Clothing
That leather jacket? It’s not a “byproduct”—it’s someone’s skin. Leather is skin, wool isn’t harmless, and feathers, fur, and down come at a cost to animals and the planet. We help students uncover the truth about clothing and accessories made from animals and explore all the stylish, cruelty-free alternatives out there. Compassion is always in fashion!
