History of Leatherworking

Leatherworking is an ancient craft that has existed since time immemorial. Its beginnings date back to the era of horse riding, where the need to make products and accessories for the horse and its rider arose.

In its early stages, leatherworkers used natural materials such as leather and horsehair to make the necessary objects to equip the horse for its various activities. These artisans stood out for their ability to work with materials and transform them into pieces of great utility and beauty.

Throughout history, leatherworking has evolved alongside technological advances and the needs of horse riding. With the arrival of new materials and manufacturing techniques, the range of products and accessories available has expanded, adapting to the demands and styles of each era.

Today, the leather workshop remains a place where tradition and modernity merge. Artisan leatherworkers continue to use ancestral techniques, combined with the latest generation tools and materials, to create high-quality and durable products.

The history of leatherworking is the legacy of a craft that has endured over time, preserving the culture and knowledge passed down from generation to generation. At Curtisur's leather workshop, we are proud to be part of this tradition and continue to offer excellent products for the care and equipment of horses.

Materials Used in Leatherworking

At Curtisur's leather workshop, we work with a variety of carefully selected materials to ensure the quality and durability of our products.

Leather as the Main Material

Leather is the most used material in leatherworking due to its resistance and beauty. We work with top-quality leather from specialized suppliers and use different types of leather depending on the characteristics of each product. The leather undergoes a tanning and treatment process to enhance its properties and ensure its longevity.

Other Common Materials in Accessory Making

In addition to leather, we use other high-quality materials to manufacture equestrian accessories. These materials include:

  • Ropes and cords: We use ropes made of natural fibers or resistant synthetic materials for making reins and other control elements.
  • Metal: We use stainless steel or brass hardware to ensure resistance and durability in buckles, buckles, and other components.
  • Threads and braids: We use high-resistance threads specially designed for leatherworking, as well as braids of different materials, such as nylon or cotton, to add details and ornaments to our products.
  • Textiles and fabrics: We incorporate quality textiles, such as soft cotton linings, or technical fabrics resistant to water and wear in some accessories, such as horse blankets.

At Curtisur, we are committed to the quality and care of our products, which is why we carefully select the materials we use in our leatherworking. We use only high-quality materials to ensure our customers' satisfaction and the comfort and safety of horses.

The Work of the Artisan Leatherworker

Product Creation Process

The artisan leatherworker, with their skill and technical knowledge, carries out a meticulous creation process to make high-quality leatherworking products. This process goes through several stages:

Design

First, the products are designed, taking into account the needs and preferences of the customers. The leatherworker brings creativity and functionality to every detail.

Material Selection

Once the design is defined, the appropriate materials for each product are carefully selected. Leather, known for its durability and resistance, is primarily used in leatherworking, but other materials such as high-quality nylon or metal for buckles and accessories are also employed.

Cutting and Preparation

Next, the cutting and preparation of the materials take place. The leatherworker uses specialized tools to obtain precise pieces ready to be assembled.

Assembly and Sewing

In this phase, the assembly of the different parts of the product is carried out, using traditional sewing techniques. A solid and resistant union is sought to ensure the quality and durability of the final product.

Finishing and Polishing

Once assembled, the products are finished and polished. Imperfections are removed, surfaces are sanded, and special treatments are applied to enhance the appearance of the leather and ensure its protection.

Care of Leatherworking Products

Leatherworking products require special care to maintain their quality and extend their lifespan. Here we present some tips for proper maintenance:

  • Regular Cleaning: To remove accumulated dust and dirt, it is advisable to clean leatherworking products regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
  • Leather Hydration: Leather needs to be hydrated to prevent it from drying out and cracking. Apply specific leather products and make circular movements to facilitate their absorption.
  • Protection Against Moisture: Avoid exposing leatherworking products to rain or excessive moisture, as this could damage them. Use covers or protectors to keep them protected when not in use.
  • Proper Storage: Store your leatherworking products in a dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid stacking them to prevent deformations or damage to their structure.

By following these tips, you can keep your leatherworking products in optimal condition and enjoy their beauty and functionality for a long time.

The Importance of Horse Accessories

Horse accessories play a fundamental role in their care and performance. These accessories provide comfort, protection, and style to the equine, improving their performance both in rides and competitions.

One of the most used accessories are headstalls, which allow guiding the horse safely and comfortably. These can be made of high-quality leather, ensuring durability and resistance.

Another essential accessory is saddles, which must adapt to the anatomy of the rider and the horse. These provide stability and comfort during equestrian practice.

Horse blankets are another indispensable accessory, providing protection against cold, rain, and insects. These must be made with breathable and resistant materials to ensure the well-being of the equine.

In addition, belts, bags, and wallets for riders are functional and stylish accessories. These accessories allow carrying necessary objects during equestrian activities without compromising comfort or freedom of movement.

At our leather workshop, we have a team of highly skilled artisan leatherworkers who carefully craft each accessory to ensure its quality and functionality. Committed to the well-being of the horse, we use top-quality materials and traditional techniques to guarantee our customers' satisfaction.
