Ribbon Red is one of the most requested shades in the classic sheepskin boot line, and this page looks at the color itself: how the dye sits on twin-faced sheepskin, what it does to an outfit, and how to keep the suede looking the way it did in the box. Ribbon Red is the celebration color, bright as the bow on a gift box.

Ribbon Red is a cheerful, gift-box red - brighter than garnet, warmer than cherry, with the glossy optimism of the ribbon on a present. Of all the fashion colors in the line, it is the one that turns heads at twenty paces.
Let ribbon red be the celebration in the outfit: black leggings and a cream sweater, dark denim and a white shirt, or full holiday plaid worn with confidence. It is also a gift-giver's color, chosen when the boots themselves are the present.
Ribbon red has featured on classic short and mini boots, bow-back editions where the color doubles down on the gift theme, and children's styles, where its cheerfulness is entirely at home.
Bright red suede rewards protector spray and punishes neglect - water spots dull the brightness unevenly. Keep the boots out of long direct sun between wears, since strong light is the enemy of saturated reds.
A word about the photograph below: it has illustrated this color since October 2017 and stays here as a historical reference. Colors are subject to change, so for the current product offering in Ribbon Red, check the official UGG website before you buy.
Ribbon red is bright, warm and festive; garnet is deep, cool and gem-like. Choose ribbon red to be noticed and garnet to be admired.
Only if the rest of the outfit competes. Treat the boots as the single loud note, keep clothes in black, cream, denim or grey, and the styling becomes effortless.
With heavy sun exposure any bright red can soften toward a duller rose. Storing the boots in their box between seasons keeps the ribbon brightness far longer.
