HISTORY IN THE MAKING
HANDMADE SCISSORS FROM SHEFFIELD
Each pair of Ernest Wright reflects over a century of knowledge, passion and character. Seamlessly blending supreme quality into everyday use. Bought once, they’ll love you for a lifetime.
STILL MAKING SCISSORS – BUT SLOWER THAN USUAL
Ernest Wright remains dedicated to crafting supreme quality, handmade scissors with perfect performance. However, due to social distancing, we have fewer staff than usual in the workshop. This means our production capacity is reduced, and we have long waiting times on our scissors and shears!
The home of handmade scissors
From the 1960s till the 2000s, Ernest Wright continually produced scissors from its own Kutrite Works factory. Now, with the completion of an exciting business deal, those bright days are coming back.
“Every Quilt Has A Story Behind It”
Ilkley-based artisan Jenni Smith believes every quilt has a story to tell. We spoke to Jenni about craft, community, and how her experience of writing a book about quilting with Liberty fabrics brought a lifelong love affair to a new pinnacle.
Stitches through time
For Savile Row tailor Jihae An, the craft of tailoring has provided a way to connect with British tradition on a deeper level.
“We are but the two halves of a pair of scissors, when apart…
but together we are something”.
CHARLES DICKENS
