Contessa Made-to-Measure Dressage Boots
Made to order — atelier lead time appliesTax included where applicable. Insured delivery arranged by your concierge.
OLVENIQ Rider Atelier — made to measure
Made on your own last and kept for reorders, the Contessa fits the calf you have, flatters the leg you show the judge, and lasts the decade you'll wear it.
We work exclusively with full-grain European calfskin and English bridle butts, tanned slowly with oak and mimosa bark. Each hide is rested, stuffed with tallow and waxes, then burnished by hand — a rhythm of work unchanged for a century, and the reason OLVENIQ leather ages into character rather than wear.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Fully bespoke last built from around forty individual measurements

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
What if my measurements change?
Adjustments within the first year are complimentary. Beyond that, our atelier offers refitting and refurbishment for the life of the garment.
What is the returns position?
Made-to-measure pieces are naturally personal, so we perfect rather than return: fittings continue until you are satisfied, guaranteed.

Every OLVENIQ piece is covered by our house guarantee, dispatched with insured white-glove delivery across the European Union, and supported by a dedicated concierge who remains at your service long after the purchase. We believe the finest equestrian equipment deserves the finest aftercare.
