Our types of leather

The choice and types of leather described only refer to the ones used in flaps and skirts, while the seat and roll knee are made of calf or bovine leather depending on the model. The available types vary depending on the selected model. Not all leather options are suitable for the entire range of products.

Elite
The distinctive feature of the Elite is its London color, available exclusively for this category of leather. In the Premium Line, we offer two types of Elite products: printed leather and lined calfskin. Elite printed leather is a natural product subjected to a vegetable tanning process in tanks, which requires a longer processing time compared to other methods. This process ensures superior quality, better color fixation, and good resistance to aging under normal use. Therefore, Elite printed leather is the ideal choice for those seeking a durable and resilient product. This variant is available only for Jumping saddles, with a thickness ranging from 4.0 to 4.5 mm for the flaps and skirts. On the other hand, Elite lined calfskin undergoes an oiling process to ensure maximum softness. This type of leather offers optimal grip, providing a comfortable and secure feel. The lined leather variant is available for Jumping, Dressage, and Cross Country saddles.
Lux
Lux is a lined leather that undergoes vegetable tanning processes and is crafted according to the highest standards, following the tradition of Prestige’s production process to achieve the typical grip of calfskin leather. Lux leather can be either smooth or printed for the high-end Jumping, Cross Country, and Leisure Time saddles, or only smooth for Dressage saddles. Lux leather stands out for its good grip and extreme durability. The thickness of the lined flaps and skirts with this material is approximately 5 mm. The available colors for Lux lined leather are: black, tobacco.
Printed Super

Tree on blend of synthetic fibers for a lightweight and durable tree

In the 1970s, we made the decision to switch to composite fiber frames, a move that went against the grain of our competitors who were still using wood. This choice proved to be a winning one, allowing us to produce saddles that were lighter but just as durable. What once seemed like a risky gamble has become one of the secrets to our success.
