As Is A bit of history for the collectors! Laurentien was originally owned by Venus Pencils, (and Faber Castell) was originally spelled Laurentian and the pencils were made in Canada. During the 1960s, the packaging of Laurentien's products changed to become a portable vinyl pouch and the colour pencils now had space for labeling on the pencil supposedly to "deter theft from classmates". In 1972, Laurentian's name was changed to Laurentien, supposedly in an attempt to increase sales in Quebec. In 1994, Sanford L.P. acquired Laurentien. In 2001, Sanford L.P. discontinued the vinyl pouch design for a cardboard box. In 2012, Laurentien ceased the production of its coloured pencils. 📌 Not a Poshmark member yet?
