Re: Burberry burn bags.

Is there nowhere in the world these days that isn't tainted with greed; malpractices and dirty secrets?

Re: Burberry burn bags.

The company [Burberry] admitted destroying the unsold clothes, accessories and perfume instead of selling it off cheaply, in order to protect the brand's exclusivity and value.
Chavy, I call it.

Well you live and learn ...

I would never have dreamt that fashion companies would go to those lengths.
Makes you wonder too if there is some tax advantage by destroying a load of 'stock in hand' at the end of the accounts year.
Nah .. that'd be too cynical.

yes it is Mups the topics here change at such a rapid pace it's sometimes hard to keep up - but I came across this in OZ and never saw the original here - still it's another second reminder of the scandals of life and sometimes triggers off other thoughts
