We are delighted to share with you the highlights of an event that took place during the Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping in France, from 21 to 23 June 2024. This prestigious event was marked by a unique and touching initiative accompanied by the Hope association, which deserves our full attention.
To mark the occasion, a silent auction was organised by the famous auction house DROUOT. The object of the sale? One item: a BUTET calf-lined saddle, magnificently personalised by the painter Isabel DEPRINCE.
Isabel DEPRINCE is renowned for her talent and artistic sensitivity. With an unrivalled touch of elegance and creativity, she has transformed this saddle into a true work of art. Every detail bears witness to the passion and craftsmanship that characterise both our company and the artist's work.
All proceeds from the auction were generously donated to the HOPE charity. This organisation is dedicated to offering moments of joy and connection to women who have or have had cancer, through equestrian activities.
We are particularly proud to support this cause, which is so close to our hearts. Helping, in our own way, to improve the quality of life of these courageous women is a source of great satisfaction for us.
This collaboration between DROUOT, Isabel DEPRINCE and the HOPE association created a memorable moment at Longines Paris Eiffel Jumping. Not only did it highlight the artistic talent of Isabel DEPRINCE, but it also demonstrated the importance of art and craft in supporting humanitarian causes.
We would like to extend our warmest thanks to everyone who participated in and supported this initiative. Your generosity and commitment enable the HOPE association to continue to offer precious moments of happiness and comfort to women affected by cancer. Together, we have proved that combining art, craft and solidarity can achieve great things.
