GOOD NEWS! GLACIER, CINEMA CLUB, and C・O・L・Z・A-Honeys become animal-friendly company

Honey’s Holdings Co., Ltd., the operator of the popular brands “GLACIER,” “CINEMA CLUB,” and “C.O.L.Z.A,” widely favored across various age groups and embraced by numerous consumers, has declared in response to inquiries from the Animal Rights Center Japan that it predominantly refrains from using animal-derived materials.

Already having announced the discontinuation of real fur and fur wool, which is made from a blend of foxes, raccoons, and wool, the company has now made it explicit that it is ceasing the use of Angora, down, all goat hairs (Cashmere, Mohair, Pashmina, etc.), all camel hairs (Alpaca, Lama, Vicuña, etc.), and all exotic leathers. The company expressed a positive stance, stating that they intend to continue their efforts towards animal-free fashion.

As of 2023, wool is currently only used in some winter sweaters.

Honey’s Holdings Co., Ltd.’s sustainability vision is as follows:

“We will actively act with a strong awareness of ‘sustainability,’ aiming to solve social issues, including reducing environmental impact.”

“We will facilitate constructive dialogue with shareholders and institutional investors to contribute to sustainable growth and the long-term improvement of corporate value.”

In the realm of fashion, it is crucial not only to focus on superficial aesthetics but also to adopt sustainable materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester fibers, and environmentally friendly processing methods. Honey’s Holdings can be considered an ESG brand well-suited to the times.

We hope Honey’s, beloved by fashionable women, will be recognized by many consumers as a wonderful brand that cares for animals and the environment.

Follow the compassion of Honeys!

There are still many Japanese apparel companies that have not taken the step to abandon materials symbolizing cruelty, such as animal fur and skin. However, consumers are not seeking animal suffering for fashion. The era has already moved on to the next stage. As a first step toward an ethical society, we expect all brands to transition from fur-free commitiments to animal-free commitoments, paving the way for a new future.
