Neiman Marcus Advertising Manolo Blahnik Boots as Ocelot Fur—an Endangered Species

WASHINGTON, D.C. (RPRN) 8/20/2009—The Humane Society of the United States has once again asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Neiman Marcus and sister store Bergdorf Goodman. This time, The HSUS found both stores selling $1,500 fur-trimmed Manolo Blahnik boots that are advertised both as “cava fur” — a species that does not appear to exist—and “natural ocelot fur” — an endangered species that would be illegal to sell under the Endangered Species Act.
