Fall in New England — Diamine Ink Specimen Gift Set | 5 × 5 mL

Falling leaves. Open books. A fresh page.

Autumn in New England brings more than changing leaves. It marks a return to books, classrooms, and the quiet pleasure of a writing desk. Curated by Boston Lore Studio, Fall in New England brings together five Diamine fountain pen inks inspired by the season's warm colors and Boston's academic and literary atmosphere.

The palette moves from golden brown and vivid orange through two rich reds to a deep scholarly blue. Each color has its own place: the landscape outside, the books within, and the words waiting to be written.

Five Colors for an Autumn Writing Desk

• Sepia: Warm ochre-brown recalling fallen oak leaves, aged paper, and a favorite book opened again.
• Pumpkin: A lively orange for pumpkins, sunlit maples, and the crisp energy of a New England afternoon.
• Oxblood: A deep red echoing crimson foliage and the rich covers of clothbound library volumes.
• Writer's Blood: A darker, plum-toned burgundy for handwritten drafts, thoughtful revisions, and late-night inspiration.
• Oxford Blue: A deep blue whose scholarly name brings university traditions to the palette, connecting Boston's reading rooms and campus life with the pleasure of writing by hand.

From the Archivist's Desk

We kept both Oxblood and Writer's Blood because autumn has room for more than one red: the crimson of turning leaves and the deeper burgundy of the season's shadows. Sepia and Pumpkin bring warmth and light, while Oxford Blue offers a cool counterpoint. Together, they make a collection for study, journaling, correspondence, and the first pages of a new idea.

Small Bottles, More Possibilities

Five 5 mL glass bottles offer 25 mL of ink in total. Enjoy more writing in each color without committing to five full-size bottles, keep several colors within reach on a small desk, or bring a favorite along in a securely packed travel writing kit.

All five are non-shimmer fountain pen inks, selected for everyday writing. Use them for lecture notes, reading reflections, letters, or a few quiet lines at the end of the day.
