With refined lines, her creations combine aesthetics and practicality, and have the particularity of bearing the first name of her ancestors.
"What a pleasure it is to work with Niagara leather... I love this leather, which combines robustness and suppleness. For the "Marguerite" besace, I work with shoulder. I emphasize neck wrinkles in my creations. The leather patinas very well over time and gains in suppleness. As all my creations (made with saddlery leather) are entirely hand-made (cuts and seams), it's very important that the tools react well. The half-moon knife and the abat-carré glide along the entire length of the piece being worked, and it's a very pleasant sensation. When I present the different shoulder color by unfolding the hide in front of my customers, their reaction is always the same: they caress the hide and one phrase comes up regularly: 'that's leather'."

Each piece is unique and manufactured according to the traditional know-how of French saddlery, and in the constant search for optimal comfort for the horse and its rider.
"I work withNiagara half-backs , which offer a very good compromise between softness and firmness. Very pleasant to work with, Niagara offers good seam rendering and is resistant over time. The pieces are solid and age well, taking on a beautiful patina."
