Every time you step into an Officine Universelle Buly shop, beyond the vintage apothecary atmosphere, the most anticipated moment is likely after paying, when you watch the staff take out a fountain pen to elegantly write your name on a sticker. That custom handwriting, imbued with classical French style, makes it impossible not to keep the packaging forever.
If you also have a soft spot for Buly‘s signature handwriting, there is a rare opportunity to experience it yourself. The brand is hosting a free Calligraphy Masterclass at its Central boutique, inviting everyone to try this beautiful art of writing.
An exclusive experience limited to Paris, Milan, and Hong Kong
This calligraphy class is a special event celebrating “les Journées Particulières LVMH 2026,” held exclusively at boutiques in Paris, Milan, and Hong Kong. Buly’s master calligrapher Bruno Gigarel once noted that while calligraphy is often misunderstood in France, it is an art deeply rooted in Western culture, representing the moment a manual act is elevated to its highest artistic form. Hearing that makes you want to pick up a pen immediately.

The term “masterclass” might cause some hesitation for those worried about their messy handwriting. However, there is no need to worry. The Hong Kong sessions feature instructors Vanessa Lo, Vivian Wong, and Patricia Ng, who will teach in both English and Cantonese. They will guide you from the very tip of the nib, helping you feel the flow of the strokes and the elegance of the ink as you learn the charm of cursive script step-by-step.
