Pocket Haberdasher's or Children's Scissors

Pocket Haberdasher's or Children's Scissors
£29.50
Ex Tax: £24.58

A pair of 4 inch chrome-plated scissors of a pattern originating in Rouen, Northern France. These scissors were traditionally favoured by the cloth merchants of Paris as their double rounded blades neither snagged whilst cutting cloth, nor whilst stored in pockets for easy access and regular use. Made in small workshops in the town of Nogent in the Haute-Marne region of France — a place known for its cutlery and scissor manufacturing since the early 14th century. Perfect for cutting ribbons or fabrics, or as a general crafting scissor for children.


By purchasing this item you are confirming that you are over the age of 18, and that we may contact you prior to dispatch in order to verify this. Orders including any bladed items will incur an additional courier age verification charge and legally require delivery to persons aged 18 and over.

Care Advice

Do not cut anything other than fabrics or threads to prevent premature dulling, and avoid moisture at all costs. Wipe with a soft cloth after use, and store in a dry environment. Fabric shears should be professionally sharpened when necessary — please don’t attempt to sharpen with tin foil!
