| Diamond 57 Originals As seen on Good Day Oregon! |  |
The Diamond 57 Cowboy Boot Purse is the original design by Sue Roake of Gresham, Oregon. I created this unique bag when my husband had an accident and could no longer wear his boots. I thought what a shame to have these hand crafted boots just sitting in the closet when we’ve had such wonderful adventures while wearing our boots! I was able to preserve those memories in a useful, creative and stylish way. Each boot has a tale to tell in where it’s been and what it has endured! Some came from the easy life of the dance floor, others are hard worked cowhide straight from the ranch. Each purse is made from authentic all leather vintage cowboy boots. The handle is also made from working stock, all leather belt, embellished with silver, crystals(riveted on) and western buckles. Every bag is guaranteed workmanship, however, all are enhanced with it’s own story to tell, from the scar from the barbed wire fence or a possible scuff from the hard wood floors they once graced. Each purse is an original, signed and numbered by me!
Each purse is a one of a kind, branded with diamond 57, signed and numbered.
If you don't see exactly what you want, email me and I can make something special for you. I can also take your boots, belts, buckles and make them a treasured family heirloom. On most purses I can change conchos and some I can change the handle if you want it shorter or a different type of handle.To order contact Sue Roake directly. sue@bebopusa.com 503-663-9697 See payment options below.
