The partnership of elegance and expression

Cantaloup began life as The Resplendent Rider in 2018,
Much changed for the entire world in 2020/2021 & during this period I spent reflecting on the brand.
Simply, our customers had increasingly embraced our more exclusive stocks with vintage & intricate detailing, which prompted the review the logos and branding.
I see Cantaloup as a fresh reflection of our beautiful stocks & the wonderful customers that have embraced our designs & enabled our growth.
The constant through our evolution is the honouring of the partnership between horse & rider, of elegance and expression, & the fusion of vintage with technology through limited edition, bespoke and one-off neckwear for the equestrian.
Cantaloup is the blending of a pedigree littered with horsemen & horsewomen, dairy farmers, tailors & milliners, being lucky enough to have a dad had me riding horses as a little kid which continued throughout my life, & my own career in the fashion industry.
My fashion design & manufacturing career spans more than 30 years, during which time I've designed technical apparel for extreme athletes, worked on couture bridal and everything in between.
I hope you enjoy riding with us!
Ros Fraser.
