Our Philosophy

The AP Limited Editions is borne from years of passion for writing with fountain pens. The fascination for collecting pens began at the age of nine when I was growing up in India and learned fine penmanship. This was nurtured through time, by reading, using and learning about pen related ephemera. I spent my teenage years living and studying in England where I spent weekends exploring fountain pens at Burlington Arcade, Battersea, Covent Garden and Harrods. All my savings went towards a prized fountain pen helping me slowly build a small collection of pens that were absolutely intriguing for me. My pens were not just a part of a collection to view – I thoroughly enjoyed putting the fine nibs to paper. I used to dream of how I would launch a line of pens that would be everything I desired to own.

I found my home and heart in the United States and the opportunity of realizing my dream. Becoming a part of the collector fraternity in America further enhanced my knowledge of pens. Visits to various pen shows and meeting with other collectors, drove my inspiration towards conviction to launch The AP Limited Editions.

Every introduction in The AP Limited Editions is for the discerning, for those who understand and appreciate quality and only desire the very best. My intent is to bring to you, a product that is not only unique and beautiful, but a true work of art to become an heirloom over time.

I see creativity as a dynamic spiral, moving upwards and onwards, driving passion to newer heights, and taking the best of the past to new horizons into the future. I seek new inspiration with each creation and hope you find that too.
