Real human connections

Creative since childhood, Ambre had the courage to embark on the adventure of entrepreneurship, driven by passion and the desire to create. But Bouvier store did not allow her to have real exchanges with her customers, although they were won over by the proposals. It was from there that the young woman looked for an idea for create a link et offer personalized products. The use of horsehair then seemed obvious to him. “It’s a bit like a custom in the horse world, especially when you lose an animal. We cut horsehair and keep it in a little keepsake box without ever doing anything with it. It all starts from there. One day, I said to myself, ‘I absolutely have to succeed in putting together a concept around this,’” she confides. The Crins d’Ambre were born. Owner of several horses for years, the designer was able to train for a few months and find the approach to follow.

“I flooded my loved ones, my partner, my friends. Everyone wore my bracelets all summer in order to test their resistance to perspiration, to the sea, to the swimming pool… I wanted to achieve a truly high-quality product. Apart from the horsehair, the metal used is stainless steel. Outfit was a non-negotiable for me. And everything is natural. Nothing is tinted or colored. I wanted to do it too,” she explains to us. Subsequently, it is up to back to school 2024 that she releases a first collection. “Riders can choose to send me hair from their horses. For those who ride or are passionate about it but don’t have one: they can order bracelets made with mine hair. Ingenious. “I have real exchanges with my clients,” she continues. Most of the time, there is a letter with a photo of their horse and some of their shared stories. We really talk and this allows me to adapt my creations precisely to what is asked of me, in terms of size and color. I enter their lives and they trust me. These are beautiful connections every time,” she concludes delighted.
