Why we exist
A shop I built for my own kid — and then for everyone else's.
I'm left-handed. My child is too. I spent thirty-odd years quietly getting used to scissors, pens and knives that were never built for me — and I didn't want the same for my kid.
— Founder, The Other Hand
About one in ten people in Singapore is left-handed. Almost none of the tools sold here are made for them — so most of us just adapt, quietly, for a lifetime.
The Other Hand started as one parent looking for a pair of scissors that wouldn't frustrate her child. It's now a small, curated shop bringing those same well-made, genuinely mirrored tools to every left-handed person in Singapore who's tired of making do.
We don't manufacture anything ourselves — we search out the best left-handed tools already being made, currently sourced from specialist makers in the UK and US, and bring them here, properly.
