Kendra Scott, the company best known for its jewelry and single-pendant necklaces, is becoming the latest retailer to join the Western wear trend.
The company on Wednesday announced its debut boots collection in an expansion outside of the accessories market. The brand will offer three styles, available in men’s and women’s, as part of the Yellow Rose by Kendra Scott line focused on Western style.
“A lot of folks don’t know, but in the other half of my life, I take my heels off in the boardroom, and I throw my boots on and head to my ranch,” founder Kendra Scott told CNBC.
Scott, who lives in Texas, said she grew up incorporating Western wear from denim to cowboy boots into her everyday style, in what she calls a “beautiful, timeless, classic look.” Slowly, Scott said she saw the trend take hold across the globe.
“I’m sitting here going, well, this is my life everyday. This is authentically who I am and what I do,” Scott said. “I also noticed that there were a lot of Western brands out there that put cowboy first, and then they later think about the girl ... so I was really excited to create a brand that put cowgirl front and center, but make it more modern.”
