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.
BACKORDER TIMESCALES
Ernest Wright remains dedicated to crafting supreme quality, handmade scissors with perfect performance.
However, due to the pandemic and high demand, our scissors and shears are available only on backorder at present.
If you place a backorder before 30 July 2021, you will receive your order before Christmas.
If you place your order after 30 July 2021, you will receive your order in the New Year, after a wait time of approximately 26 weeks.
To those customers currently awaiting a backorder, we humbly thank you for your patience and support.
We really are sorry for the wait, but this is what’s needed to deliver our usual quality in these unusual times.
The ways of old-fashioned tailoring
According to traditional tailor, Tom van het Hof, there is still much to be salvaged from the craft’s by-gone golden eras. Join us as we ask Tom about the principles and techniques that keep him coming back to the tailoring of yesterday.
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.
“We are but the two halves of a pair of scissors, when apart…
but together we are something”.
