Maped is a French stationery maker from Annecy, in business since 1947, with its US arm in Bloomingdale, Illinois. Left-handed cutting here is a whole line, not one token item: Expert 8.25 inch multipurpose scissors for adults, Sensoft with flexible handles, Vivo for school bags, and Koopy spring assisted 5 inch scissors for small hands. Blades are stainless, handles are moulded so the thumb sits in the right ring for a left hand, and a pair usually costs under ten dollars.
A sensible pick for school supply lists, office desks and the kitchen drawer where scissors always disappear. Anyone cutting thick fabric every day will want forged shears instead, because these are light tools with plastic handles. Several left-handed models reach US buyers only through Amazon and school suppliers, so colour and size choice depends on the shop.
