Playing Cowboys and Indians, just like in a John Ford western, or Cowboys and Angels, just like in the song by George Michael. The must-haves are hats and Texan boots, alongside studded belts worn with pre-faded jeans and sun-bleached shirts. Grit and athletic grace offset the immense silence of sun-drenched lands or vast prairies to be crossed at full gallop, in a natural setting for the outfits of melancholic gauchos.

A free and proud spirit. An aficionado of travel with a respect for nature, who constantly switches between modern Bohemian and retro hippie. This is the woman to whom Valerio Giuntoli – a laboratory of custom-made boots founded in the Seventies – dedicates his collections of unique models. Every piece is entirely made by hand in the heart of Tuscany with the most exquisite materials, chosen by Valerio together with his son Nicholas. Cult model, the famous Indian Boots of the 80’s now revamped, and seen on the feet of stars like Adriana Lima and Beyoncé.

KATE CATE

The very best Italian artisans of leather and an exclusive selection of natural and exotic leathers. From these ingredients is born the artisanal project centered around the creation of special accessories. The passion of creative directors Caterina Ravaglia and Federico Brighi looks to different forms of beauty taken from music, cinema, and architecture, and reinterpreted in a new vision. Western 2.0 DNA passes through a collection for nonchalant and independent women, who are constantly in search of new vibrations.

SHAFT JEANS

Hippie atmospheres of the 70’s come together with 90’s nostalgia in a collection that favors wide and soft shapes expressed in different fits, which are enriched by manual processes. Accessories and treatments project denim canvas into modern times while improving upon qualities of comfort, versatility of use, and ease of washing. Among the novelties, a project in collaboration with some of the best producers in the Tuscan textile district. Through a special blend of silk and elastomer, Silk Denim is an elasticized and impalpable jeans style on leather.
