Romantic, Floral Styles for Spring:
The Century® II Botanica Pen by Cross®

Spring fashion is in bloom with flower patch patterns and palettes reaching from the runways to the racks of chic boutiques. Step out in perennial style with the beauty of blossoms at your fingertips. The new Century II Botanica pen from CROSS is the prettiest pen to own this spring, a fresh and functional accessory for that pastel-colored purse you’ll be toting from work to weekend getaways.

A breezy botanical sketch adorns this pen, with flowers that are exuberant and yet whimsical, inspired by Victorian woodblock prints. The mix of luscious petals, meandering leaves and delightful blooms wraps this pen in a stylish pattern evocative of spring’s romantic looks. This multi-hued pen is an on-trend companion to the season’s flouncy fashions, silk organza dresses that twist and glide around the body with pastoral floral designs. The Botanica pen will add a modern expression of style to everyday needs – an essential tool that will make you dream of garden parties each time you write a check, a note to the babysitter, or a letter to your love.

Available in three colors (marigold, bluebell, and rose), the Century II Botanica ball-point pen will debut in March, just in time for spring wardrobe shopping and flower show hopping (suggested retail price $65). The Botanica pen will be yours to cherish season after season with the CROSS lifetime guarantee, extended to every writing instrument. CROSS will also introduce Botanica pattern notebooks that are wire-bound and fitted with dividers and pockets. This notebook comes in three sizes -- small, medium, and large -- with suggested retail prices between $8 and $12. The Century II Botanica pen and notebook may be purchased at CROSS stores, online, and at select retailers throughout the United States.
