The niLuu x PETA robes are also available for purchase on niLuu’s website, with 20% of the proceeds going directly to support PETA’s lifesaving work for animals.
“There’s nothing sexier than compassion, and niLuu’s silk-free robes show kindness to some of the smallest and most vulnerable animals abused for fashion,” says PETA Senior Vice President Lisa Lange. “With this Valentine’s Day gift, PETA hopes to turn Hollywood’s hottest couples on to how luxurious today’s modern vegan designs are.”
Silkworms are boiled alive in their cocoons to create silk, and roughly 3,000 of them are killed to make a single pound of it. That means billions, if not trillions, of them are killed for silk every year. Luckily, vegan silk options abound, from nylon, polyester, and rayon to luxury natural materials like niLuu’s, made from Cupro—a fiber derived from cotton seeds, a previously discarded byproduct of the cotton harvest.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to wear”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
