Animal Welfare Policy

We are committed to never using materials that induce the suffering or killing of animals and allowing domesticated animals to live their full natural lifespans in comfort. This is why we do not - and will never - use the following materials in our designs:

• All animal skins including fur, leather, and exotic or endangered animal skins
• Horn
• Silk
• Feathers or Down
• Angora
• Mohair

We do, however, prioritise the use of biodegradable natural fibres as we strive to select materials with the lowest possible lifecycle environmental impact, and as such are in support of using wool in our collections where strict requirements are met. The welfare of the sheep that any wool used in our products comes from is paramount and we expect our suppliers to support us in ensuring high welfare standards by only using:

• Mulesing-free wool
• Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) certified wool
• GRS / RCS certified recycled wool
• GOTS / OCS / Soil Association certified organic wool

We will not tolerate any cruelty or mistreatment of animals in our supply chains, and work closely with our suppliers to ensure that these standards are upheld.

Note: Vegan fashion products must contain no animal or animal-derived substances. Dyes used in production, glue in linings, or oil in machinery can sometimes come from animal sources. Many consumers want to know if a brand is entirely vegan, including trims, dyes, and glues, and therefore suppliers must inform OMNES of any products, materials or processes that involve the use of animal derived ingredients.
