It’s all about presentation here folks – even after being to La Swiss, Vancouver Pen Shop and Perks, Charals is the Holt Renfrew of men’s boys toys relating to fountain pens, wallets, cuff links, briefcases, etc. Not exactly an easy location to get to, as it’s located inside Sinclair Centre, plus you have to walk up the heavy marble stairs. Professional all the way, owner sure knows his stuff too. Explained how even some pens increase in value, like any other hobby. Mentioned how some $ 500 pens a few years ago are now collector’s items for $ 1500. Now makes me wonder if I should get the Mont Blanc John Lennon one for $ 750; comes with a miniature LP record too lol. Big store too.
