Ink-dex
At U Brands, we believe writing tools are more than office essentials—they’re small reflections of who we are. Every pen tells a story, every pencil sketches a mindset. Some are polished and poised, others bold and expressive. One might even be the sustainability hero your desk has been waiting for.
If they could talk, here’s how they’d introduce themselves.
The Monterey — The Effortless Chameleon
“Hello, I’m Monterey—versatile, refined, and ready for anything. My weighted barrel keeps me balanced and composed as I glide through your 9 a.m. meeting notes like they belong in a gallery.
But I’m not all business. I adapt with ease: a leafy botanical finish for an afternoon in the park, or a minimalist neutral for coffee with friends. By evening, I’m journaling thoughts that might not change the world—but thanks to my smooth ballpoint ink, they look like they could.
I’m not just a pen. I’m the everyday essential that meets you wherever you are.”
"By 9 a.m., I’m gliding through meetings like every note I take belongs in a gallery."
The Catalina — The Statement Maker
“Hi loves, I’m Catalina—where style meets strategy. Mornings start early with a color-coded plan and a perfectly paired outfit. Uncapping me feels deliberate, like opening a favorite bag before the big reveal.
My bold felt tip brings clarity and confidence to every header, checklist, and reminder. At the office, I make productivity look effortless; by afternoon, I’m paired with a cappuccino at a café, cap placed neatly beside me—part of the aesthetic, naturally.
I’m not just a pen; I’m the felt tip that turns everyday organization into a daily ritual.”
The Avalon — The Vintage Visionary
“Greetings, I’m Avalon—proof that style and substance can absolutely coexist. Mornings are for journaling smooth, intentional thoughts that may one day become something more.
Afternoons are for inspiration: a stroll through a flea market, sketches sparked by forgotten books and timeless treasures. My design evolves with my mood—subtle neutrals today, bold patterns tomorrow. Evenings? A cozy soundtrack of vinyl records, a well-loved notebook, and words that feel as poetic as they look.
I’m the gel pen that makes even a grocery list feel like a work of art.”
"My design shifts with my mood: sleek neutrals today, bold patterns tomorrow."
The Laguna — The Creative Free Spirit
“Hi, I’m Laguna: playful, intuitive, and beautifully unpredictable. My days begin with a thrifted find no one else noticed, and afternoons unfold on sun-warmed pages by the ocean.
I’m the pen that proves creativity doesn’t need rules—only heart. I’m mismatched scarves and oversized sunglasses, journaling adventures and messy sketches. I’m personality inked into every page.
Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful…and neither do your notes.”
The Cambria — The Modern Classic
“I’m Cambria—disciplined, polished, and unapologetically prepared. The day starts early, every note structured, every detail accounted for. While others are still settling in, my planner is already mapped with crisp boxes and clear priorities.
My secret? Refillable precision and built-in flexibility; every plan can evolve, every mistake can be reimagined. Even my grocery lists are architectural.
By night, I’m logging gratitude and refining tomorrow’s goals. I’m the mechanical pencil built for those who believe structure isn’t limiting—it’s empowering.”
"While others are still finding their seats, my planner is already filled with crisp notes and perfectly drawn checkboxes."
The U-Eco Family — The Stylish Earthkeepers
“We’re the U-Eco family—sustainability with a touch of drama. Yes, we recycle. Yes, we care about every material. And no, eco-friendly doesn’t mean ordinary.
Our speckled wheatstraw finish turns responsible design into a statement. Every note feels like a step toward something better—from morning lists on recycled paper to late-night journaling under soft lights.
We’re not here to lecture. We’re here to prove that doing good can look this good.”
The Malibu Permanent Marker — The Bold Signature
“Consistency is my language, and permanence is my promise.
From labeling storage bins that stay labeled to signing names that look like they belong on a marquee, I leave a mark. Literally. My ink doesn’t fade, my lines don’t waver, and my impact is unmistakable.
Whether you’re organizing, creating, or declaring, I’m Malibu—the permanent marker that stands the test of time.”
"My notes don’t fade, my doodles don’t disappear, and my opinions? Permanent."
