News Summary

With a commitment to American-made products, Lucchese employs around 200 artisans who meticulously handcraft boots, ensuring every detail is perfect. The grand opening on February 8 will feature a range of upscale apparel and a hidden speakeasy for unique experiences, affirming Lucchese’s dedication to preserving Texas culture and tradition.

Texas – Lucchese Bootmaker, a renowned name in cowboy boots for over 140 years, is set to open its new flagship store in Downtown El Paso on February 8, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. This store stands as the 20th location in Texas and the 27th nationwide, reflecting the company’s longstanding commitment to the local community since relocating its manufacturing to El Paso in 1986.

The new store will showcase a range of products, including luxurious cowboy boots and apparel for both men and women, with prices starting at $40 for accessories and going up to several thousand dollars for heirloom-quality boots. In a unique twist, the store will feature a hidden entrance leading to a speakeasy called EP Tasting Room, which promises to offer a distinctive beverage experience for visitors.

Lucchese Bootmaker has been handcrafting boots since its founding in 1883. The company is notable for producing the majority of its products in the United States, a rarity in an era where many manufacturers have shifted production overseas. The company’s emphasis on quality is evident; around 200 artisans at the El Paso manufacturing facility meticulously craft each pair of boots, ensuring the highest standards of craftsmanship and beauty.

Each boot-making process begins with selecting the last, followed by careful choices of materials. Lucchese is famed for using the finest raw materials, including exotic leathers such as alligator, ostrich, and crocodile. To maintain uniformity, every pair is designed to match in both appearance and quality. Artisans stitch the boots inside out, turning them right side out during production, with the entire process taking approximately four to six weeks for each pair.

Lucchese Bootmaker not only focuses on cowboy boots but also caters to a complete Western lifestyle with a variety of products including cowboy hats, dress shirts, sports jackets, handbags, accessories, wallets, and travel gear. The commitment to quality extends beyond just footwear, reflecting the brand’s dedication to providing customers with premium options for their Western lifestyle.

In addition to its local influence, Lucchese has enhanced its visibility through a partnership with the University of Texas Athletics, serving as the “Official Boot Sponsor.” This partnership has allowed the brand to align itself with the Texas Longhorns and expand its reach at athletic events. Recently, the company introduced football-themed cowboy boots for fans of the Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, and the Dallas Cowboys, further emphasizing its deep connection to the culture and traditions of Texas.

Lucchese Bootmaker’s commitment to expert craftsmanship, local manufacturing, and integrating into the community has solidified its place as a leader in the high-end boot market. As the grand opening of the El Paso flagship store approaches, excitement builds not only for the new offerings but also for the unique experience it promises to deliver.
