Dakota Johnson Called Out by PETA After Gucci Handbag Campaign

Dakota Johnson has a brand-new advertising campaign with Gucci — where she’s rocking a lots of their equipment, consisting of animal skin bags — and PETA isn’t delighted about it … not.

The starlet simply came out as a main ambassador for the high-end style brand name, and appeared in a brand-new industrial where she’s displaying a lots of their items — and, naturally, there’s photoshoots galore where DJ remains in all Gucci. So, she’s all in.

The issue, according to PETA, is that a number of these Gucci bags Dakota’s marketing here are made with genuine reptile skins … particularly, python and crocodile. Gucci isn’t concealing it either, as its site promotes the truth the hides are the genuine offer.

That does not sit ideal with the animal rights org — and it let Dakota understand everything about it in an useful, yet rather scathing, letter to her group.

In the correspondence, gotten by TMZ, PETA disagrees with Gucci’s python and crocodile bags — varying from $3,100 to $31k — being so unabashedly shown off by Dakota … which they state is odd, because she’s outspoken on a great deal of social concerns.

They’re right, her IG has plenty of advocacy posts for whatever from BLM to females’s rights and a lot more.

So, PETA’s asking if she appreciates the animals that were butchered for the bags — and advises her poachers and hunters go to severe lengths to get the skins … consisting of abusing and ripping them to pieces while still alive.

PETA likewise discusses this bit … “The killing of these snakes is so cruel that in California, it would be illegal to buy the very goods you’re promoting, because their sale is banned.”

Gucci even acknowledges that truth on its websites for a number of these bags.

Bottom line … PETA is asking Dakota to highly reassess her association with Gucci and to knock its usage of unique animal skins, specifically with vegan options offered.

We attempted wanting to see if Dakota has actually spoken up on animal rights concerns, particularly, and it seems like she considers it an exemplary cause — seeing how her well-known granny, Tippi Hedren, was a big supporter of animal security … and DJ has actually spoken fondly of her work.
