Handmade cowboy boots from Los Angeles. Eight styles in the first collection, each one cut, stitched and finished by hand, and designed to be seen from across the room.
Five of the eight, up close. Three more are revealed at launch.
Ivory leather and rows of silver studs, named for the queen of the twirl. Stevie is the boot the whole label leans on: soft, bright, and a little bit dangerous after dark.
Pink snakeskin with a dark rose scale, and not a stitch of embroidery on it. The hide took about two months to hunt down, and it is the entire show. Hollywood glamour by way of Studio 54.
The black cherry boot. Hundreds of red swatches were rejected before this one made the cut: a deep, dark red that reads like a theater marquee after midnight, with cream Western embroidery and star-shaped studs across the vamp.
Dusty olive suede scattered with small symbols of luck: stars, a crescent moon, tiny horses. Lucky Dust was the first Delraé design ever started, and it spent over a year becoming real.
A dark, swirling embroidered shaft over a speckled hair-on cowhide vamp. A tribute to the old Westerns Brookelynn grew up watching with her grandpa, and to every cowboy who ever rode into the last shot.
Delraé is designed by Brookelynn Greco in her Los Angeles apartment, where the first boot spent over a year becoming real. The horseshoe in the logo is drawn thin and honest, and the star inside it is hers. This is a one-woman label at the exact moment before everyone knows the name.
The collection is handmade in small numbers. The list hears the launch date first, sees the last three styles first, and shops first. When a size run is gone, it is gone.
