Saks Fifth Avenue plans to stop selling furs
Neiman Marcus continues to sell fur. In 2019, the state of California banned sales of new clothing and accessories made of fur, and the law will go into effect in 2023.
Saks Fifth Avenue is joining a growing list of retailers and brands including Macy’s, Versace and Prada that will stop using animal fur as it reacts to a backlash from consumers.(Lynne Sladky)
The Saks fur salons will close by the end of this fiscal year, which concludes Jan. 29.
They sell items like mink coats, fox puffers and rabbit jackets from designers such as Zac Posen, Norman Ambrose and Zandra Rhodes. The move will apply to both stores and e-commerce.
