From Tradition to Innovation: The Galen & Nahvalur Journey
Beginning in 2012, Galen began as a family-owned business in Turkey, producing fine leather goods & writing accessories for the fountain pen world. Their name—Galen—comes from the philosopher Claudius Galenus, born in modern-day Bergama, an area of Turkey renowned for its leather craftsmanship. What started as a small business has thrived, and Galen is now a premier name for all forms of accessories in the fountain pen world. Nahvalur's story with Galen began in 2019, at the Washington D.C. Pen Show, our very first. This chance meeting sparked the beginning of an incredible partnership, and in 2021, we released a co-branded Nahvalur Original fountain pen, another first for the company.
A Collaboration Rooted in Passion
Both companies come from roots of passion, the deep love of fountain pen enthusiasts pouring their hearts into products for the world to enjoy. For the release of four new colors in our Original Plus line, Nahvalur approached Galen to craft unique, handmade leather cases suited for each of the individual styles.
This is about how
Nahvalur is.
