THE BILLIE BLACK

The Billie is the Chelsea boot you reach for when you want something familiar — but not predictable. Clean and classic at first glance, it’s defined by its subtly squared, softly rounded toe that adds just enough character to elevate the silhouette. That small shift in shape gives the boot a sharper presence, making it feel considered rather than basic. Easy to wear, easy to style, and equally at home on city streets as on countryside walks, The Billie is a true everyday problem-solver — polished without trying too hard.  The higher shaft makes The Billie easy to style with skirts and dresses, and leaves no gap between the boot and the trouser.

Like all Blankens shoes, The Billie is designed in Stockholm and made in a small, family-run factory in Portugal. It’s crafted using responsibly sourced European leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group with a Gold rating. The leather is chosen for its durability and ability to age beautifully, ensuring a boot that holds its shape, comfort, and character over time — season after season.

Team Blankens loves The Billie for how it quietly does the job of many shoes at once. Designed by women, for women, it’s born from our own need for a boot that works across days, moods, and settings. It brings structure to relaxed outfits, sharpens simple looks, and feels reliable enough to wear on repeat. A favorite when you want something classic — but still unmistakably Blankens.

 The upper is crafted from black leather with a soft, slightly matte finish that highlights the natural variations in the hide, giving each pair depth and individuality. The toe has a refined, squared shape with rounded edges, adding a modern twist to the traditional Chelsea boot. Elastic side panels ensure easy entry and a comfortable, flexible fit, while a pull tab at the back adds both function and a subtle branded detail. Set on a sturdy rubber sole with a low, practical sole, The Billie offers grip, stability, and everyday durability.
