UK based Chapman Guitars was established in 2009 by Rob Chapman, an English guitarist best known for his success on Youtube. The company claims to be the first to design its guitars “collaboratively” as the design of new models are selected through the votes of Chapman’s fans in online polls.
I think that looking at the current stable of left handed models shows that the voting system is working as not a single one of them is offered in black – that age old lefty ‘favorite’ finish!

Chapman Guitars Website
The Chapman website doesn’t have a left handed section, but it does clearly list southpaw models separately from the rest making them very easy to find.
