There's a certain sense of expectation & change that comes with the passing of each season, and never ceases to produce fresh inspiration for our work.

The leaves on our tree have been turning into rich tones of red and brown and gold rather late this year in the Western plains. The transition from autumn into the cold of winter has been a time for soaking up the last of the long days unhindered, walking through scattered fallen leaves and the gathering of firewood. It's a season of bringing warmth and colour and layers of natural fibres into our homes, preparing for winter days.

It was time to release our new Essential leather bag, lovingly handcrafted in two classic shades of black and our signature caramel.

Welcome to Saddler & Co.

This new brand is the result of our dream to keep the old craft of saddlery alive.

Established in 2010 we began trading as Bede Aldridge Saddler, with a focus on hand crafting high quality custom saddles and repair work. Not only did our saddles need to provide a satisfying ride but we also wanted them to be be treasured for years to come, becoming a little piece of the rider's history.

These first years in business gave Bede the opportunity to develop his personal, creative workmanship and it was only a matter of time before our saddlery work led on to the designing of a unique collection of leather goods. We have been listening to your needs and loving the feedback as we continually refine our product designs. We are excited about our new range of leather totes and travel bags, which have proven so popular we can't keep them on our shelves! 

The Saddler & Co brand reflects our desire for you to experience the craftsmanship of a saddler combined with timeless designs for modern day use. We believe that hand crafted, personal service will never go out of fashion. And we take inspiration from the art of saddle making so that our products gain their signature style from the traditional methods used in their craftsmanship.
