With their classy blue and ochre colourways, and stylish riffs on the humble pencil, these Pigeons are utterly gorgeous. Choose this pack and you’ll be itching to sharpen your actual pencil. We recommend a 2B. You’re allowed to use a pen if you prefer. (Of course you are; we’re not control freaks!) But just make sure you enjoy the physical pleasure of real writing on real paper.

6 Pigeons per pack – each one a different design.

Pigeon creator John Morse-Brown fell out of love with social media. He came to realise that most, if not all, of his online interactions lacked a genuine sense of connection. What was needed, he decided, was a way of making letter writing fun, new, beautiful, and easy. As a graphic designer with a mechanical engineering degree, this looked like a fun problem to solve… and Pigeon is the result!
