I have known the J.W. Cooper store for a long time as it's actually one of my trendy husband's favorite stores when it comes to unique cowboy boots and fabulous belt buckles. Every time we visit Miami, J.W. Cooper is one of our mandatory stops.

Entering the store is like traveling back to the wild wild West. Every shoe and accessory in the store is one of a kind and hand selected byTodd Rauchwerger, the owner. Todd travels the globe in search of the best artisans to  provide unique, quality products, exclusively (of course) to the store.

The result is a magnificent collection of over 500 handcrafted buckles in silver, gold, carved stones -- even prehistoric mammoth tusks. He also carries hand crafted boots made with the softest and most supple farm raised alligator skin in the world.

What I love most about the experience is hearing Todd tell the story behind each and every pair of boots (or anything else that he carries in the store, really).  His passion and enthusiasm are absolutely contagious.

(ALL THE ALLIGATOR SKINS COME FROM FARM RAISED ANIMALS.) 

Arent' these boots fabulous ?
