Celebrate the spirit of exploration with J. Herbin 1670 Bleu Océan, a rich, deep blue ink infused with shimmering gold flecks. In the early 1700s, M. Herbin created the “Jewel of Inks” in his Paris shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain, establishing the Herbin name as the oldest in fine pen inks.
Part of the 1670 Anniversary Ink Collection, Bleu Océan draws inspiration from the adventurous sea voyages of Jacques Herbin, a 17th-century French sailor who brought formulas for inks and sealing wax from his travels back to Paris. This commemorative ink evokes the indigo-rich waters encountered on his journeys to the Mughal Empire of India, once a major source of precious indigo dye.
Crafted with all-natural dyes and a pH-neutral formula, Bleu Océan delivers a smooth, refined writing experience for fountain pens. Presented in a 15?mL glass bottle sealed with hand-dipped wax, this luxurious anniversary ink combines heritage, artistry, and Parisian craftsmanship in every drop. Bring the depth and shimmer of the high seas to your writing with J. Herbin 1670 Bleu Océan.
