Alpen Italian Pocket Haberdashery Scissors

Alpen Italian Pocket Haberdashery Scissors
£17.00
Ex Tax: £14.17

A compact, yet effective pair of haberdashery scissors made from nickel-plated carbon steel. Great for general sewing and fabric snipping, these are safe to place in a pocket for easy access as no sharp edges are present while closed.

Made in Italy by Alpen, located in Premana, a small village in the mountains of Lombardy known for its rich history in the production of high-quality scissors and blades. Each blade is skilfully crafted by an apprentice-trained ‘Regolatori’, using experience and techniques passed down through several generations. Measures 11.5cm in total length with a blade length of 4.5cm.

Gold and Nickel-plated carbon steel scissors require special attention to prevent tarnishing and damage to the blades. Make sure to wipe clean, dry thoroughly and occasionally oil to protect from any humidity.  

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!
  • Weight g 30g
  • Item Dimensions L12 x W5 x H0.5, Cutting Edge L4.5
