Quantcast Vegetarian StarLeona Lewis Told Harrods FUR-Get It

Leona Lewis Told Harrods FUR-Get It

Written by Vegetarian Star on October 10th, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers, Fur.

Leona Lewis has proved she can’t be bought.

The “X Factor” winner and British chart topping singer turned down an offer of over a million dollars from Harrods Department Store boss Mohammed Fayed to open a summer sale.

Why on earth would a celebrity turn down that much money, you ask?

It’s because the department store sells fur.

Lewis has made her vegetarian lifestyle very public and is even in the process of starting her own line of vegan, cruelty free clothing with Topshop. The World’s Sexiest Vegetarian, voted by PETA fans, doesn’t wear or own any items made with animal products.

It’s so refreshing to see a celebrity who’s publicly acknowledged their beliefs not give in when money talks. Or, in the case of a million, money screaming.

Other female celebrities who have opened sales at Harrods in the past include Eva Longoria, Christina Aguilera, Lucy Liu, and vegetarian who can only cook mince meat Victoria Beckham.

    aren’t LV purses made out of leather ?

    There are probably ones with vinyl or other synthetic. I seriously doubt Leona would be carrying around leather, considering she turned down over a million dollars because a store sold fur.
