An interesting economic situation..........what next?

This years buying season has been somewhat interesting with prices for raw sheepskin material going up by about 50% to 65%. Needless to say, it has put the challenge on tanneries worldwide to prepare clients for this news. "Interestingly enough our clients understand the economics of this and we now await the impact from consumers. The success of UGG boots has made supply scarce hence pushing prices for raw material up........" says Kerry Greene, Marketing Manager for Bowron Sheepskins. We are announcing our new prices in the New Year, which will apply to our subsidiary companies worldwide. If you have any thoughts on this price shift and what you predict will happen in the future please blog with us......
