Kristen Decker (Founder & CEO): The visionary behind Desert Bloom: DESERT BLOOM is not just making boots; we’re making a statement. DESERT BLOOM was born from a love of timeless cowgirl style and a refusal to settle for anything less than bold, sustainable, and built to last.
Our boots are crafted from BIO RECOS a premium bio-leather made from wheat and corn. It’s just as tough, beautiful, and ready-for-anything as traditional leather, but way kinder to the planet.
We’re here to kick fast fashion off its high horse and ride toward something better. Boots that carry the spirit of the cowgirl, the grit of the outlaw, and the heart of sustainability.
This is more than a brand. It’s a movement. So, pull on your DESERT BLOOM boots, join the ride, and let’s raise a little dust while we change the game.
I love the WILD AGAVE SADDLE, fits well look wonderful I am very happy to wear it in winter in New York, it seems like a solid saddle, wear. You don’t have to polish it, you just run a wet cloth and it cleans it well. I highly recommend it.
