Sadelmager Design House

Sadelmager Design House Quality handcrafted leather goods. The daughter of a saddle maker she began handcrafting leather as part of her father's custom tack and repair shop.

Premium quality // Handcrafted in Canada
Sweat-Shop Free // Environmentally Sustainable

Becca Meadows, founder of Sadelmager, began working with leather almost a decade ago. Through this experience she learned how to pick leather and hardware based on quality, integrity and design, each piece had to withstand lots of hard use while still meeting the client's expections for being esthetically plea

sing. The most important part of the business was to always be honest- to always choose quality over price. Sadelmager is nestled in beautiful Rosemont, ON, a single-site facility shared with saddle-maker Bob Meadows and bridle-maker Mike MacKenzie. Resting on a heritage farm, the old buildings offer inspiration to the rustic and timeless feel of the pieces. Sadelmager is environmentally sustainable, locally made and sweat-shop free. We choose the highest quality materials. Each piece of leather is hand chosen for colour, weight, style, durability and integrity. All hardware is carefully selected. The products are hand cut, dyed and edged and are sewn by machine or by hand. We keep our suppliers as local as possible trying to buy only Canadian or American materials such as leather and hardware.

Back in the fall I was approached by the production team from to have my product featured on the Price is Right Tonight.

At first I didn’t respond because A) I thought it was a scam (I get a lot of people messaging me asking for free product 🤷‍♀️) and B) I was pregnant in the first trimester with my second and the last thing I wanted to do was add to my workload in the busy season while feeling like absolute 💩

So when Nick approached me again, I told my husband about it, and Sean was like “of course you are doing this! Can you see if you can get us tickets to be a part of the studio audience?”

Admittedly, I have never been into game shows, and I had never seen a single episode of the Price is Right. I actually asked him if it that was the one with Steve Harvey 🫣 Luckily Sean is obsessed and so I got my crash course in Plinko in preparation for my big debut.

We even got to go to a screening of the Price is Right Tonight (airing next week if you want to see us in the very back of the audience!). I have so much more respect for everyone involved in making these episodes, you guys all do so much work, have insanely long days while being on the ball. I don’t know how you do it. And we were blessed with to keep us going, because it is surprisingly tiring to be super high energy for the entire shooting (which is hours of work just shooting a one hour episode!)

Last night I got to see my satchel on live national television (which is insanely wild to me) and I am so beyond thankful to for even thinking of me and being such a pleasure to work with. And of course shoutout to for your kind words, definitely reach out if you’d like “a really cool bag”.

Thank you so much! I couldn’t have gotten here without you 💕💕💕

Now that I’ve made it on tv, I’m off on maternity leave! I’ll be back in the shop this September.

Very cool branding on the rump of this hide. The best thing about working with a natural material like leather is each hide is truly unique, meaning I never truly make the same bag again. My pieces are for those who embrace the imperfections.

Would you order a bag with this as a feature?

An old custom order I created for a client. I miss being able to take on more pieces like these, and one day I will again. It helps break free from the monotony of creating from my standard line to make something truly unique that will be loved for a lifetime.

Many people think Sadelmager is a much bigger company than it actually is. I’ve had many people assume that all the production is outsourced and I have a slew of employees.

Why would I let someone else do the best part of my business? Every single piece you buy, I proudly create with my own hands. I really don’t want it any other way.

Thank you to for filming the creation process for the Galineers Cobb Duffel Bag. This bag is a labour of love, with many tedious pieces. But I think all the extra steps really show in the final piece.

How it started. How it’s going.

Hey, it’s been a while. For those who might be new here, hey, how’s it going?

My name is Becca. I’m the owner, designer, maker, sh*tty email responder, kinda sorta doing marketing here and there-er of Sadelmager.

I’ve been making things with my hands for as long as I can remember. And when my dad left the corporate life to train to be a saddler, leather soon became my newest medium. I made my first belt at ten, with one of those giant western buckles. And at thirteen, I started making extra money by repairing halters for my dad’s tack business.

I never thought this would ever be my own business or career or anything. I trained to be a funeral director. But no matter where I went in life I always came back to leathercraft. I started this business under Relic Leather where I quickly realized I was in trademark violation and changed the name to Sadelmager shortly after. It was, for the longest time, my part time job or something temporary job. Something to keep food on the table while I was in school, recovering from crappy health or filling time while I figured out my next steps.

When the world shut down in 2020 I decided to pursue Sadelmager as a full time job. Why fight it? I love doing this, but for the longest time I was scared. I was scared of the instability that comes with entrepreneurship, scared of failure, scared of the huge financial investment and scared of charging what I actually needed to charge to pay myself.

I was so scrappy. I didn’t pay myself for the first 6 months. That sucked. I applied for every grant and loan opportunity. I worked in the corner of my basement apartment living room. And I couldn’t feed myself very well for a while.

It’s been more than ten years since I started Relic Leather, it’s been more than five years since I went full time (now as Sadelmager), and it has been the (second) best thing I’ve done. Sorry, marrying my husband and having the best kid in the world takes the cake by far, but you can’t fault me for that.

Thank you for making this journey possible, because without you, I couldn’t be here living my dream.

I have so many styles of dog collars and leashes that are not on my website even though I’ve had the photos for years 🙈

My bad habit is not updating my online shop. I work with my hands so I don’t have to look at a computer screen. It’s the bane of existence and I will avoid it at all costs. Haven’t responded to your email yet? I’m not avoiding you I’m avoiding my laptop.

ALSO, I lost my external hard drive over a year ago with thousands of photos I need to edit and add. Ranging from product variations to one of a kind pieces. If you’re good at looking for things, I would make you dinner if you find it for me.

The only thing I hate doing more than looking at a computer screen is looking for something.

Btw, above is a serious offer.

I think I can safely say all small business owners really struggled with supply chain throughout the pandemic. I had to stop selling a lot of my best sellers because the hardware I needed simply wasn’t being made anymore. I was so disappointed to lose the Suffolk belt in brass.

When I came across these buckles as an alternative offering I didn’t realize that they’d be even more popular and quickly become a best seller.

I love how versatile this belt is even as a statement piece. My favourites are pieces that subtly stand out, and I think this does just that.

The bone burnisher is arguably the most underrated tool in a leathercrafter’s collection. Thanks to for sharing the history.

We don’t think of our prehistoric ancestors as being like us, likely for a variety of reasons, including humanizing the terrifying world and conditions they would have lived in. I’ve often said today is the best day to be alive, especially in contrast with our ancestors of just a hundred years ago. Tens of thousands of years is a whole other beast (literally and figuratively).

It’s interesting to see that some of same problems we encounter today (a very small problem), employs the exact same solution. It’s crazy to think that if I stumbled across this 50,000 year old tool in a museum I’d use it the exact same way and would think nothing of it.

I use this tool to finish the edges of the leather to create a smooth finish. It is also the closest thing to an eraser. Just use a bit of spit (I know, believe me it works better, I don’t know the science it just does) and then use the smooth and rounded side. This is especially handy for equestrians, if your buckle scratches up against the saddle, this is your best friend. It will smooth and buff out the scuffs nicely.

Thanks to for sharing this with me
