French Hot-Forged Couturière Scissors

French Hot-Forged Couturière Scissors
£69.50
Ex Tax: £57.92

7” large handled chrome plated carbon steel couturière, or dressmaker’s pattern cutting scissors 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. These hot forged scissors have accurately ground and paired blades especially suited to the clean cutting of lighter weight fabrics, as well as a large and easily removed of adjusted bolt, for tightening and sharpening.


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!
