Win a Pair of Wuggs
Wuggs are made from the skins of wallaby processed in Tasmania for meat. We hope they will help realise a vision of a farming enterprise based on the animals that belong here, the animals adapted to our land. Turning the skins into high quality and sustainable fashion is another step in realising that vision.

Sustainable eco-friendly food and fashion alternative
Wallaby emit almost no methane, making our products a carbon free alternative. An independent analysis of our carbon output suggest wallaby meat is possibly the lowest carbon protein available to Tasmanian’s.
There are over 3 million wallabies in Tasmania and their population is increasing. Less than 2% of the population are harvested per year, doing so helps farmers reduce the impact of large numbers of wallaby on their enterprises and ensures the products are utilised rather than wasted.

Wuggs have a sustainable sole
Tasmanian wallabies have a digestive system that produces almost no methane, meaning Wuggs can be purchased with a carbon-free conscience. The CSIRO has for many years been attempting to find out why wallaby emit so little methane and transfer the capacity to cattle, we’d prefer to utilise the wallaby instead for meat, and turn their skins into the most comfortable boots you can imagine.
Wallaby Skin Ugg Boots - a by product of our food harvesting
The wallaby skins used in our ugg boots are harvested and processed for meat under a Tasmanian government license, ensuring that the wallaby population remains sustainable for future generations. By turning the skins into these luxurious ugg boots, we reduce waste and contribute to a uniquely Tasmanian, sustainable food and fashion industry. Experience the ultimate in comfort and sustainability with our Tasmanian Wallaby Fur Ugg Boots - designed for those who live and breathe in balance with our planet.

The Wuggs Story
We’re John and Katrina Kelly and Sally Bruen. Thirty years ago we set out to establish a business producing food from the animals which belong here, which are adapted to our land and to which it is adapted. Katrina and John are both from old farming stock, but we wanted to explore a more sustainable way of producing food in this land. So, we started producing meat from super-abundant Tasmanian wallaby. It’s been rather successful, and Australian’s have shown wide support for the idea that it makes great environmental wisdom producing food from the animals which belong in this land. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do and Wuggs are the latest testament to our commitment to the environment.
