The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2025 - Issue 37

biteboots city streets, dance floors, cab rides and wild weekends having fun. The boots are for women who embody confidence daily, embracing each moment with authenticity and strength. “We want the women who wear our boots to feel fearless and un- stoppable,” Alice said. Whatever the occasion, Duke’s Boots are your ride-or-dies. Designed in London and made in China, Merriman’s fashion production background honed over a decade in Shanghai is sewn into every stitch. She works with a specialist small-batch factory that fuses traditional boot-making with Asia’s most advanced production techniques. These automated processes include cutting, stitching, and sole attachment, which enhanc- es production speed and precision. They also allow seamless material sourcing, streamlined manufacturing processes and timely delivery of finished products. Duke’s Original Tall in black, bone, banana, red and white, or tan boots are crafted from Gold-rated LWG-certified leather and cut below the knee. They feature a pointed toe, signature embroidered panels, a low-angled heel, classic pull tabs, and a discreet credit-card-sized pocket stitched into the lining. The insole and lining are made from lamb kappa, while the sole is made from calf leather, with a natural leather kickback heel. So next time you want to paint the town cowboy style, think of Duke’s Boots. https://wearedukesboots.com Images courtesy of Alice Merriman
