Hi I’m interested in your site.it has be a huge eye opener for me. It helped me better understand my daughter. I had a feeling she was left handed but here in Canada the teachers don’t always listen. So as her mom I have searched every where for a place to buy items for her to help her learn and develop her skills. She is in grade 1. I just do not see what the actual cost would be as I am in Canada. If you could help me that would be greatly appreciated.I really would like to help her learn..she gets so upset as she is the only one left in our family that is left handed. My late husband her dad was the lefty of the house and the one that was to teach her the things she needs. I’m doing my best to self teach myself how to do things with my left so I can teach her.
We are a group of left-handed people providing products and information to make life a bit easier for left-handers around the world and campaigning to promote awareness, acceptance and empathy for left-handers.
Anything Left-Handed was the first specialist left-handed business in the world and had a left-handed shop in central London from 1968 to 2006. Our mail order operation supplies our wide range of products to individuals and businesses around the world and we have made our products available on the Internet since 1999.
Keith and Lauren Milsom have owned and managed the business for the past 25 years and for 10 years before that Keith's father was actively involved in the business. They are both left-handed and have a 25-year old left-handed son and a right-handed 19-year old daughter.
Company history
The company was originally founded by a right-hander who had a lot of left-handed friends and wanted to help them find specialist products (there weren't many around at the time).
In February 2001 we doubled the amount of space available, moved and re-fitted the warehouse and purchased a new Windows 2000-based network. We installed new CAT-5 cabling through the whole building to link the 10 PCs to our main server and allow instant communication between the various parts of the business.
In June that year, we installed a new digital phone system to provide better facilities for our customers and to link directly with the computer mail order systems to make customer details available when you call and save you time giving historic information about any outstanding issues.
Our web site underwent a major redesign and a massive increase in content during 2004 and was re-launched in September 2004 to an excellent response from visitors. We have an ongoing programme to expand the web site, keep it current and make it the best resource in the world for left-handed information and products – we hope you like it!
In May 2006 we closed our London shop to focus on our web site and Left-Handers Club. We will continue to develop the content and product range and add new functionality to our website to make it the biggest and best resource for left-handers worldwide.

A big part of our promotion and campaigning is to raise awareness and interest in left-handedness in the media. Lauren's background in Public Relations helps and we have had a very good response from all sorts of media around the world. Have a look at our page of
One of the reasons we love this business is that we feel we are really helping people make a small difference in their lives and a great many people write to us with kind comments about us and our operations. A lot of our new customers come to us based on recommendations from family or friends and we hope you will be
“.. we are both very satisfied with the goods supplied and the speed of delivery. We will be using your company again as our daughter progresses through school”
“I would just like to thank you for the courteous and helpful way in which you dealt with my problem. It is a pleasure to deal with a firm like yours…”
We try really hard to make all of our customers happy all of the time and when things do occasionally go wrong we do our best to fix them as soon as possible. We are very grateful to the customer who send us nice comments as it helps us stay committed to doing things better all the time.
It is easy to be selective with customer testimonials, but we DO get a lot of emails from people saying how happy they are with our products and how good our customer service is. We have included a selection here, including some about problems that have later been resolved.
I helped him at home but couldn't be with him at school to guide him. I saw an episode of Q I & they were showing a new Biro with a kink in it which helped the person hold it. I googled left handed pens & found your website. Here I discovered the mat, the wrist dolphin & the hand writing book. I ordered 1 for school & 1 for home & they've made such a difference.
Just a small email to say thanks for my order – what a great site and products. My little girl (4) feels so much more confident writing and using scissors now! Thanks again, will be shopping again soon.
I have been in business for over 20 years myself and my attention to customer relations I like to think is second to none. It is nice to see that I am not alone!
They say that any company looks good when everything goes well, it is only when something goes wrong that you find out about that company. My order of left handed knives was missing the bread knife and I contacted customer services at 11:35 on Wednesday 22/02/17. I was dealt with in a very pleasant manner and assured that this would be rectified. Today a replacement knife was delivered by post at 11:15. Less than 24 hours later.
Excellent service, thank you very much and the knives look great. I will continue to use your company and also recommend you.
I would like to thank you wholeheartedly for your excellent website and the fantastic videos about writing. Being a right-hander I have really struggled to understand the difficulties for a left-hander and how to help them. Our school was not at all helpful in giving advice on how I can help my son.
