Writers Edition - Victor Hugo

Montblanc’s Writers Edition is one of their most anticipated collections. Each year since 1992 Montblanc has released a line of writing instruments dedicated to memorable people whose literature has shaped today’s world. Montblanc’s Writers Edition collection has been crafted out of high-quality materials such as precious resin, lacquer, mother-of-pearl and many more.

Previous writers whom Montblanc has paid homage to are Leo Tolstoy, William Shakespeare, Rudyard Kipling, Jonathan Swift and many more. This year Montblanc is dedicating their Writers Edition to Victor Marie Hugo, French novelist whose literature shaped the French nation to what it is today. Hugo is best known for his work Les Misérables and Notre-Dame de Paris (The Hunchback of Notre-Dame).

The first set Montblanc Victor Hugo writing instruments have been inspired by the gothic arches of Notre-Dame, as seen in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. This first set of writing instruments have been crafted out of black precious resin. The platinum-coated clip has been shaped like the clapper bell, recalls the bell ringer Quasimodo and the bells of Notre-Dame.

The second instalment of the Victor Hugo line is the 1831 limited editions. Red lacquered barrel with a skeletonized platinum-coated metal overlay. Limited to 1,831 pieces each, this limited edition set is reminiscent of the year of Notre-Dame de Paris' publication year.

All Montblanc Writers Edition writing instruments are presented inside their own special presentation box that we can personalise with a plaque and special gift wrapping.

Alongside the writing instruments, Montblanc has created a range of accessories that pay homage to Victor Hugo.
