Surprise! We’ve been working on something special for you. Our Boot Bliss pre-order is now open! These gorgeous boots are all 15% off each pair through June 15.
Boot Bliss features three beloved, ever-popular American Duchess boot styles in refreshing and stylish new colors. Without further delay, let’s check them out!
Bessie Aviator Boots
In 2021, these handsome knee-high boots made their debut, and since then, they’ve been one of our most in-demand styles. Now, Bessie is back in a gorgeous, pebbled, olive green leather. Plus, Bessie in olive green is available to pre-order in D-width! These beautiful boots are so stylish and outdoorsy-looking. They pair wonderfully with trousers and skirts alike.
Bessie has been carefully recreated from two pairs of original 1930s women’s sporting boots. All the details from the originals are represented, including the clever side pocket.
Bessie is named after Bessie Coleman, the first Black and Indigenous American woman to hold a pilot’s license. Bessie traveled to France in 1920, learning to fly a Nieuport 564 biplane, and earning her aviation license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. Returning to the USA, she became an acclaimed daredevil pilot in airshows, earning the nicknames “Queen Bess” and “Brave Bessie,” and inspiring generations of Black and Indigenous women in aviation to this day. We’re going to share another blog post all about Bessie shortly, so check back with us to learn more about this inspiring woman!
Bessie has a leather and cotton lining, quick-lacing hooks, sealed leather soles, and a stacked-veneer 1.25″/3.25 cm heel. Rounded toes make Bessie especially comfortable. With their lace-up closures and period-accurate wide tongues, these boots are adjustable for a wide variety of calf measurements. Olive green Bessies in B-width range from 14 – 19.5 in / 35.6 – 49.5 cm, and olive green Bessies in D-width range from 16 – 21 in / 40.6 – 53.34 cm. They are perfect for so many impressions and costumes, in addition to everyday wear.
Cambridge Bicycle Boots
Next up, Cambridge Edwardian Bicycle Boots are returning with a brand-new look. These smart Edwardian boots have been available with solid-colored cotton panels since 2021, and for the first time ever, we’ve made them with a pattern; introducing Cambridge in brown/plaid! Additionally, you can get this colorway in D-width.
Cambridge is a reproduction of the bicycle boots that gutsy Edwardian women wore as part of their cycling attire. Inspired by the spirit of the outdoors, British country attire, and historical sporting clothes, we chose a sharp brown-and-tan-toned plaid even-weave cotton for Cambridge’s latest iteration. When paired with rich brown leather, this combination is subtle and lovely. You’re sure to garner compliments wherever you wear them!
Quick-lacing hooks, double straps at the top, and a sleek silhouette complete these fabulous Edwardian boots. Based on several pairs of original bicycle boots from the early 20th century, these boots aren’t just for cycling. Wear them with bloomers, breeches, knickers, or skirts of any length for historical, vintage, historybounding, or modern attire. Cambridge Boots are very adjustable for a wide variety of ankle and calf measurements. The top of the Cambridge Boots do reach the calf muscle, and we’ve designed this area to be particularly adjustable for a broad range. Cambridge in B-width ranges from 14 – 19.5 in / 35.6 – 49.5 cm, and Cambridge in D-width ranges from 16 – 21 in / 40.6 – 53.34 cm.
Alpen Winter Booties
Last but not least, perhaps the most adorable winter boots of all time- Alpen in candy pink/ivory and sky blue/ivory! These adorable and fashionable vintage reproduction booties are based on a pair of original Montgomery Ward overshoes (also known as galoshes) but are made as regular boots. Velvet and leather uppers are set off by cozy sheepskin trim, with a cozy flannelette lining. Alpen looks simply irresistible in these pretty pastel shades.
Alpen has a treaded rubber sole, comfortable 1.6″/ 4 cm Cuban heel. Pair them with vintage ensembles or your contemporary wardrobe- they truly go with everything!
Seasons will be changing before you know it, so make sure you’re prepared with the most stylish boots of the season. Bessie in olive green, Cambridge in brown/plaid, and Alpen in candy pink/ivory and sky blue/ivory are 15% off when you pre-order through June 15! These boots are expected to ship in November 2025, just in time for holiday outfits.
