Yes. Wild Wool Australia is as a sister company to UGG SINCE 1974.Since Deckers Outdoor Corporation trademarked the word UGG, this has meant that nobody can use the word UGG outside of Australia. UGG SINCE 1974 is strictly operated only in Australia, so Wild Wool Australia was born to introduce genuine Australian made Sheepskin boots to the rest of the world, considering the UGG brand outside of Australia is not Australian made at all. This is also why we call our boots 'sheepskin boots' rather than UGG boots as explained below; UGG (sometimes also known as UGG Australia) is owned by an American company, Deckers Outdoor Corporation, and their boots are mass produced in several Asian countries including China and Vietnam. Interestingly, UGG has no real connection to Australia. This company trademarked the term “ugg” in 130+ countries around the world despite the fact that "ugg" has been used as a generic term for sheepskin boots in Australia since the 1960’s. Australian companies fought and reverted the trademark for use of the word "ugg" in Australia. However due to the the expense of litigation and different rules about trademarking, Deckers Outdoor Corporation currently retains the trademark in other countries.
