SIA Snowdown Media Event/NYC
Part 3
The mountain lifestyle gets big style and a big name endorsement by the fabulously FABULOUS icon CHER.. in the Malibu Cowboy collection of handmade shearling boots, jackets accessories and deerskin clothing---
When we say handmade-MEANING not buy workers in a far flung country ---but right here in the USA by Amish women in the San Luis Valley in Colorado...
The mix of Navajo inspired printed fabrics, unique leathers and toggles/button made from bone/horn and rawhide laces-give the Malibu Cowboy a
Home on the Range vibe-akin to glamping (luxurious camping)---meaning, a rather luxe edge to the boot offerings.
We tried on the boots which are 100% shearling lined-amazingly comfy and breathable---no wonder Aussie surfers wore year round-a footwear look that inspired many versions ...Uggs for one.
These Malibu Cowboy kicks are more eye-catching imo-with hand stitching details and a wie assortment of uppers, available.
Maybe not a silhouette for everyone-but that flat kick has major fans for sure! Available in boutiques---including several we found
online-with boot prices averaging $379
