Neiman Marcus Group announced its intention to go fur-free by early 2023, the company shared in a press release. The famous department store plans to embrace an animal welfare policy and close existing fur salons at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores.

The commitment is part of a broader sustainability strategy by the company.

“We are delivering an ultimate luxury experience for our customers and their evolving preferences. We are updating our assortment to feature multiple sustainable and ethical luxury fashion categories,” said Geoffroy van Raemdonck, Chief Executive Officer, Neiman Marcus Group. “It is clear the future is fur-free, and that includes the ultra-luxury space. As a leader in luxury retail, NMG has an opportunity to help build a better future for our industry. We’re grateful to the Humane Society of the United States for their partnership.”

The company is partnering with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and its animal welfare policy aligns with Fur Free Alliance guidelines. HSUS expressed its Support for the company’s commitment. 

“We welcome this important policy from Neiman Marcus Group,” said PJ Smith, director of Fashion Policy for the Humane Society of the United States. “The company’s fur-free pledge represents a transformational change in retail, and we applaud NMG for making progress on an issue that so many consumers care deeply about.”

Every year, millions of animals are raised and killed for their fur. The animals at fur farms are kept in tiny cages their entire lives. It’s been proven that the mental health of animals on fur farms, like all captive animals, suffers greatly. The pace and self-mutilate. Then, they are killed in gruesome ways like gassing, bludgeoning, and electrocution. Fashion houses Stella McCartney, Gucci, Versace, and Giorgio Armani do not use fur or have announced they will stop using fur in the production of their clothing. We hope other cities, states, and countries follow suit!
