SAFARI STYLE WITH NEW SAUVAGE PEN FROM CROSS®

This spring CROSS unveils an entirely new pen silhouette designed expressly for women. The Sauvage is the very first Cross pen in its more than 160 year history that was developed and engineered purely to suit a woman’s preference for the style, balance, and shape of a writing instrument. More than a year in the making, Sauvage features a curvaceous silhouette that echoes the form of a pencil skirt, a design embraced throughout the decades, always defining a look that’s smart, sexy, sensuous. Sauvage interprets the beauty of a classic fashion form, but presents it in the context of today’s style influences. The deep engraving of these pens entices with exotic animal prints, while the hand-polished, jewelry-like lacquer finish invites with an ethereal quality.

The centerpiece of the collection is a pen with a striking giraffe pattern engraved in brown tourmaline colored lacquer. The pattern extends from tip to end of this simply gorgeous pen (ballpoint s.r.p. $90, Selectip rolling ball pen s.r.p. $110, fountain pen s.r.p. $160).

Of equal beauty are three pens that possess stylishly engraved caps accented by lacquer bodies. A zebra pattern complements an onyx shade of lacquer. A python patterned cap pairs with either an ivory toned lacquer or moonstone colored lacquer. These distinctive pens explore the wondrous designs found in nature that are both current yet recurring in their timeless appeal. The new Sauvage pens, each with a pen pouch, are available in three writing technologies: ballpoint (s.r.p. $80), rolling ball pen (s.r.p. $100), and fountain pen with 18KT solid gold nib with rhodium plate (s.r.p. $150). The rolling ball and fountain pens have an elegant twist off cap.

The Sauvage pen is available at CROSS locations, on its website www.cross.com, and through select retailers beginning in March. CROSS, headquartered in Lincoln, Rhode Island, is the world-renowned maker of fine writing instruments, leather accessories, timepieces, eyewear, business bags and executive gifts.
