Cruelty-Free Fashion Certification
As the discourse surrounding animal rights and animal welfare become more prominent and popular in the public sphere, consumers are beginning to take more of an interest in whether the products they buy have been sourced and manufactured ethically. Boycotts of brands which use fur and the rise of second-hand clothing apps are evidence that people are becoming more conscious of their consumption.
