Design and Build

The Opus 88 Mini Lady Bug stands out with its transparent resin body that features a colorful ladybug design on the cap. The vibrant red and black dots create a playful and eye-catching look, making this pen not only functional but also fun to carry. The pen’s compact size (just 11.4 cm capped) and lightweight design (approximately 22 grams) make it the perfect tool for on-the-go writing, fitting easily into a pocket or small bag.

The silver clip and trim give the pen an added touch of sophistication, while the Opus 88 logo engraved on the barrel ensures that you are holding a high-quality, authentic writing instrument. The transparent nature of the resin barrel allows you to monitor the ink level, making it easy to see when it’s time to refill.

Filling Mechanism

True to the Opus 88 tradition, the Mini Lady Bug Fountain Pen utilizes an eyedropper filling system. This system is highly favored by fountain pen enthusiasts because it offers a large ink capacity of approximately 1.5 ml, allowing for extended writing sessions without frequent refills. The eyedropper system makes filling the pen a breeze, and the included glass eyedropper ensures a clean and easy transfer of ink from your ink bottle to the pen.

To further enhance its practicality, the pen is equipped with an ebonite ink shut-off valve. This innovative feature helps prevent ink leaks and allows you to control the ink flow, ensuring that the pen remains clean and ready for use when you need it most. Whether you're carrying it in your pocket, bag, or pen case, you can trust the Mini Lady Bug to keep your belongings safe from ink spills.

Nib and Writing Experience

The Opus 88 Mini Lady Bug comes with a #5 Jowo stainless steel nib, known for its smooth writing experience and durable construction. The nib is available in a range of sizes, including Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub 1.4mm, allowing you to select the perfect nib size for your writing style and preferences. Whether you're writing small, detailed text or broad, expressive strokes, the Jowo nib ensures smooth and consistent ink flow for a delightful writing experience.

The Mini Lady Bug provides a fluid writing experience, and its large ink capacity combined with the shut-off valve means you won’t have to worry about ink drying up during use, making it a reliable tool for both writing and sketching.

Measuring just 11.4 cm capped and weighing only 22 grams, the Opus 88 Mini Lady Bug is exceptionally portable. Its lightweight design makes it an ideal choice for everyday carry, and the compact size allows you to easily slip it into your pocket or bag. Despite its small form, the pen provides a comfortable grip, allowing for hours of effortless writing without strain.

The silver clip provides added convenience, enabling you to securely attach the pen to notebooks, pockets, or pen cases. Whether you’re writing on the go or at your desk, the Mini Lady Bug is designed to go wherever you do, without compromising on style or functionality.
