Burberry has launched ReBurberry Fabric, a pilot programme in partnership with the British Fashion Council (BFC) and with the support of Charlie Porter and Sarah Mower. Burberry will donate leftover fabrics to fashion students most in need across the country as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting communities. The BFC, through its Institute of Positive Fashion and Colleges Council, will oversee the logistics and fabric donations, with shipments going to students throughout the UK. Together, Burberry and the BFC are creating a process whereby logistics for donations will be centralised, facilitating access to materials.
Pam Batty, VP of Corporate Responsibility at Burberry said: "We are delighted to partner with the British Fashion Council to launch ReBurberry Fabric, as we continue to ensure we are meaningfully supporting the next generation of diverse voices across the country."
Charlie Porter also commented: "I am thrilled that Burberry are launching this pilot scheme to deliver fabrics to underprivileged students across the country. The aim is to find a new, efficient model that will make it easy for brands to donate fabric, both helping students in need pushing for greater sustainability."
