Jacques Herbin Perle Noire Ink 30 ml
PERLE NOIRE. THE BLACK PEARL OF HERBIN.
Some classics never lose their appeal.
Perle Noire by Jacques Herbin is one of them.
A rich black writing ink that combines clarity,
elegance and the timeless beauty of handwriting.
Its French name translates as Black Pearl, a
reference to the exceptional value traditionally
associated with this particular ink.
According to the history of the house, Perle Noire
was the first ink developed by Herbin.
Its outstanding quality and precious character
inspired a name that has remained part of the
brand's heritage.
Perle Noire. A black pearl in the world of
writing.
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 fine writing inks and accessories.
Perle Noire holds a special place in this history.
As the first ink developed by Herbin, it
represents the beginnings of a writing tradition
that continues today.
The ink belongs to La Perle des Encres, the
brand's classic 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, Perle Noire contains no
added glitter or metallic particles.
Its character comes entirely from the depth and
simplicity of black ink.
BLACK. TIMELESS AND ALWAYS MODERN.
Black ink is more than a practical choice.
It brings clarity and character to the written
page.
On white paper, it creates a striking graphic
contrast. On cream-coloured stationery, it feels
elegant and understated.
Perle Noire is an attractive choice for personal
letters, handwritten notes, journals, greeting
cards and creative writing.
It is also suitable for calligraphy and lettering.
Depending on the nib and writing technique, the
ink can produce delicate lines, expressive
flourishes and beautifully defined lettering.
Perle Noire can be used with compatible fountain
pens, refillable rollerball pens, glass dip pens,
traditional dip pens and suitable drawing nibs.
A CLASSIC INK BOTTLE WITH A THOUGHTFUL DETAIL.
The traditional 30 ml Herbin glass bottle is
instantly recognisable.
Its low, square shape, black-and-white label and
black screw cap reflect the timeless appeal of
classic writing accessories.
A small groove on the upper surface provides a
convenient resting place for a dip pen.
This simple feature makes the bottle both
practical and attractive on a writing desk.
THE PLEASURE OF WRITING BY HAND.
A handwritten letter carries something that a
digital message cannot quite replace.
Time, attention and a personal touch.
Perle Noire brings a classic elegance to this
experience.
Its rich black colour complements fine fountain
pens, glass dip pens and traditional writing
instruments.
Whether chosen for everyday handwriting, personal
correspondence or as a thoughtful gift, this
historic ink combines French craftsmanship and
timeless style.
