Elisabetta Franchi has always been active in the defense of animal rights, promoting a series of initiatives in their favor, which since 2019 she has decided to bring together in a single project: the Elisabetta Franchi Onlus Foundation.
The designer's journey in this direction began between 2012 and 2013 when she decided to completely eliminate animal fur from her collections, and then remove goose down and angora wool. The project expanded by financing and building the Island Dog Village EF, a rescue oasi and shelter in China to save dogs subjected to the barbarities of the Yulin Festival.
The Elisabetta Franchi Foundation also supports the many kennels in difficulty and the many volunteers who every day save thousands of dogs from the streets in poor condition and mistreated, giving them a home, care and then a family ready to love them.
