This A Vida Portuguesa Packaged Graphite Pencil is made by Viarco, the oldest and only pencil manufacturer in Portugal. The company was founded by industrialist and entrepreneur Manoel Vieira de Araújo in the 1930s, and is still family-owned to this day. To celebrate its 70th anniversary, Viarco reissued some of their products exclusively for A Vida Portuguesa, a Lisbon-based, women-owned shop focused on crafts made in Portugal. This special edition features classic packaging that is as charming today as it was back then. Use yours to jot down notes, write in a journal or draw quick sketches. The A Vida Portuguesa Packaged Graphite Pencil measures 7.4"l.
