The Hermès riding crop delivers refined equestrian craftsmanship through a balance of natural materials and precise handwork.
Because Hermès draws from centuries of riding tradition, each element reflects both performance and heritage.
The combination of hand-braided wood and supple leather creates a piece that feels as elegant as it is functional.
As a result, this crop offers a sophisticated expression of true equestrian design.
Design and Materials
Hermès crafts the shaft from micocoulier wood, also known as hackberry, prized for its flexibility and durability.
Artisans hand-braid the wood, ensuring both strength and controlled movement.
The handle is covered in black aniline goatskin, offering a soft, tactile grip with a naturally textured finish.
Because aniline leather preserves the integrity of the hide, it develops character over time while maintaining resilience.
Function and Heritage
Designed for both performance and presentation, the Hermès riding crop reflects the house’s deep equestrian roots.
Its balanced construction allows for precision and ease of use, whether in training or formal riding settings.
Moreover, the refined materials elevate it beyond a functional tool into a statement of craftsmanship.
