The artist, interior designer, and HGTV alum returns to her fashion roots with a handcrafted boot collection made by beek, marrying her effortlessly cool aesthetic with the brand’s commitment to exceptional comfort, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Luxury leather footwear brand, beek, is proud to announce its first private label boot collection with renowned interior designer and fashion enthusiast Leanne Ford. Launching exclusively on beekshop.com this September, the collection forges Leanne’s creative vision with beek’s expertise in making beautiful leather footwear that never compromises comfort. 

With a shared appreciation for craftsmanship and philosophy for intentional design, Leanne worked with long-time friends and beek founders, Birgit Klett and Kenna Florie, to design each boot in the collection. The result seamlessly blends Leanne’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 twenties, back when I was working as a fashion stylist and creative director, so partnering with them felt both incredibly natural and truly full circle.

When it comes to clothing and footwear, comfort is non-negotiable. 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.”
— Leanne Ford

“We’ve known Leanne for over twenty years, so helping her design this boot collection was SUCH a fun full-circle moment. 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.” 
— Birgit & Kenna

The collection, retailing from $395 – $450, will be available in September 2026 on beekshop.com.
