• The famous story: 'ugg' is a generic word in Australia — the American 'UGG' (Deckers) brand you know is NOT Australian-made. Genuine local makers include UGG Australian Made Since 1974, Emu Australia and this Melbourne workshop.
• Look for 'Made in Australia from Australian sheepskin' on the label — many tourist-strip 'uggs' are Chinese-made from cheaper skins.
• At ~A$159-215 (minus 10% TRS) you get a genuinely Australian-made boot for less than the imported US brand costs anywhere.
• Emu Australia's Platinum (Australian-made) line is the other safe bet if you want a branded alternative.
