It’s important to be responsible concerning the choice to use materials harvested from animals – especially when there is the potential for these animals to be killed while still alive.

Origin Assured ensures fur harvesting techniques are ethical and performed with the utmost care.  OA is an internationally observed group, which has many members.  Some of the designers that support Origin Assured fur farmers are Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli, John Galliano and Oscar de la Renta.

For the full list of furriers that are members of OA, visit the official site list.
