Dakota Johnson has been by PETA over a new Gucci campaign in which she’s toting handbags made of reptile skins.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old actress, who has been named an official ambassador for the luxe label, is seen with expensive accessories, including handbags that are made of python and crocodile skins, which can cost up to $52,000 a bag. <\/p>\n

PETA sent a letter to Johnson, acquired by TMZ, in which they told the Persuasion star her endorsement of products as such is ‘extremely damaging,’ noting a number of the ills of the industry.<\/p>\n

The latest: Dakota Johnson, 33, has been made by PETA over a new Gucci campaign in which she’s toting handbags of reptile skins<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Crocodiles killed for their skins are often kept in filthy, crowded tanks on “crocodile farms,”‘ a rep for the animal rights organization said. ‘Workers have been documented electroshocking crocodiles then attempting to kill them by cutting their necks and ramming metal rods down their spines.’<\/p>\n

PETA said that ‘to kill snakes for their skin, hunters invade their homes, often nail them to trees and then skin them alive before tossing them into a pile to die,’ adding that ‘snakes can suffer for days before succumbing to shock or dehydration .’<\/p>\n

The organization noted that California law has banned the sale of the ‘very goods [she’s] promoting’ due to the cruel methods involved in killing the snakes.<\/p>\n

PETA asked the actress, who plays Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades Of Gray films, to ‘pledge to stop wearing and promoting exotic-skin fashion items’ and trade them out for vegan alternatives.<\/p>\n

The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson was seen in the newly-released ad campaign earlier this week in which she was seen toting a Jackie 1961 bag as she was seen in everyday situations such as visiting the gym, grabbing flowers and shopping for groceries <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘There’s really no excuse to support such a violent industry,’ the organization said.<\/p>\n

Gucci advertises the products on their website, noting that ‘from distinct styles in crocodile to new favorites in python – Beloved lines like the GG Marmont, Dionysus, Gucci Horsebit 1955 and more are given refined canvases.’<\/p>\n

The daughter of Melanie Griffith, 65, and Don Johnson, 73, was seen in the newly-released ad campaign earlier this week in which she was seen toting a Jackie 1961 bag as she was seen in everyday situations such as visiting the gym, grabbing flowers and shopping for groceries.<\/p>\n

Gucci’s latest ad rollout, which was snapped by British photographer Glen Luchford, drew creative inspiration from the way the paparazzi covered late former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.<\/p>\n

Johnson told British Vogue, ‘The Jackie is the perfect bag. It’s a great size and is so chic.’ <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
