Kingsland
Kingsland – The Norwegian Leader in Equestrian Clothing
Kingsland is a premium Norwegian brand that has been setting standards in equestrian apparel since 1999, combining Scandinavian functionality with elegant design and the highest quality craftsmanship. Founded in the small Norwegian town of Kvinesdal, Kingsland quickly became a global leader, offering a comprehensive range of clothing and equipment for equestrians – from technical breeches and jackets, through elegant tournament collections, to personalized kits for clubs and teams. At Equishop Store, we provide professional advice and selection of Kingsland products, and also handle club orders with full customization – logos, colors, and individual embroidery.
Brand History – From a Small Town to Global Success
The Kingsland story began in 1999 in Kvinesdal, a small town in southern Norway, where Eirik Søfteland, a passionate equestrian and entrepreneur, set out to create an equestrian apparel brand that would combine the functionality of Scandinavian outdoor clothing with the elegance required by the equestrian world. His vision was to create products that would perform equally well in the harsh conditions of the Norwegian winter and in the prestigious arenas of professional competition.
Kingsland's first collection consisted of just a few products—breeches, jackets, and fleeces—but it immediately stood out for its exceptional quality materials and attention to detail. The brand name—Kingsland—refers to the "royal land," symbolizing the aspiration to create products worthy of masters.
The brand's breakthrough came in 2004, when Kingsland began working with leading Scandinavian athletes, who began wearing the brand's products in international competitions. Their positive feedback and visible sporting successes earned Kingsland recognition throughout Europe. In the following years, the brand systematically expanded its offerings and presence in international markets.
Today, Kingsland is a global brand present in over 40 countries on every continent. The company employs over 100 people, and its products are worn by both amateurs and elite Olympic athletes. Despite its global success, Kingsland remains true to its Norwegian roots – its headquarters are still located in Kvinesdal, and Scandinavian values – functionality, quality, integrity, and respect for nature – are the foundation of the brand.
Brand Philosophy – Scandinavian Functionality Meets Elegance
Kingsland bases its philosophy on three pillars:
- Functionality – each product must be practical, durable and suitable for real training and professional conditions
- Quality – only the best materials, precise workmanship and rigorous quality control
- Style – elegance and modern design that distinguishes the rider in the arena
The brand draws inspiration from Scandinavian nature and lifestyle – minimalism, functionality, durability, and respect for the environment. Kingsland products are designed to last for years, retaining their properties and appearance even after intensive use.
