Caran d'Ache — Swiss-Made Pencils and Pastels Since 1915

Caran d'Ache has been making pencils, pastels, and colour tools in Geneva since 1915 — over a century of Swiss precision applied to artists' materials. The brand is synonymous with exceptional quality, with a range that spans everything from everyday writing instruments to professional fine art materials used by illustrators, designers, and painters worldwide.

We stock a curated selection of Caran d'Ache products including Grafwood and Grafcube graphite pencils, Pastel Pencils, and the Fibralo Kawaii felt tip pen range. Grafwood pencils are particularly well regarded by artists and architects for their consistency and quality of mark — each pencil is made with a break-resistant Swiss-grade graphite core and kiln-dried cedar casing.

All our Caran d'Ache products are stocked in our Hebden Bridge shop on Carlton Street and available online with UK delivery.
