Sellerie Hermine

Sellerie Hermine is an artisan saddlery and leatherworking workshop run by Anne Le Hir, a qualified craftswoman trained at the École Nationale Professionnelle des Haras du Pin. Based in Bréal-sous-Montfort, in France’s Ille-et-Vilaine department, the workshop serves horses, ponies, donkeys, riders and customers seeking made-to-measure leather goods.

Its equestrian work includes handcrafted bridles, driving harnesses and other leather equipment, made in styles ranging from classic to highly personalized. Sellerie Hermine also creates custom bags, cases, jewelry and belts. Repair services cover saddles and other riding gear, including blankets and chaps, as well as adaptations or modifications to existing equipment.

The workshop emphasizes traditional skills, comfort for horse and rider, and careful attention to customers’ wishes. It selects vegetable-tanned leather from tanneries in France, Spain and Italy, along with metal fittings made in Europe, to produce attractive, durable pieces. Examples include custom bridles and side-pulls, western-style sets, leather purses and accessories. Customers can contact the workshop to discuss their needs and request bespoke designs.
