Fashionistas who love the environment and animals will be very happy to hear that the online fashion giant Asos has just announced that it will no longer use these animal-derived products in the production of its garments and beauty products: silk, mohair wool, cashmere and feathers.
“Asos firmly believes that it is not acceptable for animals to suffer in the name of fashion or cosmetics. No animal should be slaughtered to produce garments that are sold on any of the Asos websites,”says a statement from the store.
By January 2019, the firm that had already renounced the use of animal hair and angora, agrees to use only certain types of fur and wool if they are left over from the agri-food industry.
Both Instagram and Twitter users and animal rights associations were quick to congratulate the company on its decision.
“PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) applauds Esos for leading the movement for fashion compassion […] consumers are changing the face of the industry by asking designers and stores to give up products derived from animals and offer other alternatives that are beautiful and do not cause suffering, "said Yvonne Taylor, director of corporate projects for PETA, Vogue.
As for beauty products, the firm says it is working to get animal products banned worldwide, just as it was banned in Europe. is committed to working with the industry to achieve a worldwide ban on animal testing.
