Hermès Saddlery
A short article from the May, 2020 Robb Report. Saddlery is a secret love of mine having spent most summers as a child on a stud farm with relatives.The enveloping scent of a tack room, deep, evocative and animalic still gets my heart going to this day. The genesis of my leather journey. What was yours?
Enjoy,
Stephen

@stephenkgavin Awesome! Yeah I haven't seen that documentary on George Daniels before, but I have seen a few other videos on him.
One of the most profound things he has ever said on craftsmanship is 'it shouldn't look hand made, it should look crafted'. Notice he didn't say perfect, or clinical or mechanical, but 'crafted'.
Some might not understand the difference, but he managed to articulate exactly how I feel about craftsmanship.
