Known as sheepskin boots from Australia, UGG boots have been in vogue for decades. Historically, UGG sheepskin boots were worn by pilots to keep their feet as warm as possible in high altitude during World War I and surfers who loved to wear UGG on the beach after they surfed in cold waters. It is believed that UGG boots have been gradually known to the world since these airmen and surfers carrying their UGG boots to travel around. And now UGG devotees encompass a vast variety of people. Genuine UGG boots are actually the footwear made by Deckers Outdoor Cooperation, called “UGG Australia” boots. The trademarked UGG boots lifeline goes back to 1971 when Ugg-N-Rugs, the family-owned manufacturer and retailer of the now-trendy westernized boots, made and sold this boot. Originally, surfers used these boots post-surf, and UGG were more of a sock-with no sole. Surfers and beach dwellers called them ugly boots, ughs or ugs for short. It wasn’ t until Ugg-N-Rugs sold the boot to Deckers Outdoor Company in 2003 that the boots came overseas. Nowadays UGG has produced a dazzling array of snow boots, casual shoes, sandals and a variety of seasonal sheepskin footwear. However, the traditional distinctive ugg styles like UGG classic tall and UGG classic short with the top that can be folded either up or down is still hugely popular in multi-hues. And UGG Australian are still manufacturing a vast range of different UGG styles. Men and children are also not left out.

Fortuna Bangladesh is ready to expand operations in the footwear industry by increasing its production capacity and establishing the country’s first shoe mould manufacturing factory by September. We have invested Tk 56 crore (Tk 560 Million) initially in setting up the new factories and importing high-tech machinery. The factory has been set up in Kunia, Gazipur, to expand our state-of-the-art shoe manufacturing facility to produce 6,000 pairs of shoes a day from the current capacity of 2,500 pairs. The new factory is likely to start operations by September and will produce footwear mainly for the international market, although we also have plans to tap into the local market. We expect to earn foreign currency worth Tk 200 crore (Tk 2000 Million) a year once we start exporting footwear. Buyers from China come to Bangladesh as their cost of labor is increasing. Many European buyers are also taking advantage of the duty-free export facility to the EU as an additional 16. 5 percent tax is levied on footwear exports from China. Nowadays, many countries, like China and India, are failing to produce high quality but low-cost leather items because of the WTO antidumping rules. So, orders from Germany, Italy, France, Japan and Canada are increasingly shifting to the local manufacturers in Bangladesh.
