Luxury department store brand Neiman Marcus has just become the latest business to completely ditch fur.

The Neiman Marcus Group (NMG) announced that by 2023 it will stop selling any products made from animal fur, and also shut down 22 fur salons, in keeping with its new policy, which eliminates fur products from Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman stores and websites.

“It is clear the future is fur-free, and that includes the ultra-luxury space,” Geoffroy van Raemdonck, NMG’s chief executive officer said about the decision.

The decision follows similar moves by other leading department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom, as well as luxury fashion labels, like Versace, Gucci, Tommy Hilfiger, Stella McCartney and Giorgio Armani.
