Bridle hide has been produced in England for many hundreds of years. We are proud to be continuing that tradition. Bridle leather has been tanned in England for many generations. It has an unmistakable patina when new due to the natural oils on the surface of the leather. Over time this is naturally buffed down to give a rich, warm finish, which actually improves over time. It is exceptionally hard wearing (and very difficult to work for our craftspeople) and with the correct treatment (and a regular application of Ettinger leather balm) will last for generations. As a natural leather the surface has unique marks and imperfections which give each piece a unique identity. It lends itself perfectly to blind blocking so that your initials can be impressed in the leather. All the Bridle Hide collection is available in: havana, black, petrol blue, London tan, navy, nut, red and green.
