WELCOME TO MINDFUL LEATHERWORKS
Advocating Slow Craft
Mindful Leatherworks specializes in hand crafting made-to-measure custom leatherwork for horses, riders, and dogs, using only the finest materials. Our leathers come from small, family-run tanneries in France, Turkey, Italy, England and the United States, and are all carefully selected for their rich color, fine grain, strong tensile strength and eco-friendly tanning. Each item created at Mindful Leatherworks is carefully designed, crafted, and fitted to be of heirloom quality and to meet even your most specific of needs.
OUR MATERIALS
Traditional & Ethical
Every item created at Mindful Leatherworks is carefully designed, crafted, and fitted to be of heirloom quality and to meet even your most specific of needs using only the finest materials. Each of the tanneries that she has selected to work with produce their leather using traditional, plant-based vegetable-tanning methods that are eco-conscious, with carefully monitored wastewater practices.
ABOUT EMILY
Equine Health & Happiness
With over twenty years of experience in horse training and classical dressage, Emily has always strived to recognize and address patterns of stress and dysfunction within the ridden horse. For years she has addressed this from the ground and under saddle, helping horses and riders find peace and comfort. Over time she has begun to realize that there is another component impacting the horse and riders’ relationship – one more static and often overlooked: the tack. Passion renewed, Emily now works to design and improve ergonomic, anatomical items for horses and others.
