About Caran d'Ache
Ever since the creation of the Maison in 1915, all Caran d’Ache products have been produced in its Geneva workshops. Since its beginnings at the dawn of the 20th century, Caran d’Ache was the one and only manufacturer of writing and drawing instruments on Swiss soil, it has been part of this same lineage of excellence, technical quality and craftsmanship.
Colour pencils and inks are systematically tested for their lightfastness, while fountain pen nibs and ballpoint or roller pen tips are checked in terms of their priming quality and writing flow. Individual controls are conducted regularly in accordance with requirements and product types.

What truly sets Luminance apart is the incredible quality of their colors. The vibrancy and smoothness of these pencils make them a joy to work with, and they consistently deliver stunning results. They're a top choice for any serious artist or enthusiast.
Now, onto the one aspect that left me slightly disappointed: the packaging used. Instead of the usual protective box I've received when ordering these pencils, they arrived in a simple paper bag. As a result, the box containing the pencils was quite battered upon arrival. I reached out to customer service, mentioning that my previous purchases from a seller in the Netherlands always arrived in excellent condition, thanks to an outer Caran d'Ache box. Amazon informed me that the choice of packaging is primarily determined by the seller, but they assured me they would report this concern.
I genuinely hope that the shipping method has been improved since my purchase. Given the investment these pencils represent, it's imperative that they arrive in perfect condition. I understand that lower pricing is sometimes possible due to packaging shortcuts, and for some customers, the condition of the pencil box may not be as significant. However, for those of us who appreciate the care taken in packaging to protect the valuable contents, it's a matter of significant concern.
In conclusion, I give the Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901 colored pencils a well-deserved 5-star rating for their outstanding quality and performance. These pencils are simply unbeatable.
Also I just want to say, I usually take my colored pencils and throw them in a canvas roll or a secured pencil pouch BUT this box holds the pencils so snug that I've kept them in there. It is a bit inconvenient to have three trays on your art desk but I typically work in color groups so its not much of an issue.
Performance is where these really shine however, they have almost a smooth pastel like feel that allows them to blend and layer like a dream. I read that these are wax based pencils so there is a tiny bit of bloom when layering but it’s not really noticeable. I was also able to sharpen each pencil to a fine point point without any breakage which really surprised me.
The price is a bit steep but these pencils are as good as advertised, I’d recommend buying a few of these as they’re sold open stock and try them out if you’re on the fence.
