Experience precision and purpose with the YWCA 8″ Fabric Shears, handcrafted in Sheffield, England by Whiteley.
Finished with a bespoke purple handle, carefully colour-matched to YWCA Yorkshire’s signature branding and logo, this special edition pair has been created to represent strength, resilience and solidarity with the women and families the charity supports.
For every pair sold, £32 (50% of the retail price*) is donated directly to YWCA Yorkshire.
YWCA Yorkshire believe young women, children and families deserve the best opportunity to thrive. Through housing and trauma-informed services across South Yorkshire, the charity supports those who may have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse, sexual exploitation and financial hardship. Their expert teams create safe spaces where women can rebuild confidence, develop skills and build trusted relationships, helping families create a stronger future for themselves and their children.
Each purchase helps to fund one full Little Blossoms session, a playgroup held in Rotherham for babies and young children, alongside their parents and carers. These sessions provide toys, books, activities, snacks and vital parenting support, advice and guidance for families who need it most.
Designed for dressmakers, tailors and makers who value long, clean cutting lines, these shears deliver precision and comfort in every cut. Built from over two centuries of scissor-making expertise, they represent enduring quality while directly contributing to meaningful change in the community.
Crafted with heritage. Purchased with purpose.
