Designed by Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball, these secateurs blend British design heritage with elegant functionality. Every detail is crafted to feel beautiful in the hand and perform beautifully in the garden.
Sophie Conran, part of the renowned Conran family known for timeless British design, brings her modern country house style to these exquisite tools. The result is a pruner that looks as graceful as it feels — practical, balanced, and effortlessly stylish.
The secateur is crafted from a single piece of stainless steel, from blade to handle. This seamless design gives exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to rust. The smooth brushed finish reflects the quality of Burgon and Ball’s Sheffield craftsmanship, while the simple form feels naturally comfortable in use.
With its precise bypass cutting action, this secateur makes clean, healthy cuts through live wood and soft stems up to two centimetres thick. The sharp stainless steel blade glides easily through green growth, promoting quick healing and keeping plants in excellent condition. The handle is shaped for control and comfort, making it easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces or when pruning finer branches.
A discreet brass lock keeps the blades safely closed when not in use, adding a touch of warmth and refinement to the design. The etched Sophie Conran for Burgon and Ball mark on the blade serves as both a guarantee of quality and a mark of style.
Presented in an elegant recyclable gift box, these secateurs make a thoughtful and lasting gift for any gardener. They are also a pleasure to own, offering the kind of timeless simplicity that makes them as lovely to look at as they are to use.
Sophie Conran’s collaboration with Burgon and Ball captures the best of both worlds — the elegance of considered design and the dependability of expert toolmaking. Light in the hand, precise in action, and enduring in quality, these secateurs are the perfect companion for gardeners who value form and function equally.
