A Burberry spokesperson said that when it burned products, it did so “in a responsible manner.” Still, the case prompted fresh scrutiny of such practices. Finally, the company said Thursday that it would stop destroying unsold merchandise, adding that it would also stop selling products that used real animal fur. The decision to stop destroying unsold items takes the rebranding effort one step further. In the same announcement Thursday, Burberry pledged to stop using fur, after criticism from environmental campaigners. Tisci’s first runway collection will not feature any fur, and the company will “phase out” existing fur products, Burberry said.
