Earthsight report claims Coach and other fashion houses are using leather suppliers with serious exposure to illegal cattle ranches in worst hit part of the Amazon

Luxury fashion houses are buying leather from firms with supply chain links to illegal cattle ranches in the most deforested part of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, a new report warns.

To compile its report, the non-profit Earthsight analysed court rulings, satellite imagery, shipment records and went undercover to connect the supply chain of US fashion house Coach to a giant Brazilian slaughterhouse with a record of buying thousands of cattle raised on illegally deforested land.
