Published by Natasha Marchev · 23 hrs · I want you all please to listen to my story... the story is about the Ugly Boots...
The history tells that in 70-s hippies and bohemian style people leaved the suburbs for the Australian bush. They made the boots as part of their wardrobe. The boots were made out of animal skins that were quiet primitive. They looked so ordinary that the people started calling them Ugly Boots, or Uggs
We were lucky enough to meet with the owners and manufactures (since 1982) of this famous brand UGG Australia . Luda, who runs the business has very kind eyes and shared not only the history of her "baby" , she also told us about the quality, the skin itself and the variety of animals used in their products, We found out what is made at the factory for men, women and children, what are the current trends and marketing and selling concepts, how the skin and fur is protected from the weather conditions, what is in fashion (Chanel and Dior like vests and bags) ,the list of celebrities who wore the products during this years, what is comfortable and why, what is the difference with the other brands from overseas, how the health of the animal and the environment are important for the high quality of the final produce and much more. We were shown the home accessories and bedding (including the quilts made out of 40 fox skins that cost around $3000) . We investigated the far corners of the factory and were shown the process from the skins receiving to the ready to wear slippers and shoes. We were introduced to the "veterans" of the industry who have been working at the factory for the last 30 years and to the apprentices who just started to learn the trade.
Luda's knowledge in the business is vast and bottomless. She loves what she does with all her heart. We got small gifts and arranged our next projects with the owners who trust our skills and vision. Please stay tuned and see what we will have to show you..
My favorite products so far: fox tails for the bags and wallets for luck and money, boots with the fox fur upper parts, winter hat design called Natalie (of course!) , Chanel-like vest, Swarovski half boots, various fashion bags and jewelry... do I have to tell you more? We asked: can we buy everything and got the positive answer. I get the cash ready for the nest trip to the location.
There was only one thing missing at the factory's super shop in Brunswick - YOU! But hopefully you will make it there soon to see what to buy for Christmas for your family and friends. This works only in case my photos and my story convinced you...
