DFS launches DFS Vegan, a new range of upholstery that is both 100% animal free and approved by PETA, the charity dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals.

The exclusive new VEGAN collection offers customers five new PETA approved sofas, two accent chairs and a footstool, in a range of stylish colours and fabrics.

On the retailer’s website DFS said “Every element designed to ensure no creature is ever harmed in their making. But don’t just take our word for it. These sofas also get the approval of PETA.”

The DFS VEGAN range was manufactured and sourced according to PETA’s exacting standards of vegan principles, with the range containing no animal fibres, colouring dyes and components, glues, waxes, fats and oils or other animal-derived component parts.

Each supplier has been required to provide signed declarations confirming that they meet PETA’s criteria.

DFS has more than 120 stores across the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain and employs over 4,000 people.
