IDEALE MANIFESTO

Our ambition is to make beautiful, durable and high quality saddles. Our aim is to preserve and respect the know-how of IDÉALE, an icon of French cycling heritage, and the features that have made its fame: top-of-the-range leather and meticulous workmanship.

__

We believe that the IDÉALE 90 saddle, a time-capsule from a era when quality was a standard, responds to the desire for comfort, durability and riding pleasure of many cyclists.

__

We believe that the IDÉALE saddle, with its natural and long-lasting materials, with no synthetic materials, responds to the environmental concerns of our days.

__

We believe that being modern does not mean consuming but investing in sustainable products, preserving, maintaining and repairing them.

__

We believe that modernity is not a race towards ever more technicality but a comeback to the essentials.

__

We work with companies that share our values and take pride in the transparency of our supplies and our manufacturing.

__

With our suppliers or with our customers, who are our dearest ambassadors, we want to create relationships and not just transactions.

__

We want to be a responsible company. We don’t overproduce, we manufacture in small quantities, according to demand, and we will always repair or replace a saddle that has a manufacturing or component defect, regardless of its age.
