Prada Moves to Remove Kangaroo Leather from Products

When people think of what being Vegan means, it’s often confined to the choices one makes regarding food. While this is certainly a large part of it, being Vegan is a lifestyle that reaches beyond food. Being Vegan is choosing not to eat or use products created from animals. For years, we have used animals from around the world to produce high-quality goods like shoes, handbags, clothing, furniture, and more. 

Earlier this week, Prada announced that it will suspend the use of kangaroo leather for all future product lines. (This is GREAT news for kangaroos and people around the world!) A company spokesperson confirmed that, while they have not used these materials in their products for the past year, they are committed to creating and designing more cruelty-free products in the future. As a result, thousands of these wonderful animals can live freely, without dying unnecessary and cruel deaths.

They’re making luxury more loving – which is something I will support. To me, being Vegan is just one lifestyle choice that I make with the hope that it makes a better world for myself and others. We all have our own ways of making the world more loving and more peaceful – what are some ways that you choose to do that? Thanks for doing all you can!
