MARSEILLE - French fashion brand American vintage has committed to a ban on the use of wool from angora rabbits in all future collections following long-standing pressure from animal welfare campaigners.
The PETA animal rights group, which has been urging the brand to end its use of angora wool for nearly two years, welcomed the move by the company which has more than 1,500 outlets in ten countries.
American Vintage joins a list of more than 400 brands and retailers, including H&M, Mango, Gucci, Calvin Klein and Lacoste, which have committed to not selling angora wool.
