Inspired by that special connection we as equestrians have with horses combined with the eagerness and desire to make amazing and responsible equestrian wear, ECTE was established in 2021. It took us a year to design, develop and manufacture our first collection which was launched in October 2022.
The name Ecte comes from the word connected and refers to the precious bond between the horse and the rider. The word also means real, and that's exactly what we are all about: Real materials, real people, and real connections with our community.
We are based in Norway and our designs are inspired by Scandinavian nature, colors, and esthetics. Our product range consists of timeless pieces that never go out of style and that we hope will be among your favorites for a long time. We do not intend to release a new collection every season but rather complement your wardrobe with updates and new colorways.
