Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia Sessione Mancino Left-Hand occupies the premium tier, priced between the Alfa Italia Sessione Rosa and the Alfa Italia MT Platino Precisione.
The Alfa Italia Sessione Mancino is Alfa Italia’s dedicated left-hand range within the Sessione collection. Blades are ground for left-handed cutting mechanics — not simply a mirrored handle attached to a right-hand blade — so the cutting edge engages correctly when the shear is used in the left hand. The range covers four configurations: 5.5-inch and 6.5-inch cutting shears (each £360), an Evoluzione cutting variant, and a Soft Cut thinning and blending variant (each £300).
The 5.5-inch suits close-range precision and detail work; the 6.5-inch extends cutting stroke length for graduation and scissor-over-comb on medium to longer hair. The Soft Cut is a texturising tool rather than a full cutting shear.
For the full Sessione Mancino range and direct purchase links, see the Alfa Italia brand page on ScissorPedia.
