The Giorgio Armani Group chooses to stop using 'Angora wool across all lines'

03 December 2021,  Mumbai:

The decision is effective from the fall 2022 season onward, adding angora to the list of excluded materials within its fur-free policy.

GIVING UP ANGORA: The Giorgio Armani Group said it is committing to stopping the use of angora wool across all lines, effective from the fall 2022 season onward, adding it to the list of excluded materials within its fur-free policy.

“I am pleased to announce the abolition of angora wool from all the collections of the Armani Group, testimony to our tangible commitment in monitoring our production with respect to protecting the natural world,” the Italian designer said. “I have always believed in innovation and research of new materials and innovative methods for processing traditional raw materials.”

In 2016, in agreement with the Fur Free Alliance, the group announced its plans to eliminate the use of animal fur from all its products starting with the fall 2016 season.

This is the latest step in the group’s initiatives to promote sustainability across its supply chain. Armani is a signatory of the Fashion Pact presented at the G7 in 2019, and in July, it announced its targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emission, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative, or SBTi.
