An authentic English saddler on American soil.

Come look for me at the 2009 Rolex 3 Day Event Trade Fair. I am working on some new fun bracelets, dog collars, and I'm planning on launching my new line of bags and purses at this years event. I will be doing onsite engraving for your convenience. I will be ready to start serving you at 9am, Thursday April 23, 2009.

Hope to See You There,
Claire
