100Hands
Akshat was working as an Investment Banker in Amsterdam when he decided to pivot his life to what he considers the only other thing he knew. Raised in a textile family spanning generations, he had an intimate knowledge of fabrics, thread, and tailoring. He and his wife Varvara decided to launch 100Hands after receiving enthusiastic praise from Savile Row tailors in London. The name comes from what Akshat and Varvara determined would be the minimum number of people needed to create the perfect handmade shirt: 50 people - 100 Hands. Though they've since expanded to around 340 skilled hands, they retain the small workshop craftsmanship and attention to detail that continues to impress everyone the same as those initial tailors on Savile Row.
