# Angelic Quill Writers Write 19th Century Style With the Maison Martin Margiela Feather Pen By Matt Ho | Published 2011-06-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-martin-margiela-feather-pen References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/maison-martin-margielas-feather-pen.html) & [maisonmartinmargiela](http://www.maisonmartinmargiela.com/) The Maison Martin Margiela Feather Pen brings quill pens back into fashion. There's no ink bottle involved with the Maison Martin Margiela Feather Pen. It's an updated version of the old writing utensil predominantly used from the sixth to the 19th century. The tip of the feather is now a pen, which some may scoff at since they want the real deal. Such naysayers should take comfort in knowing that the top part is made from [real ostrich and goose feather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/majestic-feathers); in a way, authenticity hasn't been lost. Besides, it's got the full look, so you'll still appear just as scholarly as a philosopher when you're writing with it. The Maison Martin Margiela Feather Pen was made in collaboration with Paris design house ENO. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Retro Writing Tools:** Companies can revive and modernize old writing tools for a new generation of users who seek nostalgia and authenticity. - **Collaborations with Design Houses:** Partnering with established design houses can bring fresh perspectives and new audiences to traditional industries such as writing tools. - **Sustainable Luxury:** Using real feathers in high-end writing tools can appeal to eco-conscious consumers who crave both luxury and ethical sourcing. ### Where This Applies - **Writing Tools and Supplies:** Manufacturers of writing tools can explore new collaborations and materials to appeal to modern consumers who seek vintage charm and sustainable luxury. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury brand companies can incorporate sustainability into their product offerings by using ethical materials and collaborating with design houses and artists to create unique and memorable products. - **Design and Fashion:** Designers and fashion houses can expand their product lines by collaborating with traditional industries such as writing tools to create unique and innovative products that appeal to their audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vintage Calligraphy Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meisterstck-great-masters-calligraphy.md) - [Ceremonious Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aestus-signature-pen.md) - [Elevated Ballpoint Pen Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paperlux-studio.md) - [Miniature Heritage-Inspired Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montblanc-baby-pens.md) - [Filmmaker-Approved Writing Utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/montblanc-x-wes-anderson.md) - [Limited-Edition Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onoto-christmas-carol-fountain-pen.md) - [Infinitely Refillable Writing Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/refillable-writing-pen.md) - [Ultra-Premium Ballpoint Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starwalker-blackcosmos.md) - [Digital Writing Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fuseproject.md)
