About

Live the Equestrian Spirit

ELLA was created in 2006 to celebrate and share the beauty of the equestrian lifestyle—not only with seasoned riders but with anyone drawn to the grace, strength, and timeless elegance of the horse. Founded by Melissa Lu, a California native with a lifelong passion for equestrian sport, ELLA brings together fashion, design, and function into a lifestyle brand that reflects the authenticity of life in the saddle and the charm of life around it.

With a deep insider’s understanding of the equestrian world, Melissa curates and designs a collection that honors every aspect of the horseman’s life—from the thrill of sport to the quiet beauty of barn mornings. ELLA merges this spirit with elevated design, offering apparel, accessories, and home pieces that carry the signature style of refined equestrian living.

Through ELLA, the equestrian world becomes a lifestyle you can wear, live in, and love—whether you ride or simply admire the heritage, artistry, and soul of the horse.
