Bio of Wuggs
Lenah was established 30 years ago, to grow markets for wallaby meat. We believe in utilizing animals that are native to this land, belong here and do not have the negative environmental impact of introduced species, such as cattle and sheep. We’ve been quite successful with the wallaby meat side, supplying over 100 restaurants per year and making wallaby meat available to the public, through 200 supermarkets. Sadly, most of our skins still go to waste, which to us, is unacceptable. Wuggs are our vision to change this, and we’ve developed a uniquely Tasmanian boot made from our skins. We’re delighted to be able to provide consumers a more eco-friendly, sustainable, and neutral carbon boot, that is made to last.
Environmental Cred
Wuggs were designed with the environment in mind and have loads of environmental credibility:
-
Wallaby, emit almost no methane, making Wuggs a low carbon footwear option.
-
Wallaby are super-abundant here in Tasmania. Their populations are growing, and the government has tight regulations to ensure the harvest is sustainable.
-
Wallaby have very low water requirements.
-
Wallaby have soft feet which are gentle on fragile Australian soils.
-
Wuggs are made from the skins of animals processed for meat, ensuring these beautiful skins are utilized rather than wasted
-
Wallaby leather is stronger and softer, meaning Wuggs are made to last.
