Red Scarf Equestrian creates luggage and travel bags for horse lovers and girls on the go.
Red Scarf has four very different collections: Elite, Pro Rider, Classic, and Wildside. The Elite collection suits my taste for luxury, and the more casual Pro Rider range is also lovely. But unless you’re an equestrian enthusiast I’d steer clear of the Classic line. No one else will want a bag covered in tapestry riding scenes!
Designer and owner Joanna Wiseberg was inspired to create Red Scarf after struggling to find a fashionable bag to carry her tall riding boots.
“Designs were all wrong, plaids didn’t match and the quality of the bags was atrocious,” she explained. “Carrying a boot bag with an elevated bent arm is not natural and absolutely ridiculous.”
Red Scarf bags are crafted from water repellent nylon, durable polyester, high-quality vinyl, and Italian eco leather. This eco-friendly skin is naturally vegetable tanned, hand washed, and shaped by master craftsmen. Three out of four collections are made in Canada to reduce the brand’s carbon footprint, and every bag is shipped in a recycled box.
I love a label that combines practical designs, good looks, and an eco-friendly ethos. Whether you’re a horse rider or not, there’s probably a bag to catch your eye from Red Scarf.
