Does Pangaia or its owner sell animal products?
Sells animal products
Pangaia manufactures and sells clothing containing wool, cashmere, silk, down feathers, and leather in some product lines. While the brand uses alternatives (Flwrdwn wildflower-based down alternative, Vegea grape leather alternative), it continues to use conventional animal-derived materials. Pangaia itself does not manufacture animal products outside the fashion category, and its parent company Royal Group is an investment firm without animal agriculture operations.
