When Haute Couture meets Swiss precision, the result is nothing short of fearless.

Caran d’Ache has partnered with Swiss designer Kévin Germanier to create Les Fulgureuses — a Special Edition collection that reimagines iconic writing and drawing tools through the lens of fashion. Daring neon colours, bead-inspired patterns, holographic reflections, and an unwavering commitment to sustainability define this bold collaboration.

A Dialogue Between Fashion and Writing

Germanier is celebrated in the world of Haute Couture for his visionary designs and responsible use of upcycled materials. With Les Fulgureuses, he brings that same uncompromising creativity to the instruments artists and writers hold every day.

At the heart of the collection lies a shared belief: tools are not just functional objects, but companions in expression. These pens and pencils invite you to create without hesitation — to sketch, to write, to imagine with conviction.


“THE MOST DAZZLING COLLABORATIONS ARE THE ONES YOU DON'T EXPECT BUT WHERE WE CONNECT THROUGH SHARED VALUES.”

The Collection

Ecridor™ Germanier Gift Set
Engraved with a bead-inspired guilloché and crowned with a holographic crystal, the Ecridor Germanier ballpoint is as much a jewel as it is a writing instrument. It comes with a neon yellow leather case, crafted from upcycled materials sourced from French luxury houses.


849™ Ballpoint Pens & Mechanical Pencils
An icon reborn in neon pink and green. Lightweight, durable, and refillable, these 849s carry Germanier’s pearl motif across their sleek bodies — transforming everyday tools into vibrant statements.


Creative Colour Set — 13 Pencils
Germanier’s own palette, brought to life: four neon shades, four metallics, and five water-soluble colours. The set includes access to an exclusive online Creative Class, where Germanier shares his process and approach to fashion illustration.


A Conscious Collaboration

Beyond the dazzling colours and bold designs, Les Fulgureuses carries a deeper message: creativity can be both luxurious and responsible. From upcycled leather cases to reusable holographic tins, every detail reflects Caran d’Ache and Germanier’s shared commitment to sustainability.
