Is PETA in Business With LVMH?
Is PETA buying into luxury fashion? Yes, but with a single intent in mind... to get their point across. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has purchased a share of LVMH, the French luxury group that owns Louis Vuitton, Celine, Fendi and Dior. Clearly, PETA doesn't have a genuine financial interest in the fashion conglomerate. The purchase provides them access to shareholder meetings where they can voice concerns about the mistreatment of animals used in luxury products. It's not the first time the company has a bought share of a luxury fashion brand. Your might remember that PETA bought a share of Hermes in 2015, and a share of Prada a year later. It's a smart approach, but historically speaking, animal farming practices are slow to evolve. On December 22, Forbes published an exclusive preview of PETA's video taken inside a Vietnam crocodile farm. The narrator of the footage urges people not to purchase items made from croc skins. The question is: will the video and LVMH share purchase get PETA's message across?
For the foreseeable future, PETA will have to continue buying shares if it wants to make a point. As a single-share owner, they will probably have little to no influence. Yes, they can attend shareholder meetings, but their motives are in direct conflict with other shareholders who are primarily interested in financial gain. As long as there is a niche market that loves exotics, luxury brands have no reason to stop using them. From a publicity standpoint, this was a rather brilliant move on the part of PETA, but if their intent is to change LVMH from within, one could argue that they will need more than a single share as leverage. *Feature image courtesy of Flickr user Charles Price

I ordered the Burberry SANDLED and they are in excellent condition . I love them .
If you’re looking for authentic luxury pieces in incredible condition, look no further! I recently purchased a few Louis Vuitton bags from this couture shop, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
The selection is amazing, I could honestly spend hours browsing because there are so many beautiful and unique pieces to choose from. Every bag I purchased was in fantastic condition and exactly as described.
What truly sets this shop apart is the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about helping customers find the perfect piece. They made the experience feel personal and enjoyable from start to finish.
I absolutely love my new bags and couldn’t be happier with my purchases. This has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop for luxury fashion, and I will definitely be a repeat customer. Highly recommend!
I had been searching for a long Chanel wallet and could not believe it when I saw a brand new one with tags for under retail. It is gorgeous and such a great price. Very happy!
I had a fantastic 1st experience ordering my purse online! Emma was so patient with me and answered all my questions! She was so professional and even showed me what purse looks like by wearing it for me, so made me feel better purchasing since I could see length etc.. Needless to say I love my new purse! 🥰
I have to commend you CoutureUSA! Because you only accept the best of pre-love designer items I get the best of pre-love designer items. I have had so many recent halls from you. That are just top-notch excellent condition. You have a customer for life.
Having lost my vintage John Hardy sterling silver Pali Budda Belly earrings, I was so happy to be able to purchase their replacement with Couture USA. They arrived in excellent condition, better than described.
Every visit is an exceptional experience. The team is intelligent, intuitive, incredibly knowledgeable, and treats every customer with the same level of care whether you're purchasing a Birkin or a wallet. They take the time to truly get to know your style, understand what you love, and even remember the pieces you're working toward adding to your collection, all in a relaxed, low-pressure environment.
The store is over an hour from me, and it's absolutely worth the drive. Their recent expansion and redesign have made the shopping experience even better, with beautiful lighting, more inventory, and a thoughtfully organized layout that evolves with the seasons and current trends.
I also love their FB, Instagram and TikTok content. They share educational snippets about leathers, styles, sizes, and luxury brands that help collectors learn while they shop. It's also clear that every bag is carefully hand-selected before joining their inventory, and their pricing is incredibly competitive.
Most importantly, the team is friendly, professional, welcoming, and completely nonjudgmental. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your luxury journey, they make you feel valued and appreciated. I can't recommend them highly enough. I admire that they are also involved in many local causes and care just as much about their surrounding community. Thank you Couture!!!

I love shopping at couture I find some great bags. I check their site daily. So I don't miss out on what I'm looking for.
I was honestly a little nervous purchasing a pre-loved luxury bag online, but CoutureUSA made the entire experience feel easy and trustworthy. The photos and description were accurate, communication was great, and my bag arrived quickly and packaged really well.
What I appreciated most was that the item looked exactly like I expected when it arrived. There were no surprises, which can definitely be stressful when shopping pre-loved. Overall, the process felt smooth, professional, and genuine. I would definitely shop with them again.
Best places to shop always have great finds with great prices and the experience with everyone in the store like shopping with girlfriends best ever❤️❤️
