It all started with pencils…

This prestigious manufactory was established in 1915 in Geneva, Switzerland. It is here that refined accessories are still crafted today, perfect for everyday use and for signing truly important documents. The brand name, Caran d’Ache, comes from the Russian word “karandash,” which means pencil. This is no coincidence, as in the early years, pencils and crayons were the primary products of the company. Everything changed, however, 9 years later, in 1924, when the factory was taken over by visionary Arnold Schweitzer.

Over the following years, Caran d’Ache expanded its product range to include, among others, the then-revolutionary mechanical pencils. The late 1960s brought another revolution with the introduction of ballpoint pens to the market. Fountain pens were added to the assortment only in the 1970s.

 

Luxury and precision

All Caran d’Ache products are crafted with attention to every detail. The brand uses only carefully selected, exclusive, and often extravagant materials – including Chinese lacquer (as the first in the world), alligator leather, carbon fiber, and rare types of wood, such as rosewood. This, combined with exclusive precious metals – in many pen models, the caps are made of gold or silver, and other metal elements are gold-plated or rhodium-plated. This not only enhances the material value of the writing instruments but, most importantly, their quality and durability. These are accessories that will serve you for many years.

Immerse yourself in the world of luxurious, sophisticated design, top-notch craftsmanship, and high-end ergonomics. Caran d’Ache writing accessories will bring a new level of quality to your life.
