Sabel Saddlery is a leather design service set-up by Mia Sabel, a fully qualified saddler, which provides a wide range of made-to-measure belts, watch straps, pet collars, stationary and accessories. Using English bridle leather, Mia hand-crafts all of the leather products ensuring that they are finished to the highest standard. Mia has also received a QEST (The Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust) scholarship which supports talented craftsmen to further develop their skills through working with masters of their craft.


"Using English bridle leather, Mia hand-crafts all of the leather products…"


Ian Maclean, Managing Director of John Smedley, recently commissioned Mia Sabel of www.sabelsaddlery.co.uk to make a made-to-measure watch strap for his Heuer watch. The strap, which includes a military style cuff, is made from mid brown pull up leather and stitched in moss green linen thread. The bespoke fitting means that the strap will last for a very long time. Ian is very pleased to support QEST and the work done by the country’s top craftsmen such as Mia Sabel.
