Storied Western Wear Leader Lucchese Bootmaker and Acclaimed Fashion Designer Lela Rose Unveil a New Vision of Western Luxury for Women
DALLAS — American heritage brand Lucchese Bootmaker and CFDA fashion designer Lela Rose announce a collaboration that brings together two distinctly Texan perspectives on craft, tradition, and design. Launching March 10, the Lela Rose x Lucchese collection reimagines Western luxury for women, blending Lucchese’s 143-year legacy of handcrafted bootmaking with Lela Rose’s signature refined femininity and modern sensibility.

Lela Rose x Lucchese Blue Jay
Designed as a full lifestyle expression, the limited-edition collection spans footwear featuring delicate floral motifs, co-branded apparel exclusives and belts. Each piece draws from Lela Rose’s Texan heritage and Lucchese’s legacy, resulting in designs that feel elevated yet grounded — luxurious without losing their spirit. Altogether, the collection represents a dialogue between Texan identity, feminine elegance, artisanal craftsmanship, and intentional design.
Lela Rose, a New York-based designer with deep Texas roots, is known for meticulous attention to detail, thoughtful construction, and an effortless elegance. Her Ranch Line, which celebrates the beauty and ease of country living, served as the creative starting point for the collaboration, offering a natural bridge between high design and Western tradition.

Lela Rose x Lucchese Bunting
“As a designer, I’m always drawn to pieces that feel intentional and lasting, and Lucchese’s craftsmanship immediately spoke to me.”
“This collaboration was an opportunity to reinterpret classic Americana style, bringing refinement, femininity, and modernity to timeless silhouettes. It’s about creating something meaningful for women who value design as much as they do substance.”
Since 1883, Lucchese has remained true to its core values while continuing to shape the future of westernwear. The brand’s legacy runs deeper than leather and stitch, designed to last generations; it pulses through the spirit of those who understand that a boot is more than footwear. It is a testament to an enduring way of life.
“This collaboration goes beyond branding: it’s a genuine conversation between two makers who believe that luxury and authenticity are not mutually exclusive. Every detail reflects a shared respect for artisanship, from the way the materials are treated to how the design tells a story.”
The Boots
Each piece in the collection is named after a bird – a subtle nod to Lela Rose’s lifelong connection to birding and ornithology, and a poetic extension of the natural world that inspires both the designs and their names. At the core of the collection are three limited-edition boots that reinterpret Lucchese’s iconic craftsmanship through Lela Rose’s signature floral language and nuanced color stories. The Meadowlark boot ($1,895), available in Ivory and Whiskey, is a masterclass in imagination and innovation, featuring three-dimensional florals on a 17-inch silhouette that create captivating depth and texture. The Roadrunner boot ($1,295), offered in Cognac and Navy, is inspired by the colors of the natural world, highlighting exquisite inlay work across the quarters. The Whippoorwill boot ($1,695) presented in CognacTonal and Black/Ivory, is a smooth leather boot, featuring delicate whipstitch appliqué that frames floral inlays across the vamp and quarters.
“Working with Lela Rose to design this collaboration allowed us to bring the core values of each brand together to approach women’s Western Wear with a fresh perspective,” says Holly Mery, Director of Women's Design at Lucchese. “It was inspiring to see boot designs through Lela’s eyes, as this collection combines traditional Western and contemporary fashion. It’s fashion-forward, and I can't wait to see how women across the country style it.”
In addition to the boots, the apparel offerings highlight the focus on heritage and thoughtful design. The co-branded dresses, skirts, tops, and outerwear feature floral motifs, natural fabrics like denim and linen, and striking leather details.
The Dresses
Dresses in the collection include the Robin ($1,290), a linen dress featuring a wildflower print, the Nightingale ($1,690), a square neck linen styling with a tulip motif, the Wren ($650), a cotton poplin piece with leather trim, and the Sparrow ($1,090), a plaid seersucker ruched dress.
Alongside dresses, the line features the Blue Jay ($890), a wildflower linen drop waist skirt, the Starling ($960), a denim ruffle detail skirt, and the Warbler ($2,490), a floral printed canvas embroidered skirt.
Rounding out the collaboration are four tops and one jacket, including: the Skylark ($990), a tulip embroidered linen shirt, the Harrier ($490), a cotton poplin leather trim cropped shirt, the Bunting ($890), a cotton poplin leather drop flower shirt, the Finch $890 a denim draped tulip tank, and the Heron ($1,890), a jacket in an elevated-wash denim.
