Exotic Skins

PETA is urging Tate Modern to ban exotic skins following an announcement that Gucci – a company tied to animal abuse – will present its Cruise 2025 show at the gallery.

PETA applauds Marc Jacobs’ compassionate decision to cut ties with this cruel industry and urges designers everywhere to follow its lead.

“You act as if you have nothing to hide .… Prove it.” PETA US called on Hermès to drop snake and other exotic skins at its annual meeting.

There’s nothing luxurious about hacking up terrified and struggling pythons for a few bags and belts.

As the world is turning its back on fur, Copenhagen Fashion Week joins the fashion weeks of Amsterdam, Helsinki, and Oslo in going fur-free.

Will Fendi replace archaic and environmentally destructive animal skin with luxurious, sustainable vegan materials?

The brand – whose products are sold at House of Fraser and Harrods – confirmed it will no longer use reptile skins after hearing the dark truth behind the fashion industry.

The action is part of PETA entities’ campaign urging Hermès to stop selling items made of exotic skins.

Footage from PETA Asia shows crocodiles moving as their skin is torn off for bags, shoes, belts, and other accessories sold around the world.

We urge all other designers to cut ties with these cruel trades and embrace a compassionate – vegan – future of fashion.
