Burberry burns luxury goods worth millions

Posted on July 19, 2018 by queeranarchism

Burberry, the upmarket British
fashion label, destroyed unsold clothes, accessories and perfume worth
£28.6m last year to protect its brand.

That was 6% higher than the value of products the company disposed of in the previous financial year.

Fashion firms including Burberry destroy unwanted items to prevent them being stolen or sold cheaply.

Behold, the efficiency of capitalism!
