Event details

Dates: Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26, 2026, 10:00–17:30

Representatives present: Phillip Car (Saint Crispin's) on Friday (10:00–17:30) and Saturday (10:00–16:30); Nicola Ricci (Sciamat), presenting the craftsmanship and sartorial philosophy of the tailoring house; Thomas Riemer, presenting his handcrafted glove collection; and the The Hand team.

Location: The Hand Boutique, Van Baerlestraat 27, Amsterdam, inside the Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium Hotel.

Remote participation: Available worldwide.

Best for: Exploring the finest in craftsmanship—from Saint Crispin's made-to-order shoes with extensive customization of last, fit, leathers, and details, to Thomas Riemer's bespoke gloves, complemented by the refined tailoring of Sciamat.

Two days to fit and personalize the details with confidence.

If you love the idea of being able to customize every aspect of your shoes, this event is designed for you. We'll begin by selecting a Saint Crispin's last or creating your own personal last to achieve the ideal balance of comfort and proportion. From there, we'll guide you through every detail to create a pair that complements your wardrobe, not just a single outfit.

Alongside Saint Crispin's, Nicola Ricci of Sciamat will be joining us, offering the opportunity to explore how exceptional shoemaking and italian tailoring come together to create a truly harmonious silhouette. Whether you're refining an existing wardrobe or planning a complete ensemble, you'll receive expert guidance from artisans who share the same dedication to craftsmanship and timeless style.

Saint Crispin's: The Art of Personal Fit

Known for its extraordinary craftsmanship and individuality, Saint Crispin’s offers shoes crafted entirely by hand — and delivered in just eight weeks. Each pair is a collaboration between artisan and client: from leather and patina to a personal last and finishing, the choices are yours.

Saint Crispin's incorporates details that few shoemakers still master: wooden peg connections used to attach the waist, ensuring longevity and balance; and the option of a Norvegese stitch, a hand-welted construction with dramatic texture and strength. These small details make each pair not just elegant, but enduring.

About Thomas Riemer

Thomas Riemer specializes in finely made gloves, with particular expertise in peccary. His Made-to-Order service combines material selection with careful attention to hand size, finger proportions, lining and intended use.

About Sciamat

Born in Puglia and defined by daring fabrics, precise tailoring, and an irrepressible sense of style, Sciamat crafts suits for men who don’t follow the crowd. At The Hand, we are thrilled to partner with Sciamat to complete your wardrobe with shoes worthy of their artistry — pieces that elevate every pattern, every stitch, every line.
