Topshop: Keep Wildlife Out Of Your Wardrobe

"…the only place for exotic skins is on their original owners"

Topshop in Oxford Street, London, say no to fur and exotic skin trades! The high street retailers refuse to sell fur or exotic skins and are advertising their ethical choices with pride.

PETA UK (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is again collaborating with Topshop to create a brand-new window display, highlighting the continuing problem with exotic animals being killed for their skins.

This fashion is cruel, barbaric and outdated, yet there is still a demand for animal skins, and this is why Topshop carry on to promote the pledge never to wear exotic skins. This Monday Topshop revealed their window display featuring a wardrobe with exotic animals spilling out with the caption ‘Keep Wildlife Out of Your Wardrobe’. They also had a banner at the bottom of the window urging passers-by and customers to support the pledge never to wear exotic skins and visit the PETA UK website.

PETA and Topshop have collaborated before on several occasions making it crystal clear they oppose the cruel fur and exotic skins trades. Yvonne Taylor the Senior Programmes Manager at PETA says ‘Through the years, Topshop has set the industry standard for promoting animal welfare, and its latest high-profile display at the heart of London's busiest shopping street will help save many snakes, alligators and other animal victims of the fashion industry from an excruciatingly painful death.’

Topshop have also been awarded with a PETA-Approved Vegan Fashion Award in the category of Most Stylish Women's Knitwear for the company's trendy cream-and-lime jumper.
