Coffee & Nib-bles / Re: I'm a 90s girl...what about you?

« on: July 15, 2014, 03:00:13 AM »

I'm a 90s girl in the sense that I was born during that decade (1992)
I don't know but lately I've been nostalgic about the 90s.

eres, try deovir! i've only went to one of their stores once (in sm manila). they have a lot of art supplies and a few calligraphy stuff too

I visited them once for some nibs... I'm tempted to go back but I'm sure I'll be wanting everything in that store. It's so tempting.

It's totally an addiction! Having an elusive calligraphy shop in the Philippines is both a blessing and a downfall. If the country has a complete calligraphy store, I would go nuts and hoard. In the meantime I just have to wait for pre-orders.

Hello! I'm from the Philippines and I have an aunt working in Singapore
Do you know any calligraphy store around singapore that sells Nikko G and Hiro 41 nibs? I'm planning to have my aunt buy it there because they're elusive here.

Welcome by the way !

Hi! Have you tried ordering online from LaBella in the Philippines? They seem to have a good stock of supplies. Calligraphy supplies are rather limited and pricey in Singapore. You can get the Nikko G nibs at Popular. Other nibs (limited range) are available at Straits Arts.

Hey! I finally ordered one in La Bella.

They just opened for pre-orders and I'm excited to get my nibs! Thank you
