Aigle

Aigle

AIGLE has been known as the master of rubber since 1853 and manufactures its boots by hand with the help of around 200 craftsmen in Chatellerault, France. Each pair of boots combines protection and comfort and is the result of centuries of tradition combined with modern technology. Made in France is a matter of course for AIGLE.

Aigle boots offer numerous advantages, such as the special outsole, which is based on a rubber profile, which is adhesive, shock-absorbing and abrasion-resistant at the same time. Above all, the shock-absorbing and energy-returning cushion of many boot models makes them a particularly pleasant companion for everyday life and long hikes.

Aigner

Craftsmanship from Munich

Aigner has always been inspired by the spirit of freedom, which gives rise to the close bond with horses. For example, the AIGNER race days, which were organized by the prestigious brand on the outskirts of Munich, were a highlight of the Munich crowd at the time. Incidentally, this also gives rise to the horseshoe shape that is typical for AIGNER. Aigner was founded by the fashion designer Etienne Aigner. He presented his first collection of overseas suitcases for the first luxury limousines, the Orient Express and the legendary transatlantic liners, in New York in 1950. In the 1960s he finally moved to Munich, where the cult brand AIGNER was born.

Manifattura Valor

Inspiration from the Alps

Manifattura VALOR - THE manufactory for high quality equestrian products. Inspired by the Alps, the origin of VALOR's favorite material - wool from mountain and merino sheep. The untreated, hand-woven material, combined with details made of naturally tanned deerskin, delivers classic, avant-garde designs. The craftsmanship and the know-how in the processing of the materials ensure an optimal fit of the articles.

Merino wool is a material that has been used in a wide variety of areas for centuries. With the development of new synthetic functional materials, the natural material has been forgotten a little. Manifattura VALOR relies on the tried and tested material and, through careful processing, ensures that the material retains its natural properties. The new wool is thermo-regulating and thus warms in winter, while it cools in summer and ensures a comfortable fit. Moisture is drawn away from the skin. The material is flexible, but wrinkle-free, dimensionally stable and naturally regulates odor.
