Simone started The Vintage Nib after practicing calligraphy every single day for almost a year, so she could write her own wedding invitations. Writing strictly in cursive since the age of 6, she was intrigued by the oblique pen and all the intricate calligraphy styles done by pen masters from all over the world. What started as a DIY wedding project became her passion, and now she won’t go one day without writing something with a pointed pen.
