No Angora Wool, Please: This Fashion House Now Has A Fur-Free Policy

Armani said it would no longer use the material across all of its lines from next year's fall-winter collection.

Italian fashion house Armani announced Wednesday it would no longer use angora wool, a product made from rabbit hair, as part of its fur-free policy.

The company said it would no longer use the material across all of its lines from next year's fall-winter collection.

At Armani "the percentage of clothing items containing angora wool is very low and we plan to replace it with materials that meet higher criteria in terms of animal well-being," a group spokeswoman told AFP.

Soft and silky angora wool is a fibre made from the coats of angora rabbits.
