Perfect for trekking through the snow — or for fleeing from paparazzi, as the case may be — Koolaburra's warm, plush footwear lives up to its tag line: "sheepskin redefined." Based in sunny Santa Barbara, California (not the most obvious locale for an uggs designer, we admit!), Koolaburra sources its fine women's boots and shoes from craftsmen based in Spain, China, Portugal, and Australia. Fringes, crystal-studded peace signs, woven leather accents, and other eye-catching embellishments distinguish Koolaburras from other classic sheepskin boots. For those who enjoy Santa Barbara-like climates year-round, Koolaburra makes suede-and-snakeskin booties, sleek midcalf boots, and couture sneakers featuring dyed leather, Velcro straps, and punk-rock metal studs. The brand has proven so popular with the rich and famous that its website boasts a “shop by celebrity” feature where one can find A-listers Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson and others sporting their Koolaburras around Hollywood.
