Knock Offs Vs. Inspiration

Here at Lisa Nelle Show Clothing we take great pride in all of our designs and efforts to make our customers look glamorous in and out of the ring. So when we come across other "show clothing designers" that are clearly using our designs as their own, it really grinds our gears. It is one thing to be inspired by fellow designers and its another thing to blatantly copy someone else's work. 

Here's a lesson to those copycats out there...

This is an example of inspiration. We saw an ad in the Equine Chronicle featuring a beautiful jacket by Showtime Show Clothing and immediately fell in love with the blue and green ombre tones. This is how we were inspired...

Now that you've seen what it looks like when a designer is inspired by another designer's work, we'd like to show you what a knock off looks like. We do not wish to promote the businesses that steal our designs so we will refrain from listing their company names.

Knock Off 

We're flattered that these "designers" are so in love with our work. However when other companies steal our designs and claim them as their own it cheapens the whole idea of showmanship. Copycats are not designers, they're thieves, and to top it off we find many of these poorly made knock offs priced higher than our original designs. 


As always we value your feedback and would like to know what you think about these copycat designers, comment below with your thoughts.

The Peacock

We have quite a few peacock inspired jackets in store right now so we thought we would shed a little insight on peacock symbolism.

The peacock is a possessor of some of the most admired human characteristics, and is a symbol of integrity and the beauty we can achieve when we endeavor to show our true colors.

Peacock Perfect

In history, myth, legend and lore, the Peacock symbolism carries portents of: nobility, holiness, guidance, protection and watchfulness.

Contemplate the powers of the peacock when you need more vibrancy and vitality in your life. 

Peacock Feathers

The peacock can rejuvenate self-esteem levels too. If you're feeling "blah" and blue, imagine the glorious, techno-color display the Peacock provides. 

Cappuccino Peacock

Channel your inner peacock in one of these lovely showmanship items. In no time, you'll be walking tall and proud as a Peacock too!

For a look at all our peacock inspired horsemanship clothing please visit our website.

Fall heat wave!?

If you live in California then you know what I'm talking about when I say Fall heat wave. Its October and the rest of the week is going to be in the high 90's. 

Last I checked Summer was over....So with that in mind we designed two new beautiful showmanship vests that will look great and feel great in this weather. 

Blushing Black Beauty

 The Blushing Black Beauty vest is definitely one-of-a-kind. Take your black chaps to another level with this updated vest. Wear with a black shirt and you've got a completely different look!

Native Feathers

Unsurpassed style in the ring…and oh so flattering. This vest has been embellished with our metal squares and crystals in several colors. We have used our signature base fabric in black. It’s comfortable, high end, washable and has a structured stretch that gives an incredibly flattering look.

If vests aren't what you're looking for you can always check out our site. We have new styles and sizes available each week!

It's October!

If you haven't noticed already, Halloween is closely upon us. You can't go anywhere lately without seeing decorations and costumes. There seems to be a lot more pet costumes available for cats and dogs everywhere I go. So... I thought I would ask if any of our followers dress up there horses for fun or for a local parade. 

We would LOVE to see pictures of previous costumes or ones you plan to use this year. 

Here are some of our favorite ones we found online. 

Enjoy :)

Which one is your favorite? Comment with your top pick or post your own pictures.
