Caran d’Ache 849 Toile de Jouy Ballpoint pen & Mechanical Pencil Set

A beautiful celebration of Swiss craftsmanship, artistic heritage and timeless design, the Caran d’Ache 849 Toile de Jouy Ballpoint Pen & Mechanical Pencil Set brings a sophisticated touch to everyday writing. Part of the exclusive Toile de Jouy – Geneva Edition collection, this elegant writing set pays tribute to the architectural beauty and cultural heritage of Geneva, the birthplace of Caran d’Ache.

Inspired by the traditional French decorative art of Toile de Jouy, the collection has been reimagined through the artistic vision of Suzanne Pinon. Her intricate illustrations capture the charm of Geneva’s iconic landmarks, transforming the instantly recognisable Caran d’Ache 849 silhouette into a beautiful expression of decorative artistry.

The set features two complementary writing instruments, each showcasing a distinctive interpretation of the collection’s elegant blue and cream colour palette. The ballpoint pen is finished in a soft cream-white satin lacquer, adorned with delicate blue Toile de Jouy illustrations, while the mechanical pencil features a rich blue satin lacquer with contrasting cream-coloured decorative detailing.

Both instruments retain the iconic hexagonal aluminium barrel that has made the Caran d’Ache 849 collection renowned for its lightweight construction, exceptional durability and comfortable writing experience. Refined nickel-plated steel clips and push buttons provide an elegant finishing touch, perfectly complementing the collection’s sophisticated aesthetic.

Designed to combine beauty with everyday practicality, the ballpoint pen is equipped with Caran d’Ache’s renowned Goliath ballpoint refill, delivering exceptionally smooth and reliable ink flow. The accompanying mechanical pencil features a precision 0.5 mm graphite lead mechanism and an integrated eraser, making it the perfect companion for sketching, drafting, note-taking and creative expression.

Presented together in a beautifully designed sliding gift box, adorned with a coordinating blue and beige Toile de Jouy pattern, this exceptional set offers a refined gifting experience. Whether chosen as a thoughtful personal present, an elegant corporate gift or a treasured addition to a fine writing collection, it is a celebration of Swiss precision and artistic excellence.
