Luxury-fashion leader Neiman Marcus Group (NMG) has announced it will end the sale of products containing animal fur in all of its retail stores by early 2023.
“It is clear the future is fur-free, and that includes the ultra-luxury space,” said NMG CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck. “As a leader in luxury retail, NMG has an opportunity to help build a better future for our industry.”
Lady Freethinker thanks the more than 28,000 readers who signed our petition urging the company to stop selling cruel fur from tortured animals.
The decision by Dallas-based NMG — which owns such high-end fashion retailers as Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman — is part of its recently adopted Animal Welfare Policy, which prohibits the sale of products containing fur from animals killed solely for their pelts. These animals include mink, fox, lynx, chinchilla, rabbit, coyote, astrakhan or karakul lamb, kangaroo, and raccoon dog.
The company worked with experts at the Humane Society of the United States to draft the policy, which is aligned with Fur Free Alliance guidelines as well.
The company’s decision represents a “transformational change in retail,” said PJ Smith, director of fashion policy for the Humane Society.
“We applaud NMG for making progress on an issue that so many consumers care deeply about,” Smith said.
What’s New…
Hope this is true, and not just there for PR.
Thank you, Nieman Marcus!
Why wait until 2023 to to go fur free! Why not NOW!! So many animals will be killed by 2023!!!
Good news but why wait until early 2023? Why not stop now?

Why does that has to be in the FUTURE and not Now? Okay until then I won’t be shopping at this location. Period. Please boycott this place until 2023.
Great! This abuse will end in 2023. So what happens to animals that will be abused between NOW and that expected day in 2023. Arent the animals tortured between now and 2023 important. This large space will be used by NM to implement new ways of continuing abuse after 2023. They are not fooling me.
I’m sure happy that another clothing company finally see the light. The fur industry is dying, but I believe that those whose choose to make the change is because it is no longer profitable. But I guess a change is welcoming. And I can see the trappers more busy than ever setting up those grotesque traps as the profit dwindle more and more.
Why so long? They are going to kill them all anyway so why not stop 2 more years of misery and pain for the poor animals?
That was exactly my first thought! I have no doubt they could stop immediately if they wanted to…..but, they would rather profit from the torture and murder of innocent animals for two more years!!!
Shameful and inexcusable!
Boycott!!
