The Caran d'Ache Ecridor XS is an ultra-compact version of the classic Ecridor range. Just 95mm long and approx 8mm diameter, it slips unobtrusively into pockets, purses, handbags and organisers, yet still retains all the aesthetic qualities and robust construction of the full-size range. Solid brass barrel is engraved with a classic guilloche pattern first used in 1947, silver-plated and then rhodium-coated.
Retractable ballpoint pen, actuated by a polished push-button, engraved with the CdA logo. Refill supplied as black medium. Polished pocket clip is elegant yet sturdy.
Supplied in a gift box, complete with a small leather pouch.

Caran d'Ache is familiar to many for their excellent range of coloured pencils. However, Switzerland's premier manufacturer of writing instruments and art products has a wide range of items from simple office items through the classic Fixpencil clutch pencils and 849 Metal Ballpoints to the highly desirable Ecridor premium range and beyond. All are made with uncompromising attention to detail and to the highest quality.
Caran d'Ache was the pen name by which French illustrator, Emmanuel Poiré, achieved worldwide renown in the 19th century. “Karandash” is the Russian term for “pencil” and in turn comes from the Turkish root “kara tash” which refers to black stone – the origins of graphite.
This natural material found in the mountains of Switzerland gave rise to the first Swiss pencil factory, in Geneva in 1915. Nine years later, in the hands of its founder, Arnold Schweitzer, it took the name of the famous illustrator and became known as Caran d'Ache.
