Description

Brands like Burberry and H+M have come under fire (pun intended) in the past few years for incinerating millions and millions of dollars in unsold inventory.  In fact, this practice of destroying product is widespread, practiced by most luxury and mass brands in one way or another.  How do they get there?  Why is destruction so wide spread? In this episode, Janine joins us again to discuss the path to widespread destruction, with a few stops along the way for DEALS DEALS DEALS and the challenges of donating product.  We will also be talking about the ways we can manage our own "excess inventory."Questions, comments, corrections?
