ABD Sellier

As an artisan saddle and harness maker and fitter from the Tarn region of France, I design, make and repair all types of leather harnesses for cows and horses, as well as leather goods.

I work closely with farmers and riders to ensure I meet their needs, with each prototype being tested on the ground before being put on sale.

As animal welfare is my priority, I put particular emphasis on comfort, safety and durability. This is why everything is entirely made and sewn by hand, stitch by stitch, using hemp thread.

Everything is immaculately finished, and I work to very high standards using entirely traditional techniques. No machines are used in the manufacturing process.

I buy my leathers from the last existing tannery in the south of France, where I used to work. They all come from French cows, ensuring I offer my clients the very best in quality.

The items are treated with macerated oil and beeswax balms, produced by the family business. I make them myself, ensuring the products are more waterproof and durable.

I offer a lifetime warranty on all my items – currently the only saddle-maker to offer this service.

As well as standard sizes, I can adapt to individual orders and produce custom pieces where necessary.
