Lucchese The Global Guardian of Luxury Western Craftsmanship and American Heritage Founded in 1883 by Salvatore Lucchese and headquartered in El Paso, Texas, Lucchese is the premier luxury Western lifestyle anchor for elite High-Street corridors and the prestige wings of Tier-1 Malls. Entering 2026, the brand has successfully transitioned from a regional icon to a global luxury house, as evidenced by its strategic 2025/2026 debut at Bergdorf Goodman on New York’s Fifth Avenue. Under the leadership of Chairman John Muse and President Doug Hogue, Lucchese is executing an aggressive "Metropolitan Luxury" strategy, maintaining over 30 physical boutiques nationwide. The 2026 retail model—recently expanded with high-profile openings in Atlanta (Buckhead) and Bozeman, MT—emphasizes a "Bespoke Theater" experience. These spaces serve as immersive design studios where affluent consumers collaborate with master bootmakers on custom-constructed exotic footwear. For landlords and developers, Lucchese offers a "Trophy" tenant profile with exceptionally high transactional values (averaging $800–$1,200+ per unit) and a unique ability to bridge rugged Western authenticity with Manhattan-level sophistication, attracting a high-net-worth demographic to premium lifestyle centers and mixed-use developments.
