The Delta Everyone Forgot? | Dolcevita Soiree Undersized Fountain Pen Review

My stationery store: https://thepapermind.com The Paper Mind Tomoe River Twin Ring Notebook: https://thepapermind.com/products/tom... Today I'm reviewing a discontinued gem from the original Delta pen company — the Dolcevita Soiree Undersized Fountain Pen. Delta is one of the most iconic names in Italian pen making, and while the brand was re-established in 2022, this particular pen comes from the original era before Delta first closed its doors in 2017 — making it a piece you'll now only find on the secondary market. The Soiree is the understated sibling of the classic Dolcevita. Instead of the unmistakable bright orange body that made Delta famous, the Soiree wears a refined black body with subtle orange accents — the same Italian soul, dressed for a more formal evening (fittingly, "Soiree" means an elegant evening gathering). And in the Undersized format, it's the most pocketable, hand-friendly version of the design — perfect for anyone who always loved the Delta look but found their pens a little too large. I'll walk through what makes this discontinued piece special and whether it's worth hunting one down today. 👍 If you found this helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe to BlakesBroadcast for more fountain pen reviews, ink tests, and stationery content every week! ⏱️ Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:18 Background 2:39 Walkthrough 6:30 Measurments 8:23 Mini Pen Size Comparison 9:44 Dolce Vita Size Comparison 11:26 Writing Samples 14:39 Pros and Cons This video is NOT sponsored.
