The Chesneau brand was founded in Kilkenny in 1977 by French craftsman Edmond Chesneau who brought classic French saddlery skills to Ireland.  The design heavily reflects Edmond Chesneau’s early training at Hermès. Famous for heirloom-quality, thick pebbled leathers, pig-suede linings and solid brass hardware. This item probably dates from the early era of the company, late 1980s or early 1990s.
Collection from Castleknock preferred but postage at cost is an option.
