Iconic Dallas hotel partners with bespoke boot brand to create custom designed Mansion Boot
October 01, 2020
Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek®, the Texas icon and inaugural property of the ultra-luxury Rosewood Hotels & Resorts® collection, today unveils The Mansion Boot, a custom cowboy boot created in partnership with Dallas-based bespoke cowboy boot company Miron Crosby. Fashioned specifically for the property and inspired by its distinct history and heritage, the boot showcases the style and sophistication of the destination while simultaneously highlighting the two brands’ shared appreciation of artisanry, hand-craftsmanship and the local Dallas community.
Based in neighboring Highland Park Village, Miron Crosby was launched in 2017 by sisters Lizzie Means Duplantis and Sarah Means with a mission of creating beautifully designed, custom cowboy boots for every occasion. Fusing authentic Texas elements and aesthetic with the highest quality materials and a contemporary sense of style, each pair of hand-crafted boots serves as a showpiece as much as a set of footwear. With customized options and styles for men, women and children, all offering “ranch to runway” versatility, the boots are ideal for special events or everyday wear alike.
To create the Mansion Boot, Lizzie and Sarah contemplated the property’s original owners’ affinity for Europe, considering the 16th century Italian, French, English and Spanish touches that form the Mansion’s foundation. Drawing inspiration from the property’s distinctive physical elements including the cathedral doors, carved fireplace mantles, intricate paneling, cantilevered staircase and stained-glass windows, all anchored by the iconic quatrefoil motifs found around the buildings and grounds, the sisters embarked on a lengthy process to finalize the boot’s design and build, ultimately settling on two unique styles to accommodate the preferences of both male and female clientele.
Exuding a chic yet playful aesthetic, the women’s boot boasts a cascade of the quatrefoil emblems dressed in shades of terracotta and rust – reminiscent of the Mansion’s façade – and inlayed in crème kidskin, complemented by a vamp and collar made of luxe cognac Nile belly crocodile. Ear pulls replicating the quatrefoils found on the plaster ceiling of the original Mansion’s iconic library complete the design. For the men’s boot Nile belly crocodile again composes the vamp, which is set against tonal cognac shaft uppers featuring classic western crème colored stitching and ear pulls decorated with the signature quatrefoil shape. Comprehensive crème piping, which is indicative of custom-made boots, contributes an added layer of contrast.
At the Rios of Mercedes factory in South Texas, artisans with decades of experience hand make every pair of boots. Staring at USD $3,425, the Mansion Boot takes up to six months to hand craft. Guests may browse and purchase the Mansion Boot or add their own custom elements to the frame on mironcrosby.com.
“A fellow Dallas institution that radiates relaxed glamour, Miron Crosby represents the pinnacle of authentic Texas style, and we’re thrilled to be working with the brand and its inspired founders to bring a new and unique fashion experience to our guests and global community,” said Andrea Gates, Managing Director of Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. “Through detailed design and expert workmanship, The Mansion Boot beautifully reflects the spirit of our storied property. We’re proud to present this new keepsake for visitors and friends and an opportunity for them to take a little piece of the hotel home, to be enjoyed long after their stay comes to a close.”
The Mansion Boot builds upon the hotel’s existing relationship with Miron Crosby first established in conjunction with Rosewood Limited Edition, a collection of giftable, one-of-a-kind travel experiences from the brand’s ultra-luxury properties across the globe. As part of the program, Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek collaborated with Miron Crosby to develop a VIP excursion around Texas inclusive of a custom boot crafting session with the sisters and an overnight stay at the Means’ family cattle ranch.
“Growing up in West Texas, we have always felt a strong sense of community and comradery that we’ve carried with us throughout our professional and personal lives,” said Lizzie Means Duplantis, Cofounder of Miron Crosby. “We are thrilled to form such a dynamic partnership with Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek, a brand that shares our pride and affection for Dallas.”
