UGG SINCE 1974
GENUINE | EXPLAINED
IS
UGG SINCE 1974 GENUINE?
IN SHORT, YES!
1
Location
Australian made
Genuine Australian Uggs are 100% handmade in Australia, as they have been for over 50 years where they originated in the 70s
2
Proof
sew in label
The sew in label will say 'Made in Australia'. Generally, the sew in label in the boots of other brands will reveal that they were manufactured in Asia. PS. If there is no sew in label, they are unlikely to be Australian made.

Materials
sheepskin type
Genuine Australian Uggs should be handmade using A-Grade double faced Merino Sheepskin. Why? Check our blog here. Most ugg boots are now being crafted from a synthetic fur designed to imitate sheepskin, but in reality, the fur is made from a mix of wool and lyocell.
Shopping Outside Australia?
EXCLUSIVE TO AUSTRALIA
Did you know you cannot buy Australian made Uggs outside of Australia under the name 'UGG'? Yup, there's a difference between UGG® & UGG Since 1974. Why? Find out here in our blog!
UGG Since 1974 is a 3rd generation, Australian family owned and operated family business. We have proudly been hand making Uggs here in Australia, well, Since 1974 and we love our craft! If you are shopping from outside Australia, you’ll be receiving the same 100% sheepskin, Australian made boots, but they’ll be made with our limited edition Since 74 logo. Due to trademark issues, we are unable to send UGG Since 1974 boots outside Australia and New Zealand.
Shopping Within Australia?
DO TELL ME
Don't be fooled, not all Uggs sold here in Australia are Australian made. The Australian made tag can be used when the product underwent its last substantial transformation in Australia, regardless of the origin, so always check the sew in label inside the boot leg to be sure it was 100% made here in Australia.
Unfortunately just because it is called an Ugg boot,
it doesn't mean they are necessarily Australian anymore.
If you didn't know any of this, then we cannot wait to hand make what might just be your very first pair of Australian made Ugg boots!
