Question 1

What pens are in Clare Coco’s Currently Inked July 2024 lineup?

Accepted Answer

I inked up 13 pens for July 2024 and showed them in order on my tray. The lineup includes Red Dragon Pen Co. Brian Chu, Shibui North Purple Dragon, Benu Euphoria Earl Grey Tea, two Leonardos (Bella di Notte and Sugar Rush), a Pilot Custom 823 clear demo, two Scribos, a Montblanc Heritage Collection 1912, a Palisades Aurora Night, and two Pelikans (M800 Concerto and M1000 White Ray). It’s a real mix of playful, luxe, and “serious writing” energy.

Question 2

Which Leonardo pens are featured in this Currently Inked video?

Accepted Answer

I featured the Leonardo Momento Magico Bella di Notte (a Goldspot exclusive) and the Leonardo MZG 2.0 DPS 2024 Sugar Rush (from Appelboom). If you know me, you know Leonardo is a recurring character in my pen life. They’re both the kind of pens that make journaling feel like an event.

Question 3

Does the video include writing samples for the July 2024 pens?

Accepted Answer

Yes—after I go through the full tray, I do writing samples at the end. I want you to see how the pens are actually putting ink down right now, not just how pretty they look on a tray. It’s the most useful part if you’re comparing how different pens feel on paper.

Question 4

Where can I buy the Benu Euphoria Earl Grey Tea Goulet exclusive?

Accepted Answer

That pen is the Benu Euphoria Earl Grey Tea, and it’s a Goulet Pen exclusive. In my lineup it’s one of those “fun but still totally usable” pens that brightens up a journaling session. If you’re hunting it, you’ll want to check Goulet specifically because it’s their exclusive.

Question 5

What is the Pilot Custom 823 clear demo and why is it popular for journaling?

Accepted Answer

In this video I’m using the Pilot Custom 823 in the clear demonstrator version, and mine is from Pen Realm. The 823 is popular because it’s a workhorse—when you want a pen that just writes and lets you stay in the journaling flow, it delivers. And as a demo, it’s extra satisfying because you can see everything going on inside.

Question 6

Which vendors does Clare Coco recommend for fountain pens and supplies?

Accepted Answer

I linked a bunch of my favorite vendors in the description, including Goldspot, Appelboom, Pen Realm, Vanness, Truphae, and Bertram’s Inkwell. These are shops I point people to when they’re looking for good selection and solid service. I also included a Goldspot code (COCO) for 10% off with the brand exclusions listed in the description.

Question 7

What Pelikan pens are in Clare Coco’s July 2024 currently inked?

Accepted Answer

I’ve got two Pelikans in this rotation: the Pelikan M800 Concerto (from Missing Pens) and the Pelikan M1000 White Ray (from Bertram’s Inkwell). They’re the kind of pens that feel like the “grown-up dessert course” of the tray. If you like big, satisfying writers, these are absolutely in that lane.
