Chili’s has partnered with western footwear brand Tecovas to launch the limited-edition 'Booth Boots,' a collection of handcrafted cowboy boots and accessories inspired by the brand’s iconic red restaurant booths. The collaboration merges nostalgic diner design with Tecovas’ signature western craftsmanship, resulting in a bold and fashion-forward product line.
Releasing on July 29, the collection includes both men’s and women’s boots, each priced at $345. The women’s style, based on 'Tecovas’ Annie' silhouette, features a tall profile, snip toe, and tonal chili pepper stitching. The men’s design draws from the 'Garrett' boot and incorporates detailed pull tab overlays with similar stitching elements. The collection also includes the $75 'Booth Belt,' a handcrafted accessory with matching stitching and a matte nickel brass buckle.
This limited-edition offering will be available exclusively through Tecovas while supplies last and is expected to draw significant interest from fans of both brands.
