Canterbury Sheepskin is proudly made in New Zealand by Canterbury Leather International Ltd our company that was established way back in 1974. has earned its reputation for well made sheepskin footwear, apparel and accessories, both in New Zealand and international markets. We source premium hides to bring you the highest quality sheepskin boots and accessories. Canterbury Leather International Limited has been manufacturing for other brands for many years.
As Deckers moved to centralize their manufacturing base to China late in 2011, we are now in the unique position to supply our high quality Canterbury Sheepskin brand and contract manufactured products to a much wider global market. Canterbury Leather International CLI was founded in 1974 by Doug Gill Price. Canterbury Leather International CLI was founded in 1974 by Doug Gill Price, and originally focused on manufacture and export of sheepskin footwear, garments and accessories. This market changed steadily during the late 1980’s as first the Turkish, then Korean and finally Chinese manufacturers moved into the manufacture of sheepskin garments.
However demand was still strong for high priced, premium end, New Zealand manufactured garments, particularly with the Asian tourists to Australia and New Zealand. Deckers were originally manufacturers with plants in the USA Costa Rico and Mexico, but as their sales grew they have increasingly focused on the design, sales and distribution functions, and outsourced most manufacturing to China, whilst the manufacture of high end UGG product remained in New Zealand. Many people in the business still remember the 40 or so pairs that were custom made for Oprah and her team. In 2005 Ugg Australia really took off in the USA and production demand was huge on CLI. Doug Price and some of the CLI team members went to China with Deckers to help train up some of the Chinese footwear factories to help meet the growing demand.
