Montegrappa, the Italian luxury brand synonymous with the world’s finest writing implements has let’s say, ‘Blingged’ up their highly successful Fortuna range with the introduction of the Ca$h pen.

The highly popular Fortuna range consists of fountain pens, roller-balls and ballpoints and lends itself perfectly to personal expression and customisation in multiple ways. The Montegrappa designers have decided this time to take the Fortuna and customise it into a collection that is sure to please those that enjoy the ‘Bling-Bling’ culture.

Embracing the devil-may-care, if-you’ve-got-it-flaunt-it excess of a world dancing to a hip-hop soundtrack, the Ca$h Pen is a showy as a stretched limousine – only pocket-sized. Underneath the glitz is a fabulous writing instrument perfect for signing cheques and hotel bills!

The Montegrappa Ca$h is based on the black resin version of the Fortuna and features a cap and barrel adorned with rised dollar signs. The clip, which is fitted with Montegrappa’s roller to facilitate smooth removal from one’s pocket, features the $-sign and cap top set with the bling-bling-iest of stones.

Three trim colours are offered to accent the black barrel and cap: palladium, rose gold and all-black ruthenium. For the palladium and the rose gold versions, clear crystals are fitted, while the ruthenium edition features black crystals – reminiscent of the blacked-out windows in a limo. The Ca$h Pen is available as a fountain pen with a choice of three nib writing grades, a rollerball and a twist-action ballpoint. Even the packaging speaks of excess: a box that looks like a stack of $100 bills!

With the introduction of Ca$h, Montegrappa has opened endless ways for you to show off Ca$h in you hands – if you are that way inclined!
