About BOSS writing instruments
HUGO BOSS was founded in Metzingen, Germany, in 1924 and has grown into one of the world's best-known names in premium fashion. Its writing instruments, launched in 2015, carry the same design language as its tailoring: clean lines, confident proportions, carefully chosen materials and a quiet sense of luxury. Every BOSS pen is designed to be an accessory as much as a tool, something that looks as considered on a desk or in a jacket pocket as a good watch or a well-cut suit.
The Rive Varsity design
The Rive family is defined by a slim, strong structure and symmetrical details, a pen that looks crisp and balanced from every angle. Rive Varsity gives that design a collegiate twist, with rich, classic colours inspired by university blazers and sports kit, paired with black trim for a modern, understated finish. It is smart enough for the office and relaxed enough for every day.
The Burgundy finish
Rive Varsity Burgundy draws on the deep wine colours of collegiate scarves and blazers. The rich burgundy barrel is paired with black trim, creating a pen that feels both classic and characterful.
Burgundy is a colour with warmth and gravitas, a refreshing alternative to black and navy.
Twist and write
The Hugo Boss Rive Varsity Burgundy ballpoint has no click button. A smooth twist of the Burgundy Rive Varsity barrel extends the refill, and a twist back retracts it, keeping the tip protected in a pocket or bag. The spring-loaded clip of the Burgundy Rive Varsity holds securely on a shirt pocket, a jacket or the cover of a notebook.
Size and feel
The Hugo Boss Rive Varsity Burgundy ballpoint measures about 135mm long and 12.5mm across and weighs around 34g, a balanced weight that feels substantial without tiring the hand, and its proportions suit most hand sizes.
Refills
When the ink runs low, the Hugo Boss Rive Varsity Burgundy ballpoint takes a standard Hugo Boss ballpoint refill. We stock them in black and blue, so you can choose the colour you prefer for your Burgundy Rive Varsity:
Caring for your BOSS pen
A BOSS ballpoint needs very little care. Retract the tip when you have finished writing, keep the pen in its box or a soft pouch when it is not in use, and wipe the body with a soft, dry cloth to remove fingerprints. Avoid carrying it loose with keys or coins, which can scratch lacquer and plating. When the line begins to fade, simply replace the refill and the pen is ready for years more writing.
Who it is for
The Hugo Boss Rive Varsity Burgundy ballpoint is ideal for professionals who sign and annotate documents every day, for students who want a stylish pen for exams and lectures, and for anyone who appreciates designer accessories. The Burgundy Rive Varsity is also a reliable, impressive gift for any occasion.
A favourite corporate gift
BOSS ballpoints are among the most popular corporate gifts we supply. They are instantly recognisable, practical for every recipient and presented in a branded gift box, so they work beautifully for client appreciation, employee milestones, conference speakers and festive gifting. If you are ordering several pens for your organisation, our team can help you choose finishes that suit your brand and your budget.
Why a twist ballpoint?
A twist mechanism is one of the hallmarks of a premium ballpoint. Unlike a click pen, there is no spring button to wear out or rattle, and the barrel stays clean and uninterrupted, which lets the design take centre stage. The action is quiet, so it is perfect for meetings and lectures, and it is far less likely to open accidentally in a pocket or bag. Many writers also find that a twist pen feels more solid and deliberate in the hand, which is exactly the impression a fine pen should make.
Black or blue ink?
Choosing an ink colour is a personal decision, but there are a few useful conventions. Blue ink makes original signatures easy to tell apart from photocopies, which is why many banks, lawyers and government offices in India prefer it for documents. Black ink looks crisp and formal and photocopies and scans clearly, so it is popular for business correspondence and notes. Many of our customers keep a spare refill of each colour, so they always have the right ink for the occasion.
Styling the Burgundy
Burgundy pairs well with grey suits, cream shirts, tweed and brown leather. It is a thoughtful gift for academics, lawyers and anyone who enjoys a touch of heritage style.
A gift worth giving
A quality pen remains one of the best gifts you can give. It is useful, personal and long-lasting, and it suits almost every occasion, from exam success and first jobs to milestone birthdays and thank-you gifts for colleagues and clients. Delivered in the original brand box, it is ready to wrap and give.
Pair it with good paper
To get the most out of your writing, pair it with good paper. Smooth, coated papers keep lines crisp and stop ink from feathering, while thicker paper reduces show-through on the reverse side. Browse our notebooks and writing pads to find the right paper for your pen.
