Parker Serves as the Reference for Fine Writing and Offers a Pen for Every Lifestyle

New York (April 2011)– Taking inspiration from the latest runway presentations, Parker Pens introduces the new Sonnet Feminine collection accented with touches of alluring and on trend rose gold. This exclusive premium range of writing instruments is both feminine and modern, specifically designed for today’s trendsetting woman.

New for Spring/Summer 2011, Parker Pen’s latest releases have reinterpreted the brand’s signature in three new styles to produce a stunning collection of pens. Using a luxurious palette of metallic rose gold tones and a physical vapor deposition to reveal the underlying texture, Parker sets a new standard for pen aesthetics while keeping up with the latest trends. These dazzling pens are as unique as the women who use them, and are the ultimate lifestyle accessory; modern, beautiful and on-trend.

All three new Parker Pen styles are subtly dressed with a vertical finishing and coated in warm rose gold to easily fit with every wardrobe. The gleaming Sonnet Rose Gold is trimmed with a blush gold finishing, the beautiful Sonnet Pearl has a sparkling iridescent lacquer, and the finely crafted Sonnet Metal and Pearl’s textured ciselé alludes to the stunning facets of a flawless diamond.

This collection is available in four modes: rollerball, ballpoint, and the exquisitely detailed fountain pen which is enhanced with an 18k precious gold nib. All have a refined individual identity, but keep Parker Pen’s quality and impeccable style to deliver the ultimate writing experience.
