Max Mara Fashion Group Paige Bueckers Paige Buckets UConn Huskies Shirt . the parent company of Italian luxury fashion house Max Mara, Marina Rinaldi, and Marella, among others, has gone fur-free, according to press releases from a number of animal rights organisations.The announcement comes after Max Mara faced increasing pressure for several years from animal rights organizations such as People for The Protection of Animals (PETA) and Four Paws to stop using real animal furs in its collections.“Max Mara, including the Max Mara Fashion Group (MMFG) and any subsidiaries, has adopted a fur-free policy and has no intention of introducing fur into any upcoming collection for any of the MMFG brands,” said a Max Mara executive in a statement released by Four Paws.The company’s decision to step away from using fur comes months after the Fur Free Alliance (FFA), a coalition of over 50 animal protection organizations from over 35 countries, launched a global campaign during fashion weeks in New York City, London, Milan, and Paris this past February, that called on Max Mara to implement a fur-free policy. The international campaign garnered significant support, with over 270,000 emails, 5,000 phone calls, and numerous social media posts conveying a strong plea for Max Mara to embrace a fur-free future.

This success is a direct result of a joint effort between Four Paws and other NGOs under the direction of the Fur Free Alliance and shows that consistent mobilization can have a positive effect for millions of minks, foxes, and raccoon dogs.”John Vinding, Chairman of the FFA, added: “The Fur Free Alliance applauds Max Mara for going fur-free. Max Mara was one of the last global fashion brands that still sold fur, so we’re glad they have now joined a growing list of fur-free brands that want nothing to do with animal cruelty associated with the fur trade.”While organisations have celebrated the news, a spokesperson for Max Mara denied making any official statement on the issue but confirmed it had sent an internal memo to staff, reassuring them that it does not sell products made from fur either online or in any of its physical retail locations, nor does it intend to introduce products made from fur in future collections of the Max Mara Fashion Group brands.”We have read the statement from Lav. We confirm that Max Mara Fashion Group brands have not sold fur products for several seasons. We have not made any public statement,” read a statement sent to FashionUnited. “We have reassured our collaborators, who have been subjected to pressure and violence, particularly in the United States, through an internal statement that the company has long chosen not to use fur in its products and that we would explore any legal solution available to us, to protect them from systematic violations of their privacy and repeated psychological violence.”
