Chanel becomes first luxury fashion label to stop using fur and animal skin in their collections
The bold move from the French luxury giant to turn its back on crocodile and lizard skin is expected to inspire other luxury labels to follow suit
Chanel became the first major luxury labels in the world to give up using crocodile and lizard skin after announcing it will no longer use exotic animal pelts in its collections.
Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel's head of fashion, said the brand "would no longer use exotic skins in our future creations" in a move hailed by animal rights groups. The company said it was becoming increasingly difficult to source high-quality pets in an ethical manner, Daily Mail reports.
