What happens when creative powerhouses like Faber-Castell and Karl Lagerfeld come together to create art supplies? This. This extravagant, limited-edition treasure chest is born. Meet the KARLBOX, every artist’s absolute dream:

You’ll also find sharpeners, erasers, a watercolor brush, and an incredibly sophisticated set of drawers. Each, of course, is labeled according to the colors it carries – in German, English, and, yes, Français.

But it doesn’t stop there: these boxes are actually numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity. This is Chanel meets pencil case, and we’re loving it. The KARLBOX is a limited edition of 2,500 pieces worldwide, and will be sold at Faber-Castell stores, Karl Lagerfeld boutiques, and Harrods in London. According to WWD, “select department and specialty stores – including Breuninger in Stuttgart, Jelmoli in Zurich, Le Bon Marché in Paris and Gump’s in San Francisco – will also stock the box from Sept. 19.”

  • Adorable, for ~$250. Cuz like this, you get ~$8.14 a piece of pencil, let's just say $8. So if you sell a drawing for $2000, it is well worth the money. 10 years ago

  • :( for art students with very rich parents... Do Karl Lagerfeld and Faber-Castell CEO really need more money to fob this onto artists? I have always enjoyed KL's philosophy and attitude but am very disappointed to see this... In my career and for my hobbies I have bought these things for a fraction without the KL name 10 years ago
