First Look: The Koolaburra Spring / Summer Collection

Posted by Vera On March - 9 - 2010

Koolaburra introduces their premier Spring/Summer collection of luxury sandals and boots for 2010. Filled with new silhouettes that complement and crossover between their famed sheepskin boot collections, styles stay true to Koolaburra’s boho meets rocker chic heritage.

In the collection you’ll find luxurious materials such as top grain leathers, Spanish merino wool sheepskin, and oiled suede accented of and lined with sheepskin and leather. Runway ready and sunny sidewalk friendly for women everywhere, fans of Koolaburra will take cues from our inspiration of all things glam: mixing Studio 54 spangles with CGBG black eyeliner. As a crucial part of the brand’s music maverick look, sheepskin sings a duet with fringe, feather and stud embellishments. Colors stay true to the sound with jet black and natural browns alongside grays, representing the colors for living between dusk and dawn.
