You know those old cowboy boots, tucked away at the corner of your closet. Sure, you had great adventures rounding up cattle and line dancing to the great hits of the 80's. Maybe you've got dad's old boots lying around. Too beat up to wear or even to have them resoled. Reminiscing about the memories surrounding this little treasured piece of history, it's hard to toss them out.
It's now possible to preserve the memories and the history of these hard working cowhide. From stirrup to shoulder, you can have a specialty heirloom purse designed from your old cowboy boots. Combining the memories of where the boots have been, with the person how wore them, will be the delight of any cowgirl or cowgirl at heart. Integrating crystals, silver conchos, brass spots, horse bits and leather horse bridle parts, create a one of a kind piece of work that will last a lifetime and so will the memories of where these boots have been and the tales they can tell. So recycle those boots, but maybe more importantly, recycle the precious memories of the foot steps of a loved one.
The cowboy boot purses are available in the "single wide" which is made from one boot usually measuring about 11" high, 6" wide and 4" deep. The "double wide" is made from 2 boots, or a pair, cut in half then sewn together to make a bigger more functional size purse. They usually measure about 12" high, 10" wide and about 6" deep. The boot of the purse has a leather insert bottom, hand laced with kangaroo lacing. The handles can vary in length from 12" for the crook of your arm to the longer over the shoulder length handles made from horse reins or bridle headstalls. Occasionally you'll find the often sought after cowboy boot back pack. Made from a pair of tall boots using Rommel horse reins for the straps. Some of these finished art work pieces are adorn with crystals and shiny silver conchos, some understated classic western, while others are just plain fun and sassy! Show off your cowgirl attitude from the opera to the rodeo all in one day!
