About me

   
 


My name is Birgit Lapsien and I was born in 1971 as a child of the Ruhr area of Duisburg, Germany.

Aesthetic principles and creativity were cradled to me right from the beginning. My Grandmother, who worked as a qualified tailor, taught me during my early childhood to put my craft abilities into operation.
At this time, about the age of 8, I learned horse riding at the Duisburg zoo on a Kaisoon daughter; this sport, and all those wonderful horses, made me spellbound.

My childhood dream came true in August, 2000 with an Arab's mare, Jasina ♥

First I sketched for her headgear and headcollars for shows and then handmade them with Swarovski crystals.
As the idea met big approval in my sphere, I continued working increasingly with the highest-quality materials, e.g. the best selections of leather, genuine silver and gilt connecting links as well as colour-variable crystals and precious stones.

According to the increasing demand for articles for other animal species I extended constantly my range of articles, and the variety of individual possibilities had to find, finally, its expression in the change of the company name of originally "Show Halter" to "Animal Style".

I offer an extensive choice of unique, custom specimens to my customers.

However, my trademark is the realisation of your individual suggestions and wishes, including the choice of your respective design as well as by the consideration of the measurements and material arrangements of the desired articles!

However, the most important work should remain to me - to create pieces of jewellery for our beautiful animals together with you that are pleasant in their wearing comfort and still of high maximum capacity!

Nevertheless, we all want our four-legged friends to feel comfortable. We, as their owners, should emphasize their beauty by our taste in the choice of their headgears, snaffles, harnesses, headbands and neckbands.

I look forward to your suggestions. Let's work together to design a custom-made piece for you to showcase the beauty of your animal.

Yours sincerely,
Birgit Lapsien
