Italian luxury fashion house Valentino has joined hundreds of other companies — including Calvin Klein, Coach, Burberry, Gucci, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Versace — that have banned fur in the recent times, said Animal rights organisation People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The brand has announced that it will go fur-free next year.

Valentino’s collection for Fall/Winter 2021-22 season will be the last ever to include fur, it said in a statement.

“Cheers rang out at PETA’s headquarters at the news that even the fashion house that sewed mink fur on sneakers is changing with the times,” PETA said on its website.

Last year, Valentino became the first luxury brand to ban alpaca fleece.
