Bellissima Five-Point Breastplate
Tax included where applicable. Insured delivery arranged by your concierge.
OLVENIQ Saddlery — handcrafted in the European Union
The Bellissima breastplate secures the saddle across drops and hills while leaving the shoulder entirely free — five points of anatomy-led engineering in rolled English leather.
The leather is selected hide by hide from a single family-run tannery in Tuscany, vegetable-tanned over six weeks and finished by hand until it develops the deep, quiet lustre that no accelerated process can imitate. Our saddlers cut every panel along the natural grain, so the piece breaks in gracefully and grows more beautiful with each season of use.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Old-gold or matte stainless fittings, individually cast and polished
- Elasticated inserts at every attachment, sheathed in rolled calf
- Contoured, tapering noseband padded with memory foam over softest calf lining
- Buckle guards protecting the leather at every adjustment point
- Anatomically curved headpiece relieving poll pressure with a soft padded contour

Care
Clean with a glycerine saddle soap as needed and condition sparingly — quality leather prefers little and often. Avoid oils in excess, which soften structure. We offer a full refurbishment service: stitching, flocking and finish can be renewed at our atelier at any point in the piece's life.
Questions, Answered
Does it match other OLVENIQ pieces?
Yes — leathers, dyes and hardware are standardised across the collection, so bridle, breastplate and saddle age together as one set.
Is the leather ready to use?
Yes — every piece is conditioned, waxed and inspected before dispatch. A light wipe with balsam after the first wet ride is all we suggest.
