Sheepskin Products--Retail

As the name suggests sheepskin products are products made out of sheepskin. There is a wide range of products to be found made out of sheepskin, particularly in Australia, where sheep are grazed and in abundance. Such products include car seat covers, accessories, bike seat covers, medical products such as specialist rugs, wheelchair accessories and jackets. Sheepskin is popular for footwear products, particularly slippers, as well as the very popular ugg boot and moccasins.

There are specialist retailers that deal only in sheep skin products, and some provide a custom-made service for individuals requiring specialist sizes or with particular needs. Some of the more well-known sheepskin brands are Clobber and Bowron. As well as specialist retailers, there are sheepskin wholesalers which provide ready-made sheepskin products, which can be custom-made for particular oversees and domestic markets.

In Australia sheepskin products and retailers form a significant part of the tourist market, and there are a number of tourist attractions which sell sheepskin products as souvenirs, as well as providing tours and demonstrations on the production of sheepskin products, and the shearing of sheep, preparation of skin, and development and production of sheepskin rugs, covers and other accessories.
