About the brand
In search of a better pen
Parker began in 1888 in Janesville, Wisconsin, in the USA, when George S. Parker, then 25, applied for his first fountain pen patent. He believed it was always possible to make a better pen.
In January 1954, after nine years of development, it launched the Jotter, a ballpoint pen that is still in production. Over its history, the brand has received two Royal Warrants from the British royal household.

I was very happy to see Araujo & Sobrinho reopened, with materials of great quality. Walking into the shop again brought back many memories of my student days. It is a landmark and deserves to carry on this fine tradition.

On Largo de São Domingos, Araujo & Sobrinho is still a magical world. The old cabinets, the papers and canvases, and the same warm welcome as always take us back to times gone by. It is a house that keeps the memory of the city of Porto.
