LONDON: British luxury fashion group Burberry has stopped burning unsold products and will no longer use real fur and angora in its clothes, chief executive Marco Gobbetti said Thursday. Burberry has come under fire for burning millions of dollars worth of products. It added that there would be no real fur in Riccardo Tisci's debut collection revealed later in September. "Substituting natural fur with plastic petroleum-based materials, like fake fur, is ... neither luxury nor responsible and sustainable," he said in a statement. Burberry burned unsold clothes, accessories and perfume worth pound sterling28.6 million (32 million euros, $37 million), according to its last annual report in July.
