Nordstrom is the latest retailer to announce that it will stop selling products that are made with animal fur or exotic animal skins by end of 2021. It will impact all the chain’s outlet from namesake department stores to off-price banners Nordstrom Rack and Last Chance, and to the website. The commitment was done in partnership with the nonprofit organisation Humane Society of the United States, which focuses on animal welfare.

This news comes at the same time as French government announces the end of mink fur farming in France. The country’s last four remaining fur farms will have to close no later than 2025.

These information follow the lead of several retailers that already took that commitment: a year ago Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s said they will stop selling fur by February 2021; and Selfridges has ended the sale of exotic skins, and sells only leather derived from agricultural livestock.
