The Long Tassel is the boot that launched it all, and its beginnings, like PC’s are anchored in the balance between form and function.

25 years ago, Penelope, a keen horse rider and living in Barcelona, would often head up into the hills above the city, to ride on her lunch break. Here she saw lots of Spanish riders wearing longer style, soft leather, Spanish riding boots. Intrigued by their style she approached a local artisan cobbler to commission a pair of her own.

Designing the boot to her own specifications - a taller fit, and closer to the ankle, some scallop detailing, and a tassel zip - a few weeks later, Penelope picked up her handmade boots and has never put them down since.

‘The softness of the leather, the depth of the craftsmanship and the elegance of the cut, made me realise these boots were something special. Not just because they were stylish and well made, but because you could really ride off into the sunset with them. They were the ultimate go anywhere, do anything boots.’

Since then, these boots have become a core part of our much-loved Heritage collection. Inspired by a healthy outdoors lifestyle, travel, adventure, they’re also a firm favourite of HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, who’s been wearing the Long Tassel Boot in Conker since 2004, testament to the fact that these boots are timeless and made to last.

Their quintessentially British aesthetic weaves in Spanish heritage with hand-punched detailing, long length tassels and tough cowhide leather. Moreover, the natural vegetable-dyed colours are the epitome of luxury and will improve over time, just like a fine wine. Whilst our Goodyear™ welt rubber tread soles works for all-terrain wear and the style is available in two lengths alongside in our slim fit and generous widths to ensure a snug style.
