Innovation begins when pen meets paper. Late-night notepad scribbles, half-baked thoughts sprawled across a lined page, newly enshrined agreements between friends and lovers—the pen is the creative mind’s most valuable tool. Visionary filmmaker Wes Anderson’s and luxury penmaker Montblanc’s limited edition collaboration, the Schreiberling 1969 Fountain Pen, is a pocket-sized, storytelling instrument, now available for purchase once again. 

The Schreiberling, which means “the scribbler,” is a tool designed with ease, comfort, and utility in mind. Taking inspiration from Montblanc’s archival writing tools from the 1910s and ‘20s, the Shreiberling’s design is classic and compact, a perfect fit for sudden flashes of inspiration. Montblanc and Anderson’s collaboration is an ode to the act of creation, however meandering the journey may be. 

Anderson and Montblanc’s partnership is itself rooted in a shared reverence for craft and storytelling. The Academy Award–winning filmmaker previously directed 100 Years of Meisterstück, a short film celebrating Montblanc’s most iconic pen, imprinting the brand’s legacy with his unmistakable visual language. That collaboration laid the groundwork for the Schreiberling—a natural extension of Anderson’s belief that creativity is born not from spectacle, but from patience, intention, and attention to detail. Like Montblanc, Anderson favors the enduring over the ephemeral.

That narrative extends beyond the pen itself. Packaged in a green tin box with a coral lining—reminiscent of the utilitarian toolboxes that populate Anderson’s cinematic worlds—the Schreiberling arrives with a notebook, ruler, and green ink cartridges, inviting its owner to begin immediately. It’s a reminder that creativity doesn’t start with perfection, but with the willingness to scribble, cross out, and begin again. So, turn a new page here.
