountain pen & purple ink are perfect together 🎉
Thanks for the video.
I got the special edition lamy blackberry violet in April as my first pen. I very much want an alstar or eco in purple it would look so great! ❤ I know what I'm getting myself as a gift😅
from now on, we get video every two weeks of a different member of GPC talking about news of a different colour, I doubt be down for that
Diplomat Aero in violet. There are a few nice purple anodised aluminium pens (Kaweco, Gravitas). The Omar is a great pen but perhaps tends to the blue side. The retro pop or TWSBI grape is probably my favourite (pure) purple shade. But then there are some rather nice BENUs, Duragraph etc multishafed resin pens... Just need to get them all.
Isn't there a Pelikan M600 in purple? Would love to be able to try that, although I could probably never bring myself to part with the cash!
My number one is both Platinum 3776 Nice Lavande and Pilot MR Retro Pop, two is the TWSBI ECO Purple and number three is the Lamy Safari Dark Lillac.
The purple decimo is at the top of my want to buy list.
I love my Platinum 3776 Nice Lavende. I've got the Decimo on my wishlist 💜
Thanks for the video,Drew!
I've had a Crow Black Diplomat Magnum for a few months. I was genuinely surprised how much I enjoyed using it. I picked up a second one in the pulchritudinous Prismatic Purple which,as I understand it is a Goulet Exclusive(?) The color-designation on the box says"John Doe".

Do a video on Yellow fountain pens!!! ❤ thank you for this
My all time favorite is Leonardo Officina Italiana Momento Zero in Prugna. I collect purple fountain pens and am totally in love with them❤
I still want the Prugna with the rose gold trim even though I own a ton of Leonardos already. They’re too good at making pretty pens.
I agree! I love my LMZ Prugna, both to stare at and to write with! Hands down the most comfortable grip section I've ever used. Excellent pen.
@@wendywander7 such a pleasant writing experience!
Pure poetry! Perhaps purple prose? 😂💜
That color 3776 is so gorgeous. I have it and 5 other 3776’s, all Broad. Yes, I love that pen. 😂
Purple is my favorite color! I already own the purple leopard metropolitan, the lamy black purple, and the diplomat prismatic purple, lol. I also love glowy things so I have the TWSBI purple glo too, haha. The translucent purple TWSBI is on my list.
I prefer the deeper blue-violets or blue-purple shades, but the lavender Decimo and 3776 Nice Lavande are still very pretty potentials. Maybe if I win the lottery, haha.

Perfect perusal of the pulchritude of purple pens, Drew! 💜
Yeah! Purple!
I own 6 of the 8, if that says anything! I do like the TWSBI AL Mini in Grape and a huge fav is the Kilk Celestial Purple, among some others. The "Black Purple" isn't really either to me--I think of it as more of a burgundy.
THANKYOUSOMUCH!!! My mom is a huge purple pal! I recently got her into fountain pens and she got an al star and a metro already but now I’m out of ideas lol
PERFECT!
Got the TWSBI Eco in purple! i want that purple decimo!!!
I love my TWSBI Diamond Mini AL Grape filled with Diamine Manggis... Great video.
I would really love a "Top 5 PINK fountain pens"!!!!!!
I wish they had a full-sized version of the TWSBI AL Mini in grape.
I’ve wanted a purple pen for so long, I’m just waiting for a good one to come out and then I’ll probably get like 5 of it lol
Love my purple glow TWSBI 🥰
That intro: stand, applaud!
LOL I just ordered a Diplomat Traveller in Petrol from you because yeah purple I love my amethyst Kaweco double broad whick fits the rich yet translucent slot. If that Metropolitan didn't have the leopard on it, I'd have one.
I recently got a Montblanc Jimi Hendrix 146 pen with purple feed idk if that counts 😂
I so want an Estie Lilac. 😩
Purple leopard! The best color.
TWSBI needs to do more translucent colors. I own the purple one. It’s great. Thank you Drew🟣
If we can allow not entirely purple, I've been wanting the Benu Love Story for a while, as a purple enthusiast. And it's got glowing purple! How can you not Love that... Story (writer)?
Drew definitely demonstrated a proper proficiency at perfect pronunciation!
Hahahaaaa thank you! - Drew
I own all of them ❤
Pretty pleasant purple pen palooza pontification
Beautiful! - Drew
Drew - you need to offer the Diplomat Aero in Violet.
We used to! - Drew
- Do you sale color TVs?
- Yes, of course!
- Give me a purple one, please.
Drew, isn't the Diplomat a Goulet exclusive color? One of my faves, then Metros!
Smoke on the Water pens? Well yes, yes I will.
What is the purple ink being shown with the Lamy AL-star?
