About BOHEMA
BOHEMA is a Polish family brand founded in 2018 by Sebastian and Wioletta Szypula. Every pair is handcrafted in our Kolbuszowa atelier (southern Poland) by Sebastian's parents: Edward, master shoemaker with 30 years of experience, assembles each pair; Halina, seamstress, hand-sews the uppers from plant-based leather. Three generations, one workshop, small batches.
Care
Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply the plant-leather cream included with every order over €200 every 2-3 months. Air dry away from direct sun or heat. Store with shoe trees or rolled paper inside to keep shape.
Sizing & Fit
BOHEMA uses European sizing 35-42. True to size for most feet. If between sizes, size up half — plant-based leather softens with wear but does not stretch significantly.

Questions about this product
What material are the BOHEMA Tiger Chelsea Black Boots made from?
The Tiger Chelsea Black Boots are made from plant-based leather, a vegan alternative to animal leather. BOHEMA uses innovative materials such as cactus leather (Desserto) and grape leather (Vegea) in their collections, crafted into footwear handmade in Poland at craft workshops. The result is a durable, stylish boot with no animal products involved.
Are the BOHEMA Tiger Chelsea Black Boots true to size, and do they suit narrow or wide feet?
BOHEMA designs its Chelsea boots with a tailored fit suited to standard to slightly narrow foot widths. If you have wide feet or a high instep, the elastic side panels on the Chelsea silhouette offer some flexibility and ease of entry, but those with very wide feet may want to size up by half a size. Always check BOHEMA's size guide and compare your foot length in centimetres for the most accurate fit.
What occasions are the Tiger Chelsea Black Boots suitable for?
The Tiger Chelsea Black Boots are a versatile everyday staple. Their sleek black plant-based leather finish makes them suitable for casual outings, city walks, office wear, and smart-casual events. They pair well with slim jeans, tailored trousers, midi skirts, or dresses, making them a go-to choice across seasons.
How do I care for BOHEMA plant-based leather Chelsea boots?
Plant-based leather requires gentle care. Wipe the boots with a soft damp cloth to remove dirt and avoid soaking them in water. Use a vegan-friendly conditioner or leather balm suitable for synthetic or plant-based materials to keep the surface supple. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the colour and texture of the black plant-based leather.
