Lamy noted the opening of the stores at Munich and Frankfurt is an importance strategic step for its partnership with Tripidi.

Lamy, which manufactures writing instruments and accessories, has become part of the assortment at two new shops in Frankfurt and Munich, operated by retail group Tripidi.

These include a Youvenir shop, a new store concept from Tripidi selling luxury and premium souvenirs and offering customers from all over the world a large selection of Lamy products.

Lamy’s digital writing tools – such as its EMR (electromagnetic resonance technology), ncode and note+ technology – will be available there for their in-store debut, alongside its colour pencils.

Jennifer Noelle, Co-founder and Managing Director of Tripidi, commented: “The Lamy brand and its products are extremely popular with both domestic and international passengers.

Lamy is one of our anchor brands and has a very special status within our company, our Tripidi stores and of course also in the Youvenir Store. This was made possible through the exceptional cooperation and partnership with Lamy.”
