The trick for me – being a Small Unknown on this planet of needlework retail – was to get in on an order in a well timed method, in order that I may inventory my much-loved Dovo scissors, too.
I managed to try this final yr. And eventually, the primary spherical of Dovo scissors has arrived!
And guess what?
They’re simply the scissors I knew they might be!

For over 100 years, this fashion was Dovo’s hottest pair of embroidery scissors for excellent causes:
They’re no-nonsense scissors. They’re not floofy or fancy – they’re simply rather well made, clean as butter, sharp, high quality, small, and efficient. Every thing you need in a superb pair of scissors!
I’m comfortable to say we’re carrying them, and the plan is that we’ll be capable to hold a reasonably regular inventory of them. They might promote out, however be assured I’m already engaged on getting extra.
