Dominion of New Zealand Launches Fashion Range Of Sheepskin, Shearling and Toscana Coats & Vests.

Portsmouth, NH – 10 September 2010 -  From the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand, a new brand of premium sheepskin coats and vests has emerged from an old expert. Dominion of New Zealand has launched a stunning range of handcrafted sheepskin, shearling and Toscana coats and vests, which are now available in the USA from www.dominionnewzealand.com.
You don’t know who Dominion is? If you know the brand Ugg, then you do know them.  Canterbury Leather International, the parent company for Dominion of New Zealand, was an original designer and producer for Ugg Australia and helped kick off the sheepskin ugg boot phenomenon.  “The company has a rich heritage of uncompromising quality in sheepskin garments and footwear, and we’re bringing that to the United States. This range of premium Dominion shearling coats, jackets and vests for American customers is all about giving people the enduring style and all-encompassing comfort of a quality sheepskin garment,” says Marketing Manager David Ross.
Dominion coats, jackets and vests are hand-made to order, which means you select your style, size and color, and the Dominion team hand-selects the shearling leather for your garment and gets sewing. Because the selection and production process for quality sheepskin and shearling jackets requires great expertise, your jacket will take two weeks to sew and a week to deliver to your door. Good things come to those who wait, and Dominion will not only make you the finest quality coat or vest, but they will cover the cost of international air delivery from New Zealand to you. Yes, that’s right, shipping is FREE for the U.S. launch of the Dominion of New Zealand range.
“What is so special about our sheepskin?” you might ask  There is nothing better than premium sheepskin for your comfort or style. No other fiber in the world can match wool for all its unique properties; warm in winter, cool in summer, with the ability to absorb moisture without feeling wet. Dominion sources premium hides to bring you the highest quality sheepskin available. With 30 years experience behind them, the Dominion craftsmen and women are very good at what they do.

Dominion The Brand

Our Company

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Dominion is proudly made in New Zealand by Canterbury Leather International Ltd – our company that was established way back in 1974.

Canterbury Leather International Ltd. has earned its reputation for well made sheepskin footwear, apparel and accessories, both in New Zealand and international markets. The enduring principles of New Zealand made, uncompromising quality standards and product integrity are the foundations of our business.

Wool is an integral part of New Zealand’s history and the origins can be traced back to when Captain Cook introduced the first pair of sheep in 1779. It could be said the sheep’s ability to adapt to the rugged landscape of New Zealand is reflective in the spirit and attitude required when the pioneers first landed.

No other fibre in the world can match wool for all its unique properties – warm in winter, cool in summer with the ability to absorb moisture without feeling wet. We source premium hides to bring you the highest quality sheepskin boots and accessories. From specially reinforced heel supports in the boots to the luxurious sheepskin insoles, Dominion products are designed to bring you the ultimate in quality, comfort and design.

Dominion reflects the New Zealand made pioneer spirit, using resources from which New Zealand as a nation was built. We hope you enjoy wearing them as much as we enjoy making them.
