What: The Toronto-based company’s entire portfolio is now fur-free.

Why it is important: As North America’s oldest company, the retailer has deep roots in fur and will join other major retailers in going fur-free.

Hudson Bay made the decision to go fur-free in 2021 and stopped selling the merchandise this month. Its other entities, Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks Off 5th also followed through on their commitments.

The Canadian retailer’s heritage started in fur trade, two centuries before Canada was formed, with making this a big shift for the company.
