The origins of El Caballo, a family-run company since its foundation, are directly linked to the animal that gives it its name: el caballo (the horse). Saddles, tack and farm trappings were the first articles to be produced by the company’s workshop located in Seville’s Arenal district in 1892.

Years later, agricultural progress led the brand towards the hunting and equestrian sport sectors, where its products gained great renown for their quality and fine finish.

This success, stemming from a pursuit of perfection and respect for traditional craftsmanship, led El Caballo to step into the world of fashion. Through this change of direction, the brand found its definitive raison d'être and became a hallmark of style and distinction.

Although its products are distributed in countries such as Mexico and Japan, the company still retains the same friendly and family atmosphere with which it started over 100 years ago.

El Caballo’s philosophy has been guided throughout its history by one maxim: loyalty to tradition. Over the years, this tradition has enabled the company to maintain the highest standards of quality.

This tradition also makes the company inextricably bound to Seville, its natural habitat,  and a habitat that is deeply imprinted on its identity, since the characteristics of Seville are also those of El Caballo. The traditions of equestrian leather craft, design and Seville are the pillars on which El Caballo’s philosophy is based, and on which it designs its fashion collections.

New breezes are blowing at El Caballo: since the start of 2007, Nicolas Vaudelet has been the Creative Director of its collections.

Born in Brittany in 1976, Vaudelet has worked in several of the big international fashion houses. He worked in Christian Lacroix, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier until he acquired his own personal style that defines his designs today. This style is characterised by a creative flair with leather garments and articles, a flair that he imprints on El Caballo, creating a new tone that honours the essence of the brand.
