J. Herbin

Herbin 1670 Shimmer Ink, Violet Imperial

Regular price $35.00
The 1670 Anniversary Collection celebrates the life of the 17th-century French adventurer, Jacques Herbin. Sailing from India, Monsieur Herbin arrived home to Paris with formulas for the now-famous Herbin inks and sealing waxes. Enhanced with a luxurious, golden metallic sheen, these highly saturated inks will add an elegant luster to all your writing. 

Violet Imperial is the newest color in the 1670 Anniversary collection with bluish reflections and a thousand sparkling shimmers. Because of the scarcity of dyes, this color is a symbol of luxury but also of mystery used by the Emperor and his family under the Roman Empire and then by the various royalties.

King Louis XIV, under whom Jacques Herbin was founded, used it for his clothes during certain periods of his life.
