L'atelier Rêves de brides
Based in Nantes in France, L'Atelier Rêves de Brides was created by Mrs Eléna Tournabien. After a Harness Saddler training, she creates equestrian saddlery (bridles, halters, hunting collars, etc.), but also for pets (collars, leashes, harnesses, etc.), as well as leather goods (cases, belts, bags, purses, jewelry, etc.). All her creations are handcrafted, each model is shapped by hand, from the cutting of pieces to manual sewing with saddle stitch, dye and of course decoration by embossing. Mrs Elena Tournabien adapts to each request, each piece is unique.
"Its was the combination of solidity and flexibility of the Savica leather that convinced me for my bridle creations for which I was looking for a leather that was robust while being comfortable for the horse. It is also very pleasant to work with, whether for cutting, embossing, dyeing or sewing. It really offers a beautiful appearance."

Leather can be perfectly transformed into beautiful, robust and timeless bags ! Leather gets better over time ! Because we produce in Belgium ourselves, we also find added value there if we can buy our leather in a Belgian tannery !"
Mrs Els Van den Berghen - Awardt
Gilles Bolland
A photographer by profession, Mr Gilles Bolland is also a first-year student of leather goods at the Jeanne Toussaint parure and jewelry Institute on the "Arts et Metiers" campus in Brussels. His teachers taught him how to make leather articles with the same requirements as those found in luxury leather goods. With our Savica leather, Mr Gilles Bolland produced an article imagined for a photographer and mountaineer friend. It is a wallet whose inside pocket pays homage to the first ascent of the Cervin (Matterhorn). In addition to visits for bank cards, its external face is also provided for storing camera memory cards.
"RADERMECKER is my first experience with a tanner and I must admit that it was great. During my visit, the craftsman was a real guide by presenting me the whole range of products. Thanks to his help, I was able to discover the one that exactly matched my expectations : The Savica. I was delighted with the rendering offered by the Savica; its touch, its reflections and its squeaks delighted me."
Mr Gilles Bolland
