Jacques Herbin Bouton d’Or Ink 30 ml

BOUTON D’OR. A LITTLE SUNSHINE ON PAPER.

Some colours have an immediate ability to lift the
mood.

Bouton d’Or by Jacques Herbin is one of them.

This beautifully bright yellow writing ink takes
its inspiration from the golden petals of the
buttercup, a familiar flower found in meadows and
gardens.

Fresh, cheerful and full of warmth, Bouton d’Or
brings an unexpected touch of colour to the
written page.

Depending on the paper, nib and amount of ink
applied, the yellow can appear delicate and
translucent or more vibrant and saturated.

A distinctive choice for anyone who enjoys
exploring the expressive possibilities of writing
in colour.

A BUTTERCUP AND A CHILDHOOD GAME.

There is a charming story behind the name Bouton
d’Or.

In French, bouton d’or literally means “golden
button” and is also the name of the buttercup
flower.

The flower is associated with a traditional
childhood game.

A buttercup is held beneath someone's chin. If its
yellow petals reflect a golden glow onto the skin,
the person is said to like butter.

A playful little tradition involving light, colour
and a touch of imagination.

Jacques Herbin captures this cheerful association
in a particularly beautiful shade of yellow ink.

FRENCH WRITING HERITAGE SINCE 1670.

The story of Jacques Herbin began in Paris in
1670.

Originally specialising in sealing wax, the French
house later established a long tradition of
producing writing inks and accessories.

Bouton d’Or belongs to La Perle des Encres, the
brand's classic writing ink collection.

Its water-based, pH-neutral formula is carefully
filtered and designed for use with compatible
writing instruments.

Unlike the shimmering inks from Jacques Herbin's
anniversary collections, Bouton d’Or contains no
added glitter or metallic gold particles.

Its luminous appearance comes entirely from the
colour itself.

FOR CALLIGRAPHY, LETTERING AND CREATIVE IDEAS.

Bouton d’Or is particularly appealing for anyone
who enjoys decorative handwriting.

Its bright yellow shade adds a cheerful touch to
greeting cards, invitations, journals and creative
paper projects.

It is also a lovely choice for calligraphy and
lettering.

The ink can be used with compatible fountain pens,
refillable rollerball pens, glass dip pens,
traditional dip pens and suitable drawing nibs.

Broader nibs can help bring out the richness of
the yellow.

As a light-coloured ink, Bouton d’Or naturally
offers less contrast on white paper than darker
writing inks. It is especially attractive for
decorative lettering, headings and carefully
chosen colour accents.

A CLASSIC INK BOTTLE WITH A THOUGHTFUL DETAIL.

The traditional 30 ml Herbin glass bottle is
instantly recognisable.

Its low, square shape, characteristic label and
black screw cap reflect the timeless appeal of
classic writing accessories.

The clear glass beautifully reveals the sunny
yellow ink inside.

A small groove on the upper surface provides a
convenient resting place for a dip pen.

This practical detail reflects the long-standing
tradition of thoughtfully designed writing
accessories.

THE PLEASURE OF WRITING IN COLOUR.

Bouton d’Or brings a playful yet elegant touch to
handwriting.

Its sunny yellow shade invites creativity and
offers a refreshing alternative to conventional
writing colours.

Whether chosen for decorative correspondence,
calligraphy, journaling or as a thoughtful gift,
Bouton d’Or combines French writing heritage with
a cheerful and distinctive colour.
