NEW YORK, Dec 10 — The British luxury fashion house is continuing its efforts to make fashion more circular by adding clothing rentals to its services, in partnership with the My Wardrobe HQ platform. While helping to mitigate fashion’s impact on the planet, this initiative also allows access to the brand’s must-have pieces at a lower cost.
Whether it’s buying second-hand, recycling, repairing, upcycling or clothing rental, all these alternatives to traditional fashion could help significantly reduce the fashion industry’s environmental footprint. And this is a matter of urgency, according to a, produced in partnership with the Global Fashion Agenda, and released last year, which estimates the emissions from this rapidly changing sector to reach 2.7 billion tonnes per year by 2030.

The choice is quite comprehensive, from scarves to trench coats, T-shirts, dresses, pants and sneakers to several handbags. There’s enough to build a complete Burberry outfit, in fact. Once you’ve made your selection, all you have to do is select the duration of the rental and proceed to the checkout, unless you prefer to buy your item directly second-hand.
For example, one of the brand’s iconic trench coats, which retails at £1,750 new, can be rented for £29 a day , or bought second-hand for £875. And the service seems to be popular, since some pieces are already unavailable only a few hours after the service launched. Note too that 40 per cent of each transaction will be donated to the Smart Works charity, which works to help get women back into the job market.
