Brands That Have Banned Feathers: Join the Movement

Fashion brands are making a big statement by ditching feathers that come from birds. Companies like Victoria’s Secret and Adore Me have created stunning looks using materials like 3-D printed fabrics, quilted satin, soda can tabs, and Swarovski crystals, instead of using feathers plucked from animals like ostriches and chickens. Thanks to the efforts of supporters like you, these changes are happening in stores all over the country.

Behind every feather trim is a story of cruelty. Birds like ostriches, turkeys, and chickens suffer when their feathers are forcibly pulled from their bodies. Some companies have joined the feather-free movement, setting an example for others in the fashion industry to follow.

These are just a few brands that have banned feathers in their products:

– Adolfo Dominguez
– Adore Me
– ASOS
– H&M
– Stella McCartney
– And many more

In addition to retailers, fashion events like Helsinki Fashion Week and Melbourne Fashion Week have banned feathers from their runways. The reality of the feather industry is harsh, as seen in PETA investigations of ostrich slaughter operations where birds are mistreated and killed for their feathers.

In the down industry, ducks and geese are violently plucked for their feathers, which are used in jackets, pillows, and comforters. Many brands have already banned down and switched to cruelty-free alternatives.

Birds are unique individuals with feelings and behaviors that are often overlooked. Feathers aren’t just decorations, they are essential for birds’ well-being. Just like human hair, feathers help regulate body temperature, protect skin, and enable birds to move and communicate effectively. By supporting brands that have ditched feathers, we can help protect these intelligent and sensitive animals.
