On Rue Orfila, in the quietly distinguished 20th arrondissement, Collection Équine claims its own territory: carefully sourced Western and equestrian clothing. There are no chaotic piles here, no endless racks — instead, a curated selection where leather sits alongside vintage shirts from the 1950s through 1980s, equestrian accessories, and a few decorative pieces that give the space genuine character. You'll find brands with real pedigree: Hermès for those seeking luxury saddlery, Barbour for English countryside pieces, Ranger's for authentic Western wear. The atmosphere is both artistic and earthy, a world away from the fashionable vintage shops of the Marais — here, each piece is chosen for the story it tells. Whether you're after a patinated leather jacket, a yoke shirt, or a vintage object to anchor a room, this is the kind of address you keep to yourself and inevitably end up recommending.
