All items are made to order, cut and stitched by hand usin only the best quality vegetable tanned English bridle leather from
Metropolitan Leather in Northamptonshire, England.
Leather arrives as a single sheet, so each piece must be cut, edged, dyed and marked before stitching can begin. For example, a bridle and reins takes around 8-12 hours to make, depending on the style and design.
Care for your leatherwork by cleaning with a glycerine based saddle soap and then treating with a good quality leather feed/balsam.
