Arion made in France: what does local manufacturing imply?

Arion’s leather workshop is both a site of innovation based on age-old traditions and a crossroads of the short circuit. Focus on a site of craftsmanship with a future.

Short circuit of the raw material

At Arion, made in France is not only symbolic, it is also a commitment to producing the most local raw material possible. To design your riding equipment or your saddle, we have chosen to select a leather 100% of French origin.

Of top-of-the-range quality, this leather allows us to design objects of equally high quality. Ultimately, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing emissions from the transportation of goods. The leather therefore comes from France and has the lowest possible emissions.

By choosing the Arion workshop for the making of your riding saddle, you are choosing a luxury manufacturing more respectful of the environment!

Mix of tradition and modernity

Leather work is ancient in France. It is moreover in the Middle Ages that the trade owes its official recognition, notably with the establishment of guilds of saddlers, the craftsmen who worked leather.

The working of the raw material as well as the handling of the traditional tools have been transmitted until today in the form of the relationship between a master and his apprentice. Our craftsmen are then the direct heirs of this centuries-old know-how.

Arion Made in France: what stages of design?

Arion HST’s “made in France” approach means a succession of steps in the field, from the design to the selling of the desired item.

From design to sale

Helped by 3D computer modeling software, our leather craftsmen from Arion made in France are today able to design on computer your future saddle!

This allows you to have a precise idea of the desired object and to check that every detail of the saddle is in line with your personal needs and desires. Then comes the step of choosing the raw materials, from leather to secondary materials such as metal. Then comes the manufacturing of the prototype, which will serve as a real model for your saddle.

Finally, the creation of your saddle is the key moment in the manufacturing process, the one that truly combines the craftsman’s know-how and the contribution of modern technology.
