TWSBI ECO Offers Great Quality and Value in a Piston-Fill
The TWSBI ECO fountain pen is different from many fountain pens because it fills with a piston-fill mechanism instead of cartridges. Simply unscrew the end cap, dip into ink, twist the end cap, and the barrel of your pen is filled with ink, ready to write.
Ideal for beginners and experienced fountain pen users alike, the TWSBI ECO is a pen that feels expensive while keeping a lower-end price point.

TWSBI's name stands for the phrase "Hall of Three Cultures" or "San Wen Tong" in Chinese. The character "Wen" translates into language and culture. The phrase "San Wen Tong" also brings to mind the Hall of the Three Rare Treasures created by Emperor Qianlong as a memorial to three great masterpieces of Chinese calligraphy. The initials of the phrase "San Wen Tong" was reversed and thus turned into "TWS". The last letters "Bi" was added with its literal meaning of "writing instruments". Thus combining the two segments, creating TWSBI.
TWSBI aims to create the highest quality and precision writing instruments, with a goal to inspire and recapture the romanticism of art and literature, starting with the pen.
