Monsoon Accessorize, the UK-based fashion retailer which operates three
brands, has decided to “end the use of angora in all future
production” of its apparel and accessories.
The decision to cut angora out of it collection comes after animal
rights group Peta, revealed its under-cover investigation into angora
fur farms in China, which highlighted the ongoing animal cruelty
behind the practice.
“Following concerns raised about the treatment of angora rabbits in
Chinese farms, during 2013-14, we conducted detailed audits of the
farms used by our suppliers,” said Monsoon Accessorize in a statement.
“These audits confirmed that live plucking was not used anywhere in
our supply chain.”
“However, despite the above, we recognise that some of our customers
still feel uncomfortable with the continued inclusion of angora in our
ranges.” Therefore the retailer has decided to stop using angora.
Monsoon Accessorize has joined a growing list of global fashion
brands, including Asos, Stella McCartney and French Connection,
banning the use of angora.
