It felt like yesterday when the TRAVELER’S COMPANY USA team is braving the muggy weather on East Coast’s late summer for the annual DC Fountain Pen Supershow! From August 4th – August 7th, 2022, TRC USA attended the prestigious show that brings together analog and pen lovers from around the country at Falls Church Virginia.
Our table is in the airy hallway that borders the main ballroom. In the four-day event, we encountered many TRAVELER’S notebook enthusiasts and new fans alike. If you stopped by our booth during the event, we hope you had an enjoyable time.
The DC Pen Show is a memorable event because we were pleasantly surprised by the crowd and excitement of visitors who are eager for in-person events again after a long pandemic-induced hiatus. We brought many new stamps for fans to collect in their TRAVELER’S notebook pages. The Limited Set 2022-themed stamps are particularly popular in the selection.
Are you curious about which items are our bestsellers at the event? We would like to share a brief report and ranking of TRC Items that TRAVELER’S notebook users are excited about.
Top 3 TRAVELER’S notebook refills
In December 2021, we launched two special TRC USA Limited Refills featuring California and Road Trip to embody the spirit of TRAVELER’S notebook in the US. Since we are based in Long Beach, the beautiful coast of California is a source of inspiration. It is also a popular refill among fans at the pen show! The 009 Repair Kit is a black horse, considering you can customize your TRAVELER’S notebook with fun colored elastic cords!
