Administrative history

The label established and designed by Massimo Osti (1944-2005). He called it Left Hand because he was left handed. The first collection in 1993 was womenswear, followed by menswear collections. He partnered with Dismi 92 of Florence for the production, a manufacturing company owned by the Allegri family. Exclusively designed fabrics for the label were produced by ITS Artea and innovation in synthetics and technical materials were intrinsic to the designs. This included Thermojoint which bonded cotton and PVC.
