It’s fall, y’all. Temperatures are starting to cool off in the early mornings and late evenings, and we couldn’t be happier to pull out our fall wardrobes.

This month, look to a local star introducing some totally comfy hoodies, a fine jewelry collection launch, trunk shows, shopping for a cause for breast cancer awareness, and more.

A first for the brand, the fine jewelry collection is a nod to her Texas roots and serves as an elevated extension to her current line.

Exiza
As CultureMap was first to report, Reagan Bregman launched her ethical athleisure line mid-August with a core collection of pieces designed to feel like a second skin. Recently, she launched a limited-edition hoodie in two colors, light blue and cream. The oversized fit features, “Love Yourself” on the back, which Bregman says is what the brand stands for: activity as a form of self-care, loving yourself, and the skin you are in.

Jardín
Houstonians can now eat, sip, and shop at one of Montrose’s favorite neighborhood dining destinations. Jardín is a newly opened boutique and flower shop located at 2608 Dunlavy St. Owners Dan Fergus, Isabel Wilson, Holly Hughes, and Emily Chambers aim to bring a diverse set of products, including home décor, apparel, and floral arrangements.

Kendra Scott
This month, Texas-based jewelry brand Kendra Scott is donating 20 percent from purchases from her breast cancer suite items. Scott is also donating 50 percent from the purchase of the breast cancer charms, up to a total gift of $150,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Fund (BCRF).

In October 2016, Scott lost her dear friend to metastatic breast cancer, and ever since, she has been on a mission to support research for a cure. To date, Scott has donated more than $800,000 to BCRF, of which shoppers have helped raise $507,148.

La Vie Style House
The Dallas-based luxury caftan and wrap brand is set to open its first Houston boutique this month. Located in the swanky River Oaks District, the caftans are handmade in the U.S. The strong craftsmanship and luxe details in the caftans are loved by celebs like Katy Perry and Chrissy Teigen.

Stepping up

Texas bootmaker strikes a glossy note with the debut of new patent line

Miron Crosby reimagines its signature Maggie boot in high-gloss patent leather for a polished update.

Cowboy boots are based in tradition, but Miron Crosby continues to find ways to move the conversation forward. The Dallas-based label’s latest release, the Maggie Patent Collection, debuts a new material to its signature lineup while staying true to the workmanship that built its following.

The brand’s best-selling Maggie boot is now available in a high-gloss patent leather. Although the new finish changes the silhouette's tone, delivering a more fashion-forward take on Western footwear, the boot’s structure remains the same.

“Maggie is such a classic, flattering shape, so even when you introduce something like a patent, it still feels timeless at its core,” co-founder Sarah Means Ward tells CultureMap.

When designing the boot, the sisters were careful not to lean into trends. They focused on letting the material enhance the boot rather than redefine it. “We wanted it to feel elevated and refined instead of overly flashy,” says Ward.

Texas has strong roots and ideas about Western wear, and introducing patent leather into a heritage category can come with risks. The sisters approached the new collection with a respect for tradition as their foundation.

“The craftsmanship, the construction, the way the boot fits and feels, those elements are non-negotiable,” Duplantis says. “From there, it’s about evolving the design in a way that still feels authentic.”

The look was first tested in 2019 when Miron Crosby worked with Prabal Gurung on a limited run of patent boots for his runway show. That collaboration allowed Miron Crosby to explore new materials, something the brand has continued to build on. With Maggie Patent, that early concept was refined into a boot designed for daily wear, not just for the runway.

“It showed us that something as unexpected as patent leather can feel completely natural in a Western silhouette when it’s approached thoughtfully,” says co-founder Lizzie Means Duplantis.

The collection is available at their River Oaks boutique, in three colorways: Beurre, Sable, and Transformative Teal, which were influenced by materials seen at the 2025 Lineapelle show in Milan.

“The patent leathers had this incredible richness that made us think about color in a different way,” Ward says.

The sisters chose colors that were naturally approachable. Neutral tones like Beurre and Sable are great for everyday wear, while Transformative Teal offers a statement moment. “Some days (our customer) wants something understated, other days she wants something that stands out,” says Duplantis. “This was about giving her both.”
