19054 VMail North African Violet

The violet shade dries to a rich, true purple that looks stunning on cream paper, and the water resistance is a huge plus for someone who mails letters. I've been using it daily for weeks and the 3 oz bottle still feels nearly full, which is great value for the price.

That 3 oz bottle is genuinely generous — I've been writing daily letters for weeks and haven't even made a dent. The violet shade stays rich and readable even after a quick water spill on the page, which is exactly what I needed.

Fills a whole pen easily from the 3 oz bottle, and the water-resistant claim actually held up when I spilled coffee on a letter. The violet leans a bit more muted than I'd like on plain paper, but it's still a lovely everyday shade.
