Neon has been in fashion for a few seasons now, and yet finding products that truly capture the electrifying brightness of the hue is still a challenge. I am an avid stationery fan and when I spotted the new Caran d’Ache ‘Couleurs Fluos’ I fell in love instantly.

The Caran d’Ache brand was founded in Geneva in 1924 when Arnold Schweitzer purchased the Ecridor Pencil Factory. Schweitzer named his new company after Caran d’Ache, the nickname of a French satiric political cartoonist, the name comes from the Russian word karandash which means pencil. Ever since 1924 the company has been making beautiful high quality pens and pencils for artists and creatives.

The new Couleurs Fluos crayons come in four colours: orange, pink, yellow and green. The chunky hexagonal shape is easy to grip and great for adults or kids. The colours are extremely bright and deep, particularly the yellow, and unlike many similar products are not waxy, but instead have a soft and rich texture. Highly pigmented these neon coloured pencils are ideal to use as a highlighter or for drawing.
