Ernest Wright Handmade Dressmaking Scissors

Handcrafted in Sheffield, England, by some of the last remaining master scissor-makers in the world, Ernest Wright dressmaking scissors are the gold standard for serious sewists. Made the good, old-fashioned way - entirely by hand, with techniques honed over centuries. Each pair carries the unmistakable quality and character that only true craftsmanship can create.

At Clothkits, we have a deep appreciation for heritage. As a British brand with roots stretching back to 1968, we’ve always championed tools and materials that stand the test of time. Ernest Wright feels like a natural fit for us: both of our companies share a commitment to craft, to longevity, and to doing things properly.

Every pair of Ernest Wright scissors is meticulously forged, assembled and “set” by highly skilled artisans - a rare and specialist process that ensures the blades meet perfectly and glide through fabric with incredible precision. This is the difference you can feel the moment they touch cloth. From fine Liberty lawns to robust wool coatings, they deliver smooth, accurate cuts time after time.

For makers who value reliability, heritage and expert engineering, Ernest Wright scissors are more than a tool - they’re an investment in your craft. And when you choose them through Clothkits, you’re buying from a fellow heritage brand that understands the importance of quality, experience and trustworthy craftsmanship. These are scissors designed to last a lifetime, ready to become a cherished part of your sewing story.
