Appelboom Bites #19: Stephen Brown explains why BENU is such an amazing brand

[@marilyngardner4269]

What a pleasure to hear from Kate and learn a bit more about what BENU aims to do with their entirely unique pens designs. Like so many, I am addicted to the brand and own more BENU pens than one person needs. I love the fact that each pen model has a story, and I enjoy the creativity and courage of their choices. Kate is an absolute delight.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for sharing your story and enjoy your Benu collection to the fullest!

[@davidottman9501]

Inspiring! Thank you all for taking the time and effort to create and post this interview. My humble fountain pen collection fits easily into one average-sized hand and does not yet include one by Benu, but it certainly will soon. At least two, one for myself and one as a special gift for a very special person. Gifts should be made with care, courage and passion. As for the prototype you showed, Kate, I'm sure it was plain black because it's a functional prototype, no need for that to have special colors. However, it's got amazing shape that doesn't need color, flat black looks amazing! It'll also look great in any bright scheme too but please keep black in mind... :)

[@AppelboomPennen]

We are happy to help you get your first Benu!

[@kapp8465]

I bought my first BENU in 2016, the Briolette Arabian nights. And since then many, many more BENU pens followed. I don't ever dare to count them, and more will follow given BENU keeps producing amazing pens...

It is dangerous to collect Benu pens… they are never ending

I fell in love with Benu once more, such a wonderful company. Yeah, guys, love you both too! 😍

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for all the love!

Several years ago I was watching an episode of Pawn Stars when a customer arrived with a tub full of original Match box cars still in the original packaging. The old man was as giddy as a 3rd grade boy and offered BIG $$ for the collection. In the future, I see the same reaction to anyone who has collected all of BENU's pens. Kate is an angel who brings so many colors and delights to the world around her. Big respect and ❤ for BENU pens!

[@AppelboomPennen]

Would love to see that episode where they find a box of Benu pens!!

[@lflines]

The hand painted samples are stunning. I've been wanting a Benu for some time, maybe now is the right time to add to my collectoin.

[@konradyearwood5845]

They really were works of art in the truest sense.

[@AppelboomPennen]

The best day to but a Benu is… today!

[@FaeSarah8]

The hand painted ones that you showed are certainly next level amazing to my Le Petit Prince. You make amazing pens, I'm a big fan and collector of your beautiful pens. Thank you for the joy they bring 💜 I look forward to more beautiful pens being released in the future. 😊

Seeing this late. Dear Joost..such a grand choice of guests...Stephen Bre Brown and Kate Dmitrieva. Benu is an amazing brand producing stellar writing instruments!

Thank you for watching! To avoid missing videos, we advice to subscribe to the channel;)

[@victorgyulnazaryan2265]

Wonderful video. Very interesting to see the face of Benu ) and finally there is at least one Armenian working in the industry - the hand painting artist that was mentioned. I am sire they are a great team together with the artist that came from Moscow. Best of luck to all kind people involved in this video!

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for watching and hopefully we will see many more fountain pens from Armenia in the future!

[@ImCFoxx]

Fabulous episode and has inspired me to love Benu even more. I love this fairytale hand-painted idea. What a great innovation. So much fun. I’m particularly in love with my Talisman. Thank you all.🦊💓

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for watching and for the support of the Benu brand!

[@williamcarter_CPA_CGMA]

Amazing interview with Kate from BENU. I have the Benu Skulls and Roses Fountain Pen in Smolder. Pens inspire emotions and stories and so much more. Thank you!

[@AppelboomPennen]

Congratulations with your Skulls and Roses, enjoy it!

[@fossilimprint2954]

Thank you for this wonderful discussion, I did not know about Benu until now.

[@AppelboomPennen]

We are happy to help you discover new brands!

[@sokosteve]

I haven't found a Benu that suits me yet, and I think that's great! It shows how unique they are, and I look forward to when that pen does pop up.

[@AppelboomPennen]

One day you will find yours!

[@peterhofmann8292]

Wonderful interview, congratulations. I cannot imagine what Benu has gone through in moving their whole operation from one country to another. Once again it was fun to watch Stephen completely mess up Joost's timeline.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Stephen makes a sport out of it!

Kate is amazing!

[@penarbor]

Benu has quickly found its niche in the market. This is really a hard thing to do in any industry. Even though I'm yet to find a Benu for my conservative self, I think there will be something that will eventually come up. The colors and patterns are really bright, unique and flashy but the pen designs themselves are quite pleasant and I like it. But I don't necessarily want them to cater to everyone, I want them to be themselves and make what they believe in and play to their strengths.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Thank you for sharing!

[@johnnyragadoo2414]

Benu earned a lot of respect with their move. Benu must have strength of character.

[@AppelboomPennen]

They definitely have! Great move
