# Boutique Winter Boots The 'Blue Chocolate' Colette Sorel Caribou Collaboration By Tiana Reid | Published 2010-07-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colette-sorel-caribou References: [freshnessmag](http://www.freshnessmag.com/2010/07/12/colette-x-sorel-caribou-boots/) & [colette.fr](http://www.colette.fr/) The Colette Sorel Caribou collaboration is a landmark in winter wear. The Canadian brand Sorel makes winter boots designed for trekking through snow in -40 Celsius degree weather. As a student at a university in Montreal, I know bad winters and live for my Sorels in the dark days in February. Now, these special edition Colette Sorel Caribou boots, which are dubbed "blue chocolate," have combined Parisian flair to the practical shoes. While many of us may not be thinking of winter right now, it's time to think fast as Colette will only be selling 50 pairs of this limited edition footwear. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Winter Wear:** Incorporate luxury materials and unique designs to winter wear items to appeal to fashion-forward consumers in colder climates. - **Limited Edition Collaborations:** Partner with unique brands to create limited edition collaborations that appeal to niche markets and capture consumer attention. - **Weatherproof Footwear:** Design footwear that can withstand extreme weather conditions and market to consumers in regions with harsh winter climates. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Incorporate luxury materials and unique designs to winter wear items to appeal to fashion-forward consumers in colder climates. - **Retail:** Partner with unique brands to create limited edition collaborations that appeal to niche markets and capture consumer attention. - **Outdoor Gear:** Design footwear that can withstand extreme weather conditions and market to consumers in regions with harsh winter climates. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernized Legacy Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorel-caribou.md) - [Canadian-Made Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mara-suede-womens-heritage-pullon-boot.md) - [Canadian-Inspired Winter Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadianinspired-winter-boot.md) - [Comfortable Canadian Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-winter-boots.md) - [Winter Boot Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-adidas-x-moon-boot.md) - [Stylish Wedge Winter Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedge-collections.md) - [Technical Collaborative Cover Boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coverboot.md) - [Utility Streetwear Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sorel-x-aries.md) - [Magical Chunky Boot Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mattias-gollin-x-moon-boot-flakes-capsule.md)
