Once Upon a Design

Peer through an intricately carved wooden screen into the dreamy landscape of the fabled Shangri-La, inspired by the 1933 novel, Lost Horizon by James Hilton. Discover snow-capped Rocky Mountains that sit nestled amongst cherry blossoms and magnolias in full bloom. Blue jays and Anna’s hummingbirds flutter through the branches, from flower to flower. Magnificent orcas swim through misty clouds, and the cresting waves of the English Bay, with a view of the fabled Shangri-La in the distance.

Notable design details:

  • Flanked by two Foo dogs inspired by the Food dog statues located at Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver.
  • Cherry blossoms, Magnolia, Trilliums, and Pacific Dogwood weave through wooden screens inspired by the decor of the Shangri-La hotel. The flowers represent Ontario and British Columbia, with the provincial flowers and two of the most popular flowering trees!
  • The official city birds of Toronto and Vancouver, Blue Jay and Anna’s Hummingbird flutter from branch-to-branch across the box.
  • Iconic buildings from Vancouver and Toronto create the dreamy landscape of Shangri-La; the CN Tower, Toronto City Hall, Science World, Prince’s Gate, Lions Gate Bridge, Harbour Centre and respective Shangri-La Hotels.

A unique, fun ink

It certainly has that basic lay-down of a nice sepia similar to the feel of faded ink on documents. However, the added shimmer is noticeable in all but the most fine, parsimonious pens. The more ink flow, the better. The bottle does require a good bit of shaking every time it is used, even just minutes apart. Looks very interesting in a demonstrator. Have not had issues with clogging, though like many, more complicated inks, it may be a hard starter in a pen that has been left unused for a few weeks.

In LOVE with Shangri-La!!!

This is my 2nd bottle despite still having more than half of my 1st one! On top of being a fan of the hotel chain, I love love LOVE this ink! It captures both the elegance of the hotel and the mysterious allure of the mythical Land of Shangri-La. Darker than Writing Desk (one of my other favorite brown inks) with lovely shimmer, this ink has an old-world feel especially in writing correspondence on cream tone papers in a stub nib! And, it is dark enough to sneak to work to sign-off on documents! Buy it whenever you see this ink, you won't regret it! ;)
