Limited Edition Toile de Jouy
GENEVA TOLD THROUGH TOILE DE JOUY
TWO CREATIONS, ONE SHARED STORY
Caran d’Ache celebrates its Geneva heritage through two writing instruments where the Maison’s expertise meets the poetry of Toile de Jouy. Geneva, the brand’s birthplace and an enduring source of inspiration, is revealed through the intricacies of the design. Drawn by hand, gardens, architecture and iconic landmarks come together to form a delicate and evocative map, expressing the Maison’s deep attachment to its roots.
A Toile de Jouy where every detail tells the story of Geneva, interpreted through a Prestige Edition and a Limited Edition.

A beautiful object is one that moves us and stays with us. Crafted in Switzerland by our artisans, the Toile de Jouy collection embodies that special emotion we associate with objects we cherish, give and pass on.

WHERE WRITING MEETS EMOTION
Some instruments accompany the act of writing; others stir emotion at first sight. This Prestige Edition is the embodiment of both. Crafted and assembled by hand over almost 300 hours, it bears the imprint of time, patience and the artisan’s touch. Just ten pieces in each body colour are made to order and individually numbered, preserving the deeply exclusive nature of this creation.
GENEVA IN GOLD LACE
The meticulously polished black or burgundy Chinese lacquer body is adorned with an intricately crafted cage plated in 18-carat gold, as delicate as gold lace. The scenes are no longer simply drawn: they seem to emerge from the material itself. Clouds, gardens and architectural silhouettes take shape through an interplay of light and shadow. The contrast between the depth of the lacquer and the radiance of the gold creates a design of almost textile-like delicacy, with reliefs that invite both the eye and the touch.
A SIGNATURE BUTTON
Inspired by the dome of the greenhouses at Geneva’s Botanical Garden, the button is reinterpreted as a piece of miniature architecture. Its 18-carat gold-plated structure is set with a hand-polished natural stone cabochon. Garnet, onyx or tiger’s eye: each stone reveals its own nuances, depth and interplay of light, lending every instrument a precious individuality. A distinctive detail conceived as a fine-jewellery signature.
GENEVA, ENGRAVED IN FILIGREE
LIMITED EDITION
The story of Geneva continues through a second interpretation of Toile de Jouy. In this Edition, limited to 60 pieces, the hand-drawn scenes are engraved directly into the material. Across the body and cap, the finely executed guillochage captures the most intricate details of the design, enhanced by pearlescent burgundy lacquer. As the light shifts, every line comes to life, tracing the contours of Geneva.
