Uniqlo: announced that this fabric will be banned across the board!

Japanese fast fashion Uniqlo recently decided not to use alpaca wool in its products because a PETA's secret investigation of Mallkini, Peru, the world's largest private alpaca farm, revealed that workers had clearly abused animals when cutting wool. Since PETA vigorously promoted the anti-fur movement, many luxury fashion brands such as Calvin Klein, Gucci, Versace, Burberry, Chanel, etc. have joined the ranks of discontinued fur.

The fiber of alpaca is the finest wool in the world and has always been favored by fashion designers and clothing brands. The Mallkini farm in Peru is the world's largest private alpaca farm. Recently, PETA (Organization for the Treatment of Animals) conducted a secret investigation of the world's largest private alpaca farm.
