Alpen Italian Mini Embroidery Scissors

Alpen Italian Mini Embroidery Scissors
£17.00
Ex Tax: £14.17

A diminutive pair of embroidery scissors made from sharpened nickel-plated carbon steel with a gold-plated handle. Perfect for snipping threads in any embroidery or sewing project.

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. These measure 6.5cm in total length with a blade length of just under 2cm.  

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!
  • Materials Nickel and gold plated carbon steel
