Overview

  • 15 - life on land

Ogilvy & Mather Bangkok teamed up with PETA to launch Behind the Leather – a campaign to make people think of the animal suffering involved in making popular fashion items. A pop-up store called The Leather Work was opened in a busy Bangkok shopping mall and filled with purses, shoes, jackets and accessories made of exotic hides. Customers browsing the store were quickly confronted with the gruesome truth behind each item.
