Quality leads by default

Our Pastel Pencils feature high-quality, durable 4.7 mm leads with unparalleled coverage. This allows for smooth application and easy blendability. The unique texture adheres well to various surfaces, ensuring exceptional lightfastness and long-lasting vibrancy. We recommend sharpening with a cutter to preserve their lead for best results.

Premium quality materials, always

Our pastel pencils are crafted from premium FSC™-certified cedar wood. The rounded, hexagonal shape provides a comfortable grip and is neatly finished with a clear varnish. As an added bonus, the matt-coloured cap at the end of each pencil allows for quick and easy colour identification.
