Caran d’Ache pens are manufactured to the very highest quality with most pens being finished by hand. The Ecridor and Varius pens are produced from high quality brass tubing which is pressed to the familiar hexagonal shape before being decorated and polished by hand. Each fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and rollerball is completed and fully tested before despatch. The same loving care is also lavished on the Leman, Madison and Pearle ranges to ensure that you find your Caran d’Ache pen exactly as the designer had intended.
