Tortoiseshell “S” Scissors

These embroidery scissors have faux tortoiseshell handles and feature the Sajou “S”. The finger rings are beautifully decorated with a festoon detail. These French handmade scissors are lightweight and a delight to use. The pompom on these scissors has a small medallion with a hollowed out “S” in the same material as the scissors. Quality scissors can be recognized by, among other things, by their pairing marks indicating that the blades have been perfectly adjusted at the start of their fabrication. With blades about 4″ long, these scissors are presented in a Sajou box with a label on the inside cover that explains the manufacturing process. Retail $110.00. Contact Très Chic Stitchery.
