The spirit of Texas is alive and well, as evidenced by the latest collaboration from Lela Rose and Lucchese Bootmaker.
The two Texas natives have partnered on a collection of dresses, skirts, tops, outerwear, accessories and boots designed to blend Lucchese’s 143-year heritage of handcrafted boot-making with Lela Rose’s refined feminine aesthetic.
The Lela Rose x Lucchese collection will include footwear with floral motifs, co-branded apparel and belts.
Rose, a New York-based designer with Texas roots, used her Ranch Line, a collection that celebrates country living, as a launching point for the collaboration.
“As a designer, I’m always drawn to pieces that feel intentional and lasting, and Lucchese’s craftsmanship immediately spoke to me,” said Rose. “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.”
Doug Hogue, vice president of product at Lucchese, added: “This collaboration goes beyond co-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.”

Each piece in the collection is named after a bird — a nod to Rose’s love of birding and ornithology. The collection includes three limited-edition boots: the Meadowlark ($1,895), which features three-dimensional florals on a 17-inch silhouette; the Roadrunner boot ($1,295), which features inlays across the quarters, and the Whippoorwill ($1,695), a smooth leather boot with whipstitch and floral inlays across the vamp and quarters.
The apparel offerings 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.
There is also 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 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.
“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,” said 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 will launch in Lucchese and Lela Rose stores on Wednesday and online on March 10.
