Beek announced its first private label boot collection with renowned interior designer and fashion enthusiast Leanne Ford. The collection forges Ford’s creative vision with Beek’s expertise in making beautiful leather footwear that never compromises comfort.
With a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and a philosophy of intentional design, Ford worked with long-time friends and Beek founders Birgit Klett and Kenna Florie to design each boot in the collection. The result seamlessly blends Ford’s earthy, modern, minimalist aesthetic with Beek’s premium materials and comfort. True to all Beek footwear, each pair is handcrafted from the highest-quality, buttery-soft leather and constructed with a focus on thoughtful details, longevity and wearability.
“I’ve always been a boots girl—I wear them every day, all day. Designing my own boot collection has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I’ve known Beek founders Birgit and Kenna since my 20s, back when I was working as a fashion stylist and creative director, so partnering with them felt both incredibly natural and truly full circle,” said Ford. “When it comes to clothing and footwear, comfort is nonnegotiable. Beek makes the most comfortable shoes I own, and that foundation allowed us to create something that feels as good as it looks. Every detail in this collection was designed with intention, from the silhouette and feel underfoot to the earthy, lived-in color palette I’m always drawn to.”
“We’ve known Leanne for over 20 years, so helping her design this boot collection was such a fun full-circle moment,” said Klett and Florie. “Her style is amazing, her attitude is contagious, and her laugh keeps us rolling. She’s just as fun and energetic as she was back in our fashion days, and we couldn’t be happier, or more flattered, that she came to us to create her very first footwear collection.”
