They may be big, ugly, and make you look like you’ve got plants pots for legs but they’re still as popular as ever. The Ugg is back on top of the Christmas list for 2008.
Blighty’s more shopping wars and central heating than Arctic winds and frozen tundra so we’re not really in need of 100% lamb’s wool boots to keep out the perma frost. That, it seems, doesn’t matter.
When Ugg opened their first European store in Westfield a few weeks ago they had to limit the shop floor to a one in/one out customer policy to prevent violence and mobbing. When the Covent Garden shop opened a month later they had to do something similar. You can’t argue with that.
Whatever your thoughts on Australia’s biggest export, bar Neighbours and Home and Away, there’s no denying their popularity.
So if you’re after a pair don’t go to Westfield or Covent Garden, get them online and avoid the queues/fights/burly security guards.
