The Black Scissors

When I see all those people around me who want to give a new direction to their lives,

I realize how many of us seek some meaning to our every day actions.

 

A year ago, I was looking for a gift for Virginie to welcome her arrival at our workshop,

and at the same time greet her for her professional change.

She used to work for a much larger company very far from Calepino’s activities.

What should I offer her ?

Flowers ? Chocolate ?

No !

 

As the french “Compagnons” use to do, and as the craftsmen tradition advices,

I was looking for a solid tool, durable, but also aesthetic.

I searched for long time and … often in vain.

 

Then one day, by chance, I found.

The object was safe, beautiful and true, always sharpened and assembled by hand by the same manufacturer for many generations.

A good tool to be professionally used every day.

 

Then offering this pair of scissors to my workshop “compagnonne”,

I realized Calepino did not propose you this type of objects yet.

 

So…our great manufacturer agreed to make a model of these scissors for Calepino,

to be used at the office as well as at the workshop.

18 cm, steel blades, Teflon coated, perfect for cutting paper and cardboard.

 

I hope you’ll enjoy these scissors as much as Virginie.

They will expand our catalog of objects associated with the notebooks,

and might be for you as well,

a loyal tool to go with your life changes.

As an evidence.
