CBSN
Luxury Italian fashion group Moncler announced Tuesday that it would stop using fur in its products starting in 2024. The brand, mainly known for its down coats that cost upwards of $1,000, is following in the footsteps of other big companies like Nordstrom and jacket competitor Canada Goose.
"The company will stop sourcing fur this year and the last collection to feature fur will be Fall/Winter 2023," the company said in a press release. They also cited their "commitment to responsible business practices" and collaboration with the Italian animal rights organization LAV "as a representative of the Fur Free Alliance."
Moncler's announcement comes as a growing movement of customers, animal rights activists, and even state and city governments continues to push for policies that lean away from new fur use.
