Owner of Juicy Couture, Jennifer Lopez Collections, and Others Bans Ostrich
When PETA released investigation footage of ostriches being abused and killed for their skins, fashionistas and fashion companies around the world took notice. Now, following talks with PETA, Global Brands Group has made the compassionate decision to ban ostrich-derived products from its controlled brands.
The ban extends to fashion companies such as Juicy Couture as well as to collections by Jennifer Lopez, David Beckham, and Rachel Zoe, among many others.
The demand for “cruelty-free chic” is skyrocketing as modern fashionistas become aware of the animal abuse and environmental destruction involved in the leather, suede, fur, and other industries that sell items made from animals. With gorgeous vegan leather options, there is no need for the cruel and violent leather industry.
To celebrate this victory for ostriches, we want to highlight some of these companies’ compassionate and stylish offerings:
1. Juicy Couture Las Palmas Tech Wristlet
Four other styles with the same design are available here.
2. Rachel Zoe Matty Bell Sleeve Mini Dress
This baby-blue number can easily be dressed up or down and features a keyhole silhouette, tie at the waist, and bell sleeves.
3. Jennifer Lopez Women’s High Heel Gladiator Sandals
These stunning gladiator heels are also available in an earthy brown.
4. Juicy Couture Crystal Crown Velour Surf Rider Satchel
Get cozy with a velour satchel—similar designs are available in black and pink.
5. Juicy Couture Blaine Flatform Sneaker
Gain a few inches and lots of fashion points with this vegan leather platform sneaker.
6. Jennifer Lopez Eva Hobo
Jennifer Lopez’s collection for Kohl’s features many vegan leather purses.
7. Juicy Couture Ponte All Over Embellished Jacket
The classic structure of this jacket is nicely balanced by eye-catching gold and silver studs.
Do you agree that no animal should be tortured for clothing and accessories? Join the vegan fashion revolution by helping us put pressure on Hermès and Prada to remove ostrich and other exotic skins from their collections—and choose only vegan fashions.
