Mia Sabel
Leather designer and saddler
A change of career meant that Mia decided to study saddlery at the only 2 year, full-time course in the UK. She achieved the Cordwainers Diploma in Saddlery at Capel Manor and is now a fully Qualified Saddler. As well as making made-to-measure Saddles, bridles and headcollars, she makes made-to-measure belts, watch straps and pet collars, creates stationery and accessories and undertakes commissions and prototypes. She is the recipient of a QEST scholarship and has just been accepted onto the Walpole Crafted Mentorship Programme.
Primarily using English bridle leather, she hand-prepares, hand-stitches and hand-finishes all of her leather products in a traditional way, applying the high standards required of saddlery.
