HORSE SADDLES 

Sandwiched between a butt and a horse — that’s how saddles spend most of their time.

Their high-maintenance cousins, though, get made into fine ladies’ handbags, belts, and boots.

Brands of saddles are not intended to be glamorous, and wouldn’t look sufficiently tough with French names on them.

Take Billy Cook, a well-known brand of saddles from Sulphur, Oklahoma. While Billies don’t mind sleeping in a barn, Vuittons prefer a velvet-lined shelf inside a darkened walk-in closet in the city.

Saddle brands are not good for extensions either; that’s why you’ll never find the Big Horn logo in a bottle of eau de parfum, or a Tucker leather good at Heathrow’s Duty Free shop.

But don’t feel bad for saddles. They love the country life, and would rather die than be seen at Henri Bendel.
