Since 1960, the Italian manufacturer has been crafting scissors in Italy. Made from hard-tempered steel and covered with a thin layer of 24-karat gold, the Paris Scissors are a reproduction of a 19th-century pair celebrating the completion of the Eiffel Tower in 1889. A perfect gift for a francophile! With their pointy and sharp blades, they easily cut through textiles, ribbon or paper – perfect for both detailed and simple cutting. Each pair is etched with Studio Carta logo and is packaged in a letterpress paper label.
