A delightful pair of gilded Sajou hand paired scissors with a design of a sun motif on the handles,
The scissors measure 9.8 cm long and are beautiful to use, with great handle. They are very hard wearing and snip right up to the points.
Sajou's 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 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.
Sajou was created in 1828 by Jaques- Simon Sajou, selling haberdashery for embroidery, tapestry, lace, crochet and weaving. His pattern albums are sought after to this day by collectors worldwide. In 2005 the Sajou brand was purchased and revived by avid collector; Frederique Crestin- Billet. Many of the old designs have been faithfully reproduced and there are some new designs that have been added in the Sajou style.
I have other Sajou haberdashery items for sale in my shop so please do take the time to have a browse.
Wonderful lace delivered promptly and as described. So good to know it's been made in the UK. Has been used by our Parish sewing group for an altar frontal.
I hadn't released I was only buying 42cm. I thought it was a full metre but Penelope was happy for me to return it without question. Would but from Penelope again. 😁
Beautiful ribbon used for sister's memorial cards. There wasn't enough left for my full order but through regular communication Penelope got it for me- even sent it before I paid. Amazing beautiful quality products and excellent service. Highly recommend. Ten stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
