Team:

Established out of Jacksons Tannery, which began in 1948, EMU started out with a simple idea, and probably the best — that nature is the best inventor and we're just following her lead. Simple. We draw inspiration from our home, the Australian life and landscape, incorporating natural and sustainable materials like sheepskin and merino wool into our creations. Our approach is more than just making boots, slippers and the softest earmuffs this side of the world. It's a lifestyle dedicated to feeling good, at all times, unapologetically. We call it
