THE CHIC, PETITE PEN – THE CROSS® COMPACT – ARRIVES THIS FALL

Luscious lacquer adorns one of the latest fall introductions from CROSS – a new chic, petite pen - the CROSS Compact. The Compact makes a sophisticated statement in enticing colors, some reminiscent of dramatic lipstick shades such as magenta and violet, as well as black and satin chrome. The pen’s decorative satin chrome rings evoke a luxurious lipstick tube – just pack this gorgeous writing accessory and your favorite fall lip shade for a poised and polished presence.

Featuring full functionality in a convenient, smaller size, the CROSS Compact tucks comfortably into a purse, pocket, or padfolio (it pairs with all CROSS leather jotters and agendas, too). For your writing comfort, the pen extends a half-inch when the cap is on. The Compact is available in fountain pen (s.r.p.: $90) and ball-point pen (s.r.p.: $65).
