Macy's, Inc. will stop selling fur by 2021, with some changes happening immediately, the company announced Monday.
It's a major step forward for the department store and its subsidiaries, which are known for selling expensive fur clothing and accessories with four- and five-figure price tags.
The fur-free policy is already in effect for Macy's private brands, and the company plans to stop carrying fur products in all stores, including Bloomingdale's, as well. Additional changes, including the closure of the company's Maximilian and Fur Vault locations, will occur gradually. In its announcement about the transition, Macy's vowed to fully implement the new policy by the end of fiscal 2020.
Macy's is the biggest department store in the U.S., and animal advocates across the country laud its decision to set an example by going fur-free.
Let's give Macy's positive reinforcement for turning their backs on the cruel, unnecessary fur industry. Fur looks good only when on its original owners!
