After the worldwide success of it's predecessor, the Preppy Wa Modern Maki-e returns with a new limited edition for 2025.
Lightweight, refined, and remarkably smooth, the Platinum Preppy WA Fountain Pen is a beloved introduction to the world of Japanese fountain pens. Designed with precision and approachability in mind, the Preppy WA (Wagara edition) combines reliable performance with six elegant decorative patterns inspired by traditional Japanese motifs.
Despite its accessible price point, this pen reflects Platinum’s century-long dedication to craftsmanship. The stainless-steel nib glides across the page with surprising smoothness, while the brand’s signature “Slip & Seal” cap mechanism prevents ink from drying out - even after months of non-use. It is a pen designed for daily notes, journaling, sketching, and thoughtful correspondence alike.
The WA edition elevates the classic transparent Preppy body with refined printed designs, blending modern utility with subtle Japanese aesthetics.
