{"product_id":"opus-88-mini-pocket-fountain-pen-stripe","title":"Opus 88 Mini Pocket Fountain Pen — Stripe","description":"\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Pop of Color, Pocket-Sized\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Opus 88 Mini Pocket Stripe pairs a cool, translucent blue acrylic body with a cap that breaks into a playful mosaic of color — blues, purples, and teals arranged in an irregular, pixel-like pattern that catches the eye without overwhelming it. It’s a small pen with real character, built for anyone who wants their everyday carry to feel a little less ordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Construction\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Mini Pocket’s proportions are built for portability first: capped, the pen measures approximately 117 mm (4.7\"); uncapped, approximately 107 mm (4.3\"); and posted, approximately 140 mm (5.5\"). Grip diameter is approximately 11 mm, body diameter approximately 15 mm, and weight approximately 24–26 g — small enough to disappear into a pocket or pencil case, while still comfortable to write with. A polished chrome clip completes the design, and the screw-on cap can be posted for a longer writing length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pen ships in an Opus 88 gift box with a glass eyedropper pipette included for filling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEyedropper Filling System \u0026amp; Shut-Off Valve\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDespite its compact size, the Stripe holds a generous volume of ink through a Japanese-style eyedropper system with an integrated shut-off valve, using the full barrel as a reservoir — approximately 1.5 ml of capacity. To fill, unscrew the grip section, use the included glass eyedropper to draw ink, and deposit it into the barrel — leaving a little room for air pressure helps prevent leaks. Before writing, unscrew the blind cap at the end of the barrel to release the internal shut-off mechanism and allow ink to flow to the nib; retighten it before travel to seal the ink chamber, reassuring for a pen that’s likely to live in a bag or a pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNib Options\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe Stripe is fitted with a #5 JoWo stainless steel nib, available in:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtra Fine (EF)\u003c\/strong\u003e — a precise, controlled line for small handwriting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine (F)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most versatile everyday width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium (M)\u003c\/strong\u003e — broader and wetter, good for shading inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad (B)\u003c\/strong\u003e — a bold, generous line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.4 mm Stub\u003c\/strong\u003e — an italic-style grind adding crisp line variation to every stroke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eManufacturer Warranty\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eOpus 88 fountain pens are backed by the manufacturer’s warranty against defects.
