Each Fall, the equestrian “trend” comes galloping back into mainstream style. WE, on the other hand, know it never left.
So, how does the stylish equestrian stay head of the seasonal “riding boot and jodhpur” curve? With cutting-edge, tack-inspired handbags, of course! Here’s our favorite picks for the downtown, uptown, and upcountry equestrian.
Decidedly downtown, Horse+Nail breaks the handbag mold by pairing slouchy shapes with edgy metal details, including curb chains, hackamore nosebands, and snaffle bits. In a word – unbridled.
For the uptown ladies who lunch, Lilo’s Espuela “Vickie” is classicly adorned with a tanned vaqueta leather saddle and miniature silver stirrup, set against the pebble-grain, coated canvas print of Spain’s La Espuela.
Most at home on country roads or the tavern apres-ride, Oughton Limited’s Girth Purse II is inspired by the well-organized English leather in a stable tack room. A beautiful leather girth motif is cinched around Oughton’s signature waxed canvas bag.
