Why we take animal rights super seriously Here at Reima, our Research & Development department is always working to make our supply chain and processes even more sustainable. Whenever possible, we opt for sustainable, non-animal produced materials. As a fur-free retailer, for example, we only use faux fur in our products. Instead of leather, we’ve chosen durable, breathable synthetic materials for our many washable shoe styles.
