They could donate them, even if they stripped the lining or something or removed the tags and donated them to charity to distribute to the homeless.

So wasteful.

Protecting their Quality Brand, Lady


Life In The City

why r they burning them whats the point hhhfhf

If they removed certain distinguishing trademarks you wouldn't be able to tell their clothes from cheaper ones.

I have a Burburry jumper and the quality is about the same as ones from River Island.

every time i hear Burberry I think of that cover of American Boy somebody did called MC Burberry

but that’s awful that they’re burning it though, like there’s actually no need

No the CEO does not like your plan
Cheaper Burberry Outlet's
were banned from this Top End Stock

This High End Stock
is not for Plebs

Burberry makes me think of this...

Yes Fine Lady Amy
very nice

Other stores also do the same (H&M )
( Ref :Business Report WS)
to keep the price high
and at the level they want

I always thought Burberry was a bit tacky anyway, never really liked it,but to burn perfectly good clothing is stupid, then people moan that we have no money,no wonder when it is wasted like this.

Its up to the CEO

Should be good debate on Ch4HDNews
tonight

What a waste of material

Surely they could have had a mass sale,at least then they would have got some money for them.

Yes but H&M
also do the same,
The CEO reserves he right to Protect his
High End Stock Prices.

They have had many Sale's
but the Burnt Stock High End has a limit of how
low it could go



Sign Of The Times

10 million of it was perfume so no big deal :shrug:

Haha... classy. I remember when every "chav" (are they called Neds in Scotland?) wore Burberry as a kind of uniform. About the same time I stopped wearing it.

Degenerate but not surprising, arista

I don't understand. Why don't they re-use or recycle the material?

recycling or re-using is better than just throwing it away

Good idea to protect the brand and image and not have chavs wearing them and loosing business

makes perfect sense

:clap1:

I will always associate Burberry with neds in Burberry caps to be honest.
