{"product_id":"old-fashioned-scissors-black-15cm","title":"Old-Fashioned Scissors — Black — 15cm","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA pair of scissors that looks as good sitting on a desk as it does in use. These Vivi Gade old-fashioned scissors in black are a decorative craft scissor with the characteristic elegant looped handles and slender blades of a traditional Victorian or Edwardian sewing scissor — the kind of shape that appears in vintage illustrations, antique sewing kits, and William Morris interiors. At 15cm long and 8cm wide they are a practical working size as well as a decorative one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe old-fashioned form is having a clear moment in contemporary craft and home styling — appearing on craft tables, desk arrangements, stationery flat-lays, and in the hands of makers who appreciate a tool with visual character as much as functional performance. In black, these scissors sit naturally in a monochrome craft aesthetic, alongside black stationery, dark kraft packaging, and the kind of thoughtfully styled creative workspace that takes its visual cues as seriously as its working ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThey are suitable for cutting paper, card, ribbon, light fabric, and thread — standard craft and sewing tasks where a small to medium scissor is the right tool. The pointed tips allow precise cuts into tight corners and intricate shapes. The looped handle design is comfortable for most hand sizes and the blades are sharp from new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eA genuinely lovely thing to have on the desk — and a particularly pleasing gift for anyone who keeps a craft room, a sewing corner, or a beautifully organised stationery collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15cm x 8cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivi Gade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these decorative or functional scissors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth — the old-fashioned form and black finish give them a strong decorative quality, but they are also functional scissors suitable for cutting paper, card, ribbon, light fabric, and thread in everyday craft and sewing tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the blade length?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe total length is 15cm — the blade portion is approximately half the total length, giving a practical cutting area for most craft tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they suitable as a gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — particularly for anyone with an interest in craft, sewing, stationery, or beautifully designed desk objects.
