Rare Vintage Joseph & Albert Manoukian Custom Leather Chaps – Made in France
A stunning piece of fashion history. These heavy-duty black leather riding chaps feature a rare, early vintage woven label from the artisan Parisian workshop of Joseph & Albert Manoukian. Marked "Manufacture Cuir-Suède" and "Confection-Réparation (Sur Mesure)," these were custom-made to measure before the family name transitioned into mainstream European high fashion.
Crafted from thick, premium genuine leather hide with robust construction and a timeless silver buckle waist belt adjustment. A phenomenal find for collectors of rare European fashion heritage, bikers, or vintage western wear enthusiasts.
Condition: Good vintage condition. The leather is broken in beautifully with minimal surface wear consistent with age. Hardware is fully functional. Please review all photos for a detailed look at the condition.
