Peacock pens

Throughout my years of study and my years in business, I have always been a enthusiast of the use of a fountain pen. In 2020, the idea arose to make fountain pens my hobby. That’s how the ‘pennen2020’ – ‘let’s call it’ business started. I certainly don’t call myself an expert, but by trying things out I have learned a lot. My initial focus was to buy ‘a lot’ of pens to really experience the difference between them. A that time I wrote some reviews to share online. These reviews are my personal thoughts about a pen, so it could be that users have different experiences with pens, but that just makes it interesting.

In 2023 I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t think the name ‘pennen2020’ is very appropriate anymore. I don’t like the ‘2020’ in it, because it reaches further. Also I want to give it a more personal touch with a link to my family name. My family name is ‘De Pauw’, so this translated means ‘The Peackock’. And to make a long story short, I think it is now clear why I chose ‘peacockpens.com’. It will take some time getting used to it, but we are fully committed.

At the end of 2023, I came to the realization that collecting fountain pens suddenly no longer gave me that ultimate satisfaction. What’s the point of collecting expensive pens in various shapes and colors? In addition to simply admiring them, they are quickly put away. However, I discovered that by using the fountain pen to sketch and adding a creative aspect, the fountain pen suddenly gave me so much joy and pleasure.

In 2024 I will take you on my creative journey even if it is only to show that everyone is able to make nice sketches and dust off the fountain pen and use them in a creative way, be it to draw, write, doodle or whatever.

In case you have any questions or remarks, feel free to send me a message.

Happy reading,
