News; Outdoor uggs Christmas Gifts – They’re going to fly off the shel

In Australia, uggs boots Australian’s have been wearing sheepskin uggs boots Christmas Gifts since the Brit’s threw them off the tall ships to build their new colony. Ugg’s are so common in Australia that attempts the trademark the term Ugg Boots failed in Australia as it was descriptive of a type of boot and not a specific product.

Aussie’s love the outdoors, and despite the heat of the Australian desert, there are plenty of times of the year, and places in Australia where the warmth of natural sheepskin is a definate plus in the land downunder. Popular with the surfing crowd, the sight of a pair of uggs appearing from the side of a VW combi has been gracing the shores of Bell’s Beach since the 60’s. It was only a short journey across the pacific from Aussie beachwear to hollywood sheik-wear with female celebrity’s getting their womens uggs on such as Pamela Anderson, and magazine’s like Marie Clare, Teen Vogue and Cosmo featuring celebrity stars and starlets sporting the latest in sheepskin ugg boot fashion. In recent times mens ugg boots have come into the fray and are pretty common to be seen in the homes and on the streets of Los Angeles, New York and London.Argyle Knit Ugg Boots

The brand has introduced spring and summer lines that included sandals and beach cover-ups. Deckers is also expanding the men’s line; while most women come to UGG for boots, most men seek the brand for its slippers.

UGG, which Deckers acquired in 1995, has matured into the crown jewel of the company, outselling its Teva, Simple and other brands. Martinez says part of the demand for UGG comes down to the company’s selective distribution strategy.

“We really are careful about over-proliferating our brand,” he says. Of course the fact that there’s only so much of the prime twin-face sheepskin available to make some of the products helps, too.

What’s more, Deckers is willing to cut its losses. The Goleta, Calif.-based company put its eponymous line of loafers on hiatus in the 1990s for more than a decade and then decided to pull it.

“The Teva brand took off and there just wasn’t enough time or resources for Deckers,” Martinez says. “We tested the concept of the brand coming back, but we didn’t feel it was viable. We learned what we needed to learn and pulled away.”

Going forward, Deckers hopes worldwide growth will continue to thrive — international sales increased 37% to $46.5 million during the second quarter this year. And despite some concern of UGG-mania slowing down, Martinez says there’s a new must-have model for the fall. “The Bailey button,” he says. “They’re going to fly off the shelf.”
