Our History

Goodbye Boutique, Hello Online.

For nearly three decades, Elephant & Coral has been a sanctuary for lovers of exquisite craftsmanship, self-expression, and artistry.

Though our boutique has closed its doors, our story continues. Elephant & Coral is now curating timeless pieces exclusively online.

Specialising in the secondary-market trading of premium Japanese maki-e pens—including Namiki, Pilot, Dunhill-Namiki, and Sailor, we also offer a discerning selection of:

  • Limited-edition fine writing instruments,
  • Rare whiskies, and
  • Certified art prints.
  • Whether you’re a longtime collector or just beginning your journey, we invite you to discover future heirlooms—where every piece tells a story.

    Our History

    Established in 1996 in Singapore, Elephant & Coral is a renowned luxury brand synonymous with unique lifestyle products, ranging from luxury pens, fine stationery, and desk accessories, to collectibles like rare prints, artworks and liquors.

    Guided by our philosophy of providing professional, personalised service, we designed our boutique to be an iconic destination for discerning customers from Singapore and around the world.

    Over the years, we expanded beyond luxury pens and desk accessories to offer bespoke stationery crafted on Crane & Co.’s fine cotton fibre-derived papers. Our services include pen assessments (for individual items or entire collections) and sourcing rare writing instruments to enhance our clients’ collections.

    Celebrating the Written Word

    At Elephant & Coral, we celebrate the written word. Since our inception, we have upheld the Pen-Book Exchange, gifting a pen for an author’s book, no questions asked. This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting writers and the art of storytelling.

    We are proud supporters of the Singapore Writers Festival (SWF), contributing to Singapore’s vibrant literary community and fostering a love for literature. We have also hosted events like the 150th anniversary of Tan Kah Kee, honouring the legacy of the visionary philanthropist and educator. These efforts align with our mission to promote generosity, education, and cultural enrichment.

    All Initiatives Have Ended

    We have discontinued our cherished Pen-Book Exchange and the hosted events as we focus our services online.
