Original Leonardo fountain pen with a gold nib "Momento zero Pura vida"

Pura Vida is the new iconic pen from the “Momento Zero” collection. A kaleidoscope of colors inspired by Costa Rica, the lush rainforests, the turquoise Caribbean Sea, volcanic browns, and roasted coffee beans.

The meaning of Pura Vida is “pure life” and it has come to symbolize the simple, joyful outlook and lifestyle of Costa Rica. It’s a term that allows people to say “hello,” “goodbye,” and let others know that everything is fine.

Pura Vida is more than just “pure life” in literal translation. Pura Vida is a lifestyle, a feeling, a perspective describing how people cherish the simplest pleasures of life and find joy in the smallest things. Just like the Pura Vida philosophy, you find pleasure in small things, writing your story and enjoying a pen gliding across paper.
