Caran D’Ache

Over the course of 100 years, Caran d’Ache instruments have become internationally renowned for a unique drawing and writing experience they offer through the elegance of their lines, the quality of their materials, the purity of their pigments and the technical brilliance of their design.

The family business, which was founded in Geneva in 1915, owes this to a shared vision, the unique values of Swiss Made excellence, and an innate sense of creativity and innovation.

They create an entire state of mind that ensures they remain inventive, environmentally responsible, committed to passing on knowledge and education, focused on their quest for excellence, and loyal to the Swiss Made label that embodies the quality of Caran d’Ache products.

Behind each of the drawing and writing instruments created in our workshops in Geneva is a group of passionate craftspeople, all of whom are custodians of unique, century-old techniques.

More than 90 trades come together under the same roof to lovingly make the very best writing and drawing instruments to help you express your creativity.
