Introducing the Drinking Horse in Blue Matte Python — a deep, moody exotic western boot for the woman who wants something rare without the shine. Wrapped entirely in matte python, it trades gloss for a soft, velvety surface that feels modern, understated and quietly expensive.
Because we use only real python, you can still see the natural scale pattern living under the matte blue finish. The deep blue settles into the low points of the skin while the raised scales read almost black, creating a remarkable blue-and-black effect that shifts with the light. It is the kind of depth no printed or embossed leather can imitate — and because it is genuine exotic skin, no two pairs are ever exactly the same.
Set on a sculpted black stacked heel with a sharp pointed toe and a tall, leg-lengthening shaft, the Drinking Horse is unmistakably elevated. The matte blue behaves like a rich navy — endlessly wearable — while the python texture keeps it firmly in luxury territory.
Understated yet exotic, this is the meeting point of modern minimalism and timeless Western craftsmanship — a must-have for anyone who values objects that are made well and only get better with age.
How to wear it — a stylist's take
In the city: let the matte blue do the work as a sophisticated navy. Tuck tailored grey or charcoal trousers into the shaft with a fine-knit sweater and a camel coat, or wear them under straight dark denim with a crisp white shirt and a structured blazer. For evening, pair them with a midnight-blue or black slip dress — the matte python looks like a designer piece, so keep accessories minimal and let the boots lead.
In the countryside: the blue-black tone loves earthy companions. Style them with worn-in jeans, a cream cable knit and a waxed or shearling jacket for crisp mornings, or with a denim or corduroy skirt and thick tights for autumn. Browns, creams, rust and forest green all sit beautifully against the deep matte blue, so the Drinking Horse moves effortlessly from a country lane to a fireside evening.
Craftsmanship
Designed in Montana and handmade in Italy, each pair features a premium leather lining, cushioned insoles. Every boot is entirely handmade, with particular care taken over the sole — hand-built and hand-finished for lasting comfort and durability. We use tree resin instead of chemical glue and cork filling for support, so your feet stay dry and comfortable. Every pair is stitched and tooled by hand — frontier-tough boots that conform to the wearer over time and become more beautiful with every year.
A rare, collectible edition Just 3 pairs of this style will ever be made. We craft in deliberately small runs — each colour its own little edition — so the boots you choose stay rare and personal. They are made to be collected, never mass-produced; and as any true boot lover knows, there is no such thing as too many beautiful pairs in the closet. When this run is gone, it is gone for good
