The Italian fashion house Armani promised to ban angora wool in its collections from the autumn-winter season 2022-2023, thus increasing the list of prohibited materials within the framework of its policy of protection of animal welfare.
“I am happy to announce“The deletion”of angora wool from all the group’s collections“, For the sake of”the protection of nature“Said designer Giorgio Armani in a statement.
In the Armani house, “the percentage of garments with angora wool is very low and we plan to replace them with materials [que cumplan con] the strictest standards regarding animal welfare ”said a spokeswoman for the group.
The Italian brand thus follows in the footsteps of other groups in the sector such as Gucci, Zara, Burberry O H&M, which seek to separate themselves from practices that involve animal abuse.
In 2013, the animal rights organization Peta launched a call for a boycott of products made from angora rabbit fur, accusing Chinese farmers of pulling the hair of animals while they are still alive, and demonstrated this with some videos.
According to Peta, 90% of angora skin comes from China. Angora wool is famous for its silky and light texture.
Giorgio Armani announced in 2016 that it was renouncing the use of any type of animal skin in its collections, ensuring that currently there are valid alternatives to those “cruel practices ”.
