L.L. Bean Signature Spring/Summer 2011 Boots


L.L. Bean sees itself moving into the second season from their offshoot line, the ‘Signature Collection‘. The spring/summer ’11 lineup sees the addition of two styles in the footwear category, the Handsewn Wedge Sole Moc and the Cepe Sole Moc Boot. Both feature 7-hole height and moc toes, with the wedge sole moc hand made in Maine, hence the $350 price tag compared to the Crepe at $179. I have always found the focal point of the Signature collection to be the footwear styles, and these two new additions solidify my thought.

The first two offerings from the Signature collection are looking solid, I can’t wait to see what else is to come…
