Founded in 2017 in collaboration with a renowned French master saddler, Renaissance blends the technical precision of French saddlery with Italian craftsmanship. The brand produces lightweight, elegant saddles designed to respect the natural balance and freedom of the horse-and-rider combination, with each saddle individually tailored through a bespoke selection process.
