Where this sits
In Alfa Italia's cutting scissors lineup the Alfa Italia Sessione Platino occupies the luxury tier, priced above the Alfa Italia Sessione Nero.
The Alfa Italia Sessione Platino is the top tier in the Sessione collection. The 5.5-inch Platino retails at £600; the Platino Evoluzione variant sits at £420; and a Platino Soft Cut — a thinning and blending shear — is also listed in the range. All are built in Japanese 440C steel with an offset handle and convex edge.
The 5.5-inch blade covers precision work: point cutting, fringe trimming, and scissor-over-comb graduation where tip control matters. The Evoluzione version shares the same steel specification and handle design with the standard model.
The Sessione Platino is the flagship of a three-tier line — above the Nero (£360) and Rosa (£180) — all sold direct through alfaitaliapro.com. For the full Sessione range, see the Alfa Italia brand page.
