Glass Sewing Pins in a Cherry-Wood Box

Glass Top Sewing Pins in A Wooden Box

Story

Beautiful sewing pins enclosed in a compact cherry-wood box. 30 pins are included, featuring color-coordinated translucent and opaque glass pinheads. Pins are supple yet durable and are manufactured in Hiroshima, a city with a 300-year history of high-quality needle production. Rigorous quality control ensures unified thickness and length of pins and their ability to pierce cloth with ease. The small glass top provides more versatility.

The wooden box is made of cherry wood, which has a beautiful grain and is considered highly durable. The compact box makes it easy to carry around.
The belt that holds the wooden box has a shell button in the shape of a flower. Cut from the black-lipped pearl oyster, known as a pearl-growing shell, the shell button is attractive for its glossy luster.

30 Sewing Pins
The top comes in 2 types: clear and translucent in the same color.
