About us
Glaze & Gordon is a British-born country and equestrian collection that offers something a ‘little bit different’ for you and your beloved humans, horses, hounds and home.
This is the Glaze & Gordon story, as told by our Founder, Becs Glaze.
the inspiration
Horses and country living have always been a part of my history.
As children, my sister Kate and I would relish the experiences we had with our ponies on our family farm in Shropshire, be it bitless, bridleless or bareback. But as adults, we struggled to find the hard-wearing, quality tack for our horses, Zag and Gordon, or the comfortably stylish riding wear we needed to enjoy a day’s hunting.
We tried buying at horse shows and country events but with little success, finding only repetitive offerings across stands with items of unimpressive quality. The lack of choice shopping online was coupled with poor customer service, expensive postage and disappointing packaging. Inspired by our own equestrian needs, Glaze & Gordon was born.
building the brand
In 2011, I moved to New York with my husband, Steve. I discovered a range and quality of equestrian and country items that were unmatched in the technology of fabrics used and cutting-edge designs. I had the idea of bringing some of the brands and makers I discovered to the UK to offer something different. I rented a desk in a co-working pace overlooking Bryant Park in New York and got to work on crafting the brand and curating our opening collection.
We launched at The London International Horse Show at Olympia in 2017. The Glaze & Gordon opening collection soon expanded from equestrian items to encompass hounds, humans and home as I discovered unique makers and brands that fit the G&G spirit.
What I couldn’t find readily available, I turned to the vast resources across the US and South America to design and develop, working with artisan makers to create the first Glaze & Gordon branded items which balance unmatched style with top-quality finish.
My love for the countryside and equestrian worlds lies at the heart of my business. Each product in the collection has received my own stamp of approval so you can trust you will love it too.
the g&g mission
The G&G collection brings together well-designed, stylish products from trusted artisans and unique brands across Great Britain, Europe and the Americas to create a bespoke collection of the best of the best country and equestrian items.
Our aim is to bring you high quality, fairly-priced items that combine classic style and functionality, beautifully packaged up with top-notch customer service. We work hard to ensure your unboxing experience thrills you with excitement from the moment it drops at your door, without a hint of disappointment when you open and use it.
A simple concept, but in our experience, hard to find.
