A marketing ploy. So many other areas more deserved of attention.

boohoo This is an idiotic decision. Children march for a greener planet and you decide to use more synthetic products rather than naturally occurring wool. You do know that if things are not made from wool it will be thrown away. Not a very environmentally helpful approach

Let's ban cotton as well because of slavery abuses in the past, nylon because it's plastic, silk because of abuses to caterpillars, linen because it's environmentally unfriendly due to the amount of ironing it needs. Anything left to wear?

It seems boohoo are doing what they think their customers want without actually looking at real farms and sheep. What a shame

ChMHunt you’re banned and Anca. With or against? 😂

Fear not, they have already changed their minds

Utter madness. Sheep are not produced for their wool. It's a by product and they are only shorn for animal health reasons. Let's all make clothes with synthetic materials which are great for the environment.

🙈

Well, boo fakin hoo?

If you don’t like wool don’t buy it If you don’t like meat don’t eat it But don’t tell me what to do

They’ve been pulling the wool over their eyes for years

Backlash? The comments I’ve seen have been really positive. It’s great that companies like Boohoo are putting animal welfare and the environment above profits. It’s a smart marketing move too as their young target demo care about animal welfare/environment

What the flock....😊

I’m sure they just shear the sheep and don’t actually kill them for wool

Stupid

Hope that decision comes back to bite them properly! PC rubbish.

It's this peta twats who manipulate what they post. Lamb curry tonight.

PC gone mad!

And leather next... and oil based products for climate change... And anything made from abroad.. just think about the green miles being used.. In fact... just ban it all and wear rags.....

Sheep have to be sheered. Just buy ethical wool boohoo OfficialPLT

Banning wool? FFS what is wrong with these people!

And the say cock all about Halal ?

Shame on Booho will not buy anything from them

I’m more concerned about halal slaughter..... but nobody speaks up about that do they?

Well done I won’t be bothered by your concern for animals. Good job.

i am quite allergic to wool, so unsurprisingly i couldn't care less.

Good for boohoo I appreciate you making a stand that so many other companies refuse to do. Easy to virtue signal, harder to act. Sheep are treated horrifically for their wool Thank you BooHoo Vegan

It wool, the animals are fine after being shorn

Any word from peta about halal slaughter house abuses?

BAN BREATHING FFS

Snowflake if you complain about this imo

Good for them!!!!
