The Brand: Founder Angela Liguori, born in Rome, works directly with manufacturers in Italy to develop Studio Carta’s exclusive collections. Liguori’s earliest memories are of the busy hands of her dressmaker mother, the rhythmic hum of her sewing machine, and the luminous dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica. She brings wonder and exquisite craftsmanship to even the smallest details in her inspired offerings. The texture of a ribbon, the crisp sound of a quality pair of scissors … from her light-filled studio in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, Studio Carta brings forth objects that delight.

Description: The best scissors are designed for specific projects. Crafted in Italy, these flat handled scissors feature a gold plated handle and carbon steel blades. A thin layer of 24 karat gold is applied to the scissors to create a stunning finish and make them shine. Once you cut paper with these, you won’t want to reach for another pair.

Details: 7 1/4 inches long, carbon steel blade, gold plated handle, made in Italy

A Note From Erika: A beautiful design and cuts well, really all you need in your scissors.
