Ugg Classic Ultra Mini
from $229 at The Iconic

Sizes: 5-11.
Colours: Chestnut, pink.
Materials: List materials its made in. Don’t worry about current stock/availability. If it’s just made from one, that’s fine. Just make sure to change it to “Material”.

- Genuine suede upper; pre-treated to prevent water and stains
- Raised seam detail
- Soft, fluffy sheepskin lining and insole
- Treadlite by UGG™ outsole
