Deckers took some tough ugg boots Bailey Button cheap sale decisions. Over the years, the cost of Uggs had crept up, so the company sharpened the price points back down. Deckers also cleaned up the brand¡¯s distribution channels, cutting out some independent retailers to leave a streamlined stack of quality stores, including the likes of Harrods and Selfridges, which adhere to closely managed price points. ¡°[Ugg has] been very good about keeping focus and integrity around their distribution channels so that the brand itself doesn¡¯t become too ubiquitous, it¡¯s still very much protected,¡± said Murphy.

Shoe manufacturer Hide & Feet in Newquay, Cornwall began manufacturing sheepskin boots in 1973, and in 1990 Nick Whitworth and his wife Kath bought the business and registered "UGG" as a trade mark in the UK. Due to increasing popularity and sales, in 1991 the company changed its name to "The Original Ugg Co." In 1999, Whitworth sold the company name and the British UGG trade mark to Deckers Outdoor Corporation, renaming his company the Celtic Sheepskin Company.[27]

There¡¯s a lot of opportunity in retail and e-commerce as well.¡±

¡°When you look at this company, relatively large, wholesale-oriented with a retail and e-commerce component, they have done a tremendous job of integrating all three of those channels,¡± added Murphy, who predicts that the brand¡¯s direct-to-consumer retail will grow to 50 percent of the business (the majority is currently wholesale, with direct-to-consumer accounting for about a third of the business). ¡°I think their platforms and their systems are a lot more sophisticated than that of their peers.¡±
