Description and Details
Bring a piece of Scottish textile heritage to your sewing box with these Sajou tartan embroidery scissors, inspired by classic Mauchline ware tartanware. Each pair is hand paired by French scissor makers and finished with real tartan fabric trapped between two layers of durable cellulose, creating a glossy tartan handle that feels smooth and balanced in the hand.
At 11 cm long, these scissors are ideal for detailed needlework. The blades snip cleanly right up to the points, making them perfect for trimming threads in cross stitch, embroidery, lacework, appliqué, and fine hand sewing. The removable blue and white tassel adds a traditional haberdashery touch while helping you spot them quickly in a project bag.
The scissors are beautiful to use, with a lovely silky feel and great handle. They are very hard wearing and snip right up to the points.
The scissors are made in France by craftsmen who are most often from a family tradition of scissor makers. Each blade has a number indicating that they have been hand paired and it can take up to twelve time served Scissor Makers to make each pair.
Sajou produce a range of scissors made with imitation luxury materials in the style of the fine decorative arts of bygone days. They are made with cellulose acetate, a natural plastic material made from cotton flower and wood pulp.
Sajou produce haberdashery items made in France to the highest standards (in some cases even produced on the original old machinery). Perfect for gifts and collectors, and for those of you unable to resist a quality that is seldom found in today's mass produced haberdashery products.
Mauchline ware originated in Scotland as Victorian era souvenirs, often decorated with clan tartans, and remains highly collectible today. Sajou’s tartanware inspired tools honour that tradition while delivering modern precision and longevity. A standout gift for stitchers and collectors, and a sewing tool you will actually enjoy using every day.
