behind the scenes

One of the most exciting aspects of working for Rockwell Tharp is having the privilege and honor to be able to travel to all corners of the world and hand select the raw materials to make your boots and handbags. Dreaming a design and bringing it to fruition in a step by step process is a tremendous satisfaction! 

We LOVE sharing the Behind the Scenes of how our boots are actually made. You get a sneak peek into our factories, to see the beautiful and precious people that work diligently to ensure we deliver YOU a high quality, hand crafted boot or handbag. We care about the wonderful people that work for us, as well as YOU, the amazing Ladies & Men that continue to wear and love our boots and handbags just as much as we do!

At Rockwell Tharp, we hope that wearing our boots is a magical experience for YOU. We believe it is an experience that will reveal beauty, confidence and passion. Each pair of our boots is as exquisite and beautiful as the Lady or Gentleman wearing them. We embrace passion for life and individuality and we want to share that with you.
Each boot starts as design idea. This is our Childhelp Knee High Boot going from a paper drawing to actually embroidered for the first time.

Once we have the outer materials for the boot, we then use a form to cut the leather or fabric for each specific style of boot ordered.
