Marc Jacobs will no longer use reptile or ostrich leather in its collections. This information was shared by the animal protection organization PETA, reports buro247.ru.
“We thank Marc Jacobs for his ethical decision to ban the use of crocodile, lizard, ostrich, snake and other wildlife skins from his collections. PETA applauds the designer and encourages brands around the world to follow his example,” said the organization’s director Laura Shields.
Marc Jacobs is not the first brand to stop using exotic animal skins. Previously, Stella McCartney, Victoria Beckham, Chanel, Carolina Herrera, Diane von Furstenberg, Jean Paul Gaultier, Karl Lagerfeld, Nordstrom and Vivienne Westwood joined this movement.
PETA also calls for following the example of the LVMH conglomerate, which includes Dior, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and other brands.
