Leona Lewis – Harrods Fur Snub!

Posted on October 10, 2008 at 10:19 am | Permalink | Comments (4)

Today's blog features guest blogger, peta2 UK's Violet…

In just one more thing to add to our "Reasons That peta2 Are In Love With Leona Lewis" list, the beautiful Leona proved that her compassion is NOT for sale when she rejected a &pound1m offer from Harrods boss Mohammed Fayed to open this year's summer sale because of the department stores ruthless pelt pushing record. Harrods is the only department store in the UK that continues to sell real fur! Come on Harrods, get out of the dark ages and take a leaf out of Harvey Nichols' book!

Leona said, "I'm totally against animal cruelty. I don't have clothes, shoes or bags made from animal products."

Also on the Leona front – rumour has it that she's been in talks with Sir Philip Green about creating a range of non-leather bags and shoes for Topshop!!! Right, I'm off to Pilates so I can get fighting fit, ready for the inevitable scramble at the unveiling!! Watch out ladies; see you at the front of the queue!!!

    I'm not really a fan of Leona's music but now I'm a fan of her! It's brilliant that Leona, a person who many young people look up to, is showing the world that animals aren't ours to wear.

    Although I really dislike her music, I have to give it up for anyone who doesn't support animal cruelty. Yay Leona! :D
