The fashion house joins the likes of Gucci, Prada, Michael Kors, Versace, and Chanel, which have all pledged to stop using fur in the collections.

“Maison de Couture for us means creativity, uniqueness, intimacy and an inclusive mindset,” chief executive officer Jacopo Venturini said in a statement. “The fur-free stance is perfectly in-line with the values of our company. We are moving full-steam ahead in the research for alternative materials in view of a greater attention to the environment for the upcoming collections.”

Aside from that, the brand also said that it’ll be phasing out its diffusion line, Red Valentino, to allow creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli to focus on its main label.
