A dark narrow hole leading into the side of a steep hill was accidentally discovered by William Merkel and John Gehret while they were blasting for limestone on a Sunday morning, November 12, 1871.

After the smoke cleared and the surrounding dirt was removed, they realized that the opening was large enough to enter.

Curiosity led them inside, but total darkness and fear of the unknown kept them from going any further...

One slow, summer afternoon - somewhere in-between my next flight and a load of laundry to rid of the weekly mud stains - my youngest son and I unearthed a forgotten box in the attic. We heaved the beat up cardboard container downstairs, opened the top, and poured out an archive of old photographs onto the living room floor. There they were… family heirlooms from those early days I cherished so deeply. 

“Who’s this?” my son woke me from a trance pointing to a little girl in red cowgirl boots with her blonde hair all a mess and a toy six shooter by her side.  

“That’s mom,” I answered as a smile cracked my cheeks. 

That’s me.

Holding that photograph in my hands, tears welled up in my eyes, and I remembered. I remembered who I was before feminine ideals, societal norms, and the notoriety swallowed me whole. I was a cowgirl. A cowgirl with bite, soul, and a sense of style that never failed to start a conversation. Shortly after that day, I hung my interior designer hat, closed Jack & Jill Interiors, and opened Bourbon Cowgirl - a lifestyle brand and western fashion boutique for spirited women.

 I’ve been walking the line with her ever since. & I want that same homecoming for you.

Know that here at Bourbon Cowgirl we curate an enduring collection that is just as vast as the women who wear it. From trending western wear to timeless finds and accessories; Bourbon Cowgirl is your home for stirrin’ up smoke and never going down smooth. Whether you’re getting ready for the next festival or slow dancing below the stars with your cowboy; it’s our mission to take you there - with a story to tell and in a fit that feels undeniably like you. 

 

Because every woman is wildly spirited and deserves to wear the red boots. 

 

Belly up, let us buy you a bourbon, & let’s play dress up! 

- Sherri

Once known as the “Venice of the South,” Tarpon Springs was named for the abundant fish found off its coast and is hailed as the “Sponge Capital of the World.” The oldest town in Pinellas County, Tarpon Springs is located along the Anclote River where it intersects with the Gulf of Mexico. Past Indian history in this beautiful coastal community dates back to the 1800s with the arrival of the first settlers

Soon after, the advent of the railroad and the building of the Anclote Key Lighthouse brought many positive changes to the area; wealthy Northerners flocked here creating a winter haven, while numerous fishing vessels navigated city waters. Industrious entrepreneurs improved the city’s economy and reputation with the harvesting of sponges. The Greek immigrants, who came to the area to continue their traditional trade of sponge diving, greatly enriched the city’s cultural composition with their customs and families.

Since 1977 Plum Bottom has delighted women with a curated collection of fashionable and comfortable shoes when Carla's parents--Joe and Sharon Correale--decided to open their first store on Court Street in Harrisburg. Women would flock to Joe's store for his personality, style and shoes, of course! 

Carla and Andrea picked up the reigns of the business in 2015.  Both had already been working at Plum Bottom for over a decade and had inherited Joe's dedication and love of the business.

We carry a wide range of styles from comfy and casual to dressy and spectacular to satisfy all of our customer's needs. With sizes ranging from 5-11 in a variety of widths, we have something to fit every foot. 

Each pair is selected with our discerning customers in mind because we know that you are looking for something unique. You'll recognize many of our brands, but some may surprise you.  Plum Bottom's shoes are sourced from all over the world, but the characteristics that define them all are quality, great style, and excellent fit. 

As a women-owned business, we understand that buying shoes should be a fun experience! At our brick and mortar stores in Harrisburg and Camp Hill, PA we offer outstanding customer service.  We understand our customers because we ARE our customers.  We know that you want to feel as good as you look in your shoes, so we endeavor to find a collection that will marry those two desires.
