S.T. Dupont 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Slimmy — Vanikoro

The chapter called "Vanikoro" is one of Jules Verne's most vivid. Captain Nemo and his three companions dock on the island of Vanikoro in the South Pacific, surrounded by an incredible barrier reef — a world of living color and strange beauty just beneath the surface. Coral formations rise from the floor. Bubbles drift upward through clear water. It is one of the few moments in the novel where danger recedes and wonder takes its place. S.T. Dupont's Vanikoro range was built for that image, and the Slimmy carries it in the most pocketable form the collection offers.

Vanikoro — The Standard Range

The Vanikoro range forms the Standard tier of S.T. Dupont's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea collection — the most wearable and accessible expression of the novel's imagery. Where the Premium Gulf Stream and Pacific lighters use wave guilloché beneath gradient lacquer, Vanikoro uses the coral and bubble decoration of the barrier reef itself: a warmer, more organic motif rendered in royal blue gloss lacquer with chrome accents. It is the collection's most immediate visual statement.

Royal Blue / Coral and Bubbles

The Vanikoro Slimmy's royal blue lacquer is glossy and saturated — not the deep gradient of the Premium lighters, but the vivid blue of the reef's shallower water where light still reaches everything. The coral and bubble decoration runs across the surface in the chrome finish, giving the lighter a texture that is both decorative and genuinely evocative of the chapter it references.

The Slimmy

The Slimmy is S.T. Dupont's slim pocket lighter — compact, ergonomic, and designed for daily carry without ceremony. Its jet flame performs reliably across conditions. In the Vanikoro royal blue, the Slimmy brings the 20,000 Leagues collection into everyday use — a piece of Verne's imagination that travels with you.
