Collection: Merchant & Mills

Merchant & Mills has been with us since day one. Making things by hand has always been part of our family. Cross-stitched and embroidered Christmas ornaments made decades ago still come out on our mother's Christmas tree each year—a reminder that well-made things carry stories as well as skill. That's what we love about Merchant & Mills. From heirloom-quality scissors made in Sheffield, the historic home of English scissor-making, to beautifully designed notions and accessories, every piece is made to be used, repaired and treasured for years.

Founded in 2010 by Carolyn Denham and Roderick Field in Rye, East Sussex, Merchant & Mills set out to bring style and purpose back to the world of sewing. Rooted in English tailoring and bespoke tradition, the brand creates timeless patterns, fabrics and tools that respect the craft and encourage making with care. Their Sheffield-made scissors are among the finest available today—designed to last a lifetime and become trusted companions for generations of makers.
