Review GILLIO fountain pen Lineo - by our customer Maria Spinola I am a fan of nice writing instruments. Therefore I was looking at the GILLIO site for a sleek and elegant fountain pen. I did not have to look very long. I saw the Lineo and this seems to be the type of pen that I am looking for. It looks slim and elegant and it will go with all my planners and traveler’s notebook. So after I placed the order, I received the pen very fast (I think 2 days). ... Read more

Gillio Amica Review (by Jill Yamada-Murota) This is a review of the medium sized Gillio Amica in dark brown. Why did I choose the Amica? There were three main reasons for choosing this binder.

Third, the Amica is a beautiful binder and brightens up my day whenever I look at it. Why do I love this binder so much? Could it be the dark, decadent, chocolate color ... Read more
