We are sad to announce that, as of January 2027, The Inked Paw will be closing down. Unfortunately the rising costs of paper and raw materials has made it no longer viable to continue. 

We've loved all of your support and enthusiasm, and we look forward to continuing to be involved in the fountain pen community - as just Tom & Al, rather than as The Inked Paw. (Tom will no doubt have another creative, stationery-related endeavour before long!) 

We will continue to do custom orders whilst our paper stock lasts - please email us at hello@theinkedpaw.co.uk to discuss.

Important: We will not be replenishing our stock so once it's gone, it's gone - if you place an order for ink samples, please be aware that you may end up with a partial refund if there isn't enough left in the bottle for a sample. We try to stay on top of stock availability, but with 300+ inks it's not easy!

Additionally, there will be a delay in fulfilment of orders placed between Monday 5 - Friday 16 October. We are at the London Pen Show (10-11 Oct) and have been busy working away to make stock for the show - and since we announced the closure we've been inundated with extra orders. Please be patient with us as we're doing this alongside our main jobs :)
