Luxury fashion house Hermès is taking the equestrian world by storm with its new saddle, unveiled at a jumping competition in Paris. With impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail, it's sure to be a hit among riders.
The five-star event is known for bringing in the world’s top riders and horses. And lest the breathless jockeying for thehandbags has made you forget, Hermès originally made its name on the quality of its saddles. Just above its headquarters on the rue du Faubourg, there is even a private museum dedicated to horse riding with historical artifacts collected throughout time by the Hermès family descendants.
, the Selle Rouge, with longtime Hermès rider and Olympic medalist, Jérôme Guery and his horse, Cristel.Three years in the making, the Selle Rouge was developed by Guery and Hermès by perfecting its design over time through a series of trials and tweaks. The process involved discussions with saddle experts and artisans and numerous tests in the field to improve every technical detail.
So, who is the client? Nobecourt says the saddles are not just for professional riders, although they are designed to be suitable for the highest level of the sport. “You can be an amateur rider and depending on how your ride, you will find your preference among our saddles,” she says. At the show, there was a mix of serious riding clients, as well as some well-heeled VIPs who don’t even ride but happen to own a fleet of horses that they outfit in Hermès.
That expertise and artisanal touch is something Hermès takes seriously and sees as a long-term ambition. The company is expanding its saddle-making operations beyond its Faubourg workshop with a new atelier opening next month in Normandy, France’s horse country. “The vitality of the métier is good and while Faubourg is a beautiful gem, it can’t get much bigger so we needed to have another workshop,” says Nobecourt.
