French luxury-goods conglomerate Kering will be entirely
fur-free as of next year, the company said Friday.
Starting from the Fall 2022 collection, none of the group's
fashion brands will use animal fur in their clothing products,
Kering said.
"When it comes to animal welfare, our group has always
demonstrated its willingness to improve practices within its own
supply chain and the luxury sector in general," Kering Chief
Executive Francois-Henri Pinault said. "The time has now come to
take a further step forward by ending the use of fur in all our
collections."
In 2017, Kering's leading brand Gucci said it would no longer
use animal fur in its collections. Stablemates including
Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen and Saint Laurent
have progressively followed suit.
The move is guided by a perspective on luxury that is
"inseparable from the very highest environmental and social values
and standards," Mr. Pinault added.
