Buenos Aires, Argentina · est. 1948
Atelier San Telmo
Harness leather goods · belts, dog collars, equestrian accessories
A San Telmo workshop running since 1948 — four generations of saddle-stitchers. The atelier still makes the brass roller buckles in-house, forged from sheet brass with hand-cut tongues. Argentine harness leather is famously dense and gives this workshop its signature: belts that develop a deep red-brown patina with daily wear over five to seven years.
