The UGG Australia story began in 1978 when a surfer by the name of Brian Smith needed a way to keep his feet warm between waves and the UGG Classic was born. Crafted from Merino grade A sheepskin, the classic surf boot is lightweight and perfect for walking on sand. The idea caught on and today UGG boots have become a phenomenon. UGG Australia is a brand that is all about luxury and comfort for everyday life. Only the finest quality materials are used to create UGG boots and UGG shoes. UGG Australia is the largest distributor of Grade-A sheepskin. Every shoe will feel great from the moment you put it on, year after year. The UGG Australia kids collection flaunts the same style and comfort offered in the adult line. From slippers to boots to casual footwear, UGG Austraila Kids will pamper the feet of your infant, toddler or big kid. Your little one will love the feeling of sheepskin as much as you do. Although made famous by its boots, UGG Australia has extended their product line to include stylish yet elegant clothing for both adults and kids. UGG Australia has designed a vast collection of gloves, scarves, hats, and UGG coats that will wrap you in warmth against the cold winter months. When the weather heats up and warm breezes blow, you can now enjoy cute dresses, wraps and lightweight hats. Now you can accessorize your favorite outfit with not only UGG footwear but a fabulous bag too. You can travel with a tote, shop with a cross-body messenger or paint the town red with a chic clutch or wristlet. All UGG handbags are crafted with the same attention to detail that has made them the premier brand they are today. What started off as a way to keep surfers feet warm has grown to include: UGG boots, slippers, kids, clothing, bags and accessories.
