Bear Canyon in Gentian Blue, a tall western boot from a previous Rockies Rebels collection. A vivid royal-blue leather shaft is hand-cut with climbing white leaves, traced in fine white stitching and edged in black piping, while the foot is wrapped in deep navy ostrich leg, its bold scales rising into wave-shaped overlays dotted with tiny blue punch-work. A sharp pointed toe, a black stacked heel and ostrich-leg pull straps complete the line.
Bear Canyon is the very first style Chiara designed, more than twenty years ago on the Montana trails, and this blue version was named for the gentian, the electric-blue wildflower of the high country. Designed in Montana and handmade in Italy, it was released in a small run and has now found its owners. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
The Archive — once they're gone, they're gone
This design is retired. The Archive gathers the Rockies Rebels pieces that have sold and will not be made again — each one crafted in a tiny run, by hand, from rare exotic leathers. They are no longer available to buy, but they remain part of our story and our inspiration. Once they're gone, they're gone.
Rockies Rebels
is a luxury western boot house designed in Montana and handmade in Italy. Inspired by the landscapes, lakes and frontier spirit of the American West, every pair is crafted by master Italian artisans from exotic leathers — python, alligator, stingray, ostrich, lizard and eel — that we source and finish ourselves. Built entirely by hand with special care taken over the sole and released in limited runs of up to 16 pairs, our elevated cowboy boots bring together American soul and Italian craftsmanship in footwear made to last a lifetime
