Unboxing the AJOTO Rollerball pens in Laywine's Collaboration Brass and a Stainless Steel. This is the pen you might have seen in the AJOTO Event post I shared recently.

AJOTO Event at Laywine's in Toronto

Laywine's is a gorgeous stationery shop located on Bellair Street in Toronto, Ontario. I've posted a Field Trip before, though I suppose an updated one is overdue! On Sunday, March 31, 2019,  the founder and creative director of AJOTO, Chris Holden, came to visit the store. Chris talked about setting up a new pen company in the digital world, showed us prototypes, limited editions, and special pens! It was really interesting to feel and explore the different materials and I was able to test the pens out, and see how they have evolved! The entire evening was ended with a fantastic dinner at The Host with the best naan ever.

Thank you kindly to Chris and Peter for organizing this fun event, and my good friends for joining me.

The cutest of details.

Chris's notebook is a gem.

The sterling silver is delicious.

The AJOTO x Laywine's collaboration is brass with a stainless steel mechanism.
