This highly anticipated event is a highlight for the Filipino Fountain Pen Community, offering a space where pen lovers gather to celebrate their shared passion. From showcasing the latest in writing instruments to unveiling innovative accessories, MPS has become a place where creativity and craftsmanship collide. It’s a celebration of all things fountain pens, where attendees can explore new trends, connect with fellow collectors and friends, and experience the artistry that goes into designing these beautiful tools.
This year, the Manila Pen Show promises to be even more magical, with fresh designs, surprises, and exclusives that will delight both long-time collectors and new attendees. As always, MPS is the ultimate destination to indulge in your passion for fine writing instruments.
Gav & Sav’s: Masters of Craftsmanship
At Gav & Sav’s, we’re thrilled to return to Manila Pen Show 2025 with our exclusive, handcrafted pen wraps, continuing our tradition of presenting unique, limited-edition creations. For the past Manila Pen Shows, we’ve had the honor of unveiling stunning, one-of-a-kind designs, each showcasing the finest craftsmanship and attention to detail. These exclusive pen wraps are not just accessories; they are works of art in their own right. Whether you’re a fountain pen enthusiast or someone looking for a special gift, our wraps are crafted to be the perfect blend of functionality and beauty.
Every year, our goal is to raise the bar. We introduce designs that are not only stylish but also reflective of our commitment to sustainable, artisanal craftsmanship. Our loyal following is a testament to the quality of our products, and we’re excited to share what’s new for MPS 2025.
A Tradition of Excellence
At Gav & Sav’s, our commitment to craftsmanship has always been at the core of what we do. From the very beginning, we’ve strived to create products that stand out for their quality and uniqueness. Our MPS exclusive pen wraps are carefully crafted, each one made by hand to ensure no two are alike. We take great pride in the fact that our wraps are not mass-produced. Instead, every detail is thoughtfully considered—from the fabric combinations to the custom MPS logo colors, to the small touches that make each of our pen wrap feel personal and special. This dedication to quality has earned us a loyal customer base who appreciate the artistry and care that goes into each creation.
Evolution of Design
Over the years, our MPS-exclusive pen wrap designs have grown and evolved, each iteration shaped by creativity, craftsmanship, and the incredible support of the Manila Pen Show and the Filipino Fountain Pen Community. This year marks our fourth anniversary of designing something truly special, and the journey has been nothing short of inspiring. With every new release, we strive to blend functionality, and style.
Our first MPS-exclusive wrap in 2019 featured a double-layered design with elegant silver and gold MPS logos. In 2023, we introduced the “suman” pen wraps, blending the MPS logos with the fabric colors, and added our own logo for the first time. The compact and practical “suman pen wraps,” which holds five regular-sized fountain pens, quickly became a favorite.
Last year, we raised the bar by offering personalized touches, including custom initials stitching for early bird orders for our “Buslo Para sa Pluma” Bag Hang Pen Wrap. We also planned to introduce another new design but we couldn’t quite complete in time for the show. But don’t worry—this year, that design will make its grand debut, along with a possible surprise new pen wrap if we can gather all the necessary materials in time.
Gav & Sav x Manila Pen Show 2025: Unveiling the “Manananggal” Inspiration
For MPS 2025, we’re drawing inspiration from the mystic and magical theme, and weave the elements of folklore and mystery into our latest design. Inspired by the supernatural, we’re thrilled to introduce our latest Manila Pen Show exclusive pen wrap creation—aptly named Manananggal. This design pays homage to Filipino folklore and storytelling, making it a perfect addition to this year’s theme.
Will it surprise you? We’d like to think so! With its blend of mystery, folklore, and artistry, the Manananggal pen wrap is designed to captivate and intrigue. What started as an idea has gone through multiple iterations, each adjustment bringing us closer to a design that truly captures our vision. Every detail from its concept to its final form, and every part has been carefully thought of. As we reveal more, we hope you’ll be just as excited as we are to see how this design comes to life. Stay tuned—there’s more to unfold!
However, if this year’s MPS exclusive Pen Wrap doesn’t get completed in time, we will unveil last year’s unreleased design. In its own unique way, it still perfectly aligns with the idea of the “manananggal” with its part being removable, much like last year’s bag hang.
As always, we strive to deliver something that reflects our passion for creating beautiful, functional, and unique items. Whether it’s the Manananggal Wrap or the previously unreleased pen wrap, we can’t wait to share our latest creations with you at MPS 2025.
Don’t miss out on the fun and magic of the Manila Pen Show 2025—where tradition, innovation, and creativity converge in the world of fountain pens!
