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.

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.

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.

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