Tahura Boots Company

Tahura Boots Company began as a small workshop in Bandung under Abay's direction in 2010. In the years since its founding, the company has attracted both domestic and overseas customers.

Tahura operates with a team of eight artisans at its workshop. The production rate for the shop remains in the range of 40 to 60 pairs of boots each month. Hand-lasting and hand-welting form the basis of the production process at the company.

The company uses a hand-welted Norwegian construction for its boots. The storm welt uses a two-row stitch, with a 180-degree inner stitch and a 360-degree outer stitch. Artisans at the workshop achieve a stitch density of nine stitches per inch, completed by hand.

Tahura sources leathers such as Maryam T.Morro horsebutt from Maryam Tannery in Tuscany. The leather used is vegetable-tanned and features a thermoplastic resin finish, which creates a shell cordovan-like look.

Tahura produces made-to-order boots. Customers may select from various leathers and request design changes when placing their orders. Models offered by the company include the Altilis Brogue Cap Toe, which uses Maryam T.Morro horsebutt thermoplastic resin leather, a fully lined upper, antique brass hardware, Norwegian construction, and Dr. Sole #1220 SuperGrip Full Soles. Other models listed by outside retailers include the Edulis Roofer Boots, priced at $400, the Benjamina 2 Badalassi Nemesis at $520, and the Benjamina 2 Maryam Horse Butt 1071 at $535.

Orders may be placed through the company's Instagram or via WhatsApp. The typical production time is about three months.
