Our Story

Some dreams start in a saddle.
Discover the passion and heritage behind eQuesse.

A Dream
Born In the Saddle

At eQuesse, every design begins with a heartbeat—the steady rhythm of hooves and the unspoken bond between horse and rider. For founder and director Jay Wainer, that bond was forged at just four years old, when her first rides sparked a lifelong passion for the equestrian world.

What began as a childhood love has grown into a brand that captures the spirit of the stable and transforms it into timeless luxury. Each handbag is more than an accessory—it’s a tribute to strength, elegance, and the freedom of the open field.

Drawing on the textures, tones, and traditions of the equestrian lifestyle, eQuesse creates pieces that speak to those who value craftsmanship, heritage, and understated sophistication. Whether in the arena, on city streets, or exploring the road less travelled, eQuesse carries with it a story of adventure, refinement, and connection.

Every stitch, every curve, every clasp is a reflection of our belief that true luxury lies in authenticity—and that the best stories are the ones you carry with you.
