Pelikan Souveran

Exclusive design, selected materials, precise elaboration and highest writing comfort: The Souverän® fine writing instruments stands for permanent quality.

1950 was the year of birth of our model 400. Even today, this classic with a black-and-green pinstripe sleeve is still considered a symbol of the Pelikan brand worldwide. In the 1980s, the series was given the name "Souverän®", meaning sovereign in German. However, people often refer to it by its colloquial name "Stresemann" after the striped suits worn by the Germany Foreign Minister of the name in the 1920s.

This name continues to write history today, and will do so in the future too. Today, this fountain pen exists in many variations and, despite the continual refinements of the design and technology, its fundamental mechanics remain the same. In these pens, you can witness the combination of expertise and craftsmanship in one fascinatingly smooth writing experience - prestige for highly varied demands and preferences.

Collections

  • Bottled Fountain Pen Ink

    Choose bottled fountain pen ink if you want the widest color selection and a more refillable writing experience. Bottled ink works with compatible fountain pens using a converter, piston filling system, or other bottle-fill mechanism.

  • Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges

    Choose ink cartridges if you want a simple, convenient refill option with less setup and easier travel. Cartridges are a good choice for everyday writing, school, work, and anyone who wants a faster refill process.

  • Flushing your fountain pen regularly—

    especially when changing ink colors, every six weeks, or before storing the pen—is essential to prevent ink residue buildup, muddy color mixing, and clogged feeds that can lead to scratchy or inconsistent writing.
