That's crazy. And like Dirty said, H & M isn't exactly a brand with the biggest profile in the fashion world.

def. they dont want ppl to say....o H&M jeans, only hobos were them nowadaysOriginally Posted by Much Respected
I think its more about them protecting the brand than logistics.Originally Posted by TeamJordan79
smh so why are there clothing drives if clothes get destroyed
the main problem aint the clothes...its logistics
If they don't destroy the property, they risk individuals going through the trash, finding clothes, and returning them for cash/store credit.That used to happen a lot at Wal-Mart, iirc. They could just remove the tags/cross out the tags with markers like some stores do when they sell excess clothingto Marshall's/TJ Maxx, but they don't want to. Also, I know some stores prefer that their "brand" only be associated with customers within acertain income bracket/race because they feel it hurts their brand if homeless people are seen wearing the brand.Originally Posted by eight2one
Someone break it down to me as to why the do this?

cause kids were paying 450 a pop for a 70 dollar hoody which prolly costs 12 dollars to make...
this is a little different...
this is clearence *+#@ they can't sell......so give it away...noone wants it...you're wasting time cutting it up, just cut your tags out of it...
and that can be easily solved with a "consume at your own risk" labelOriginally Posted by Dirtylicious

na that's not the issue. All it takes is a couple of phone calls to churches, clothings drives, etc. They'll come and pick em up in trash bags. It's what much respected said.
QFT. Churches, clothing drives, etc are required to be not for profit. So there's no "brand" to protect and no "cost" to get them in other hands.
Directly around the corner from H & M is a big collection point for New York Cares, which conducts an annual coat drive.
"We'd be glad to take unworn coats, and companies often send them to us," said Colleen Farrell, a spokeswoman for New York Cares.
but who puts labels on food thrown out in the garbage?Originally Posted by Across 110th st

They are not going to stop doing this. This ha been happening for the past two decades, and so many stores do it.Originally Posted by OctobersFinest
You guys all realize that they announced yesterday that they stopped doing this right.
Very poor logic. The topic is about Wal-Mart and H&M. Do you really think Wal-Mart clothes = Gucci clothes.Originally Posted by dbbabd
You guys are some soft ppl .
1) Why would they give their clothes to HOMELESS ppl. That would take away from exclusiveness and demand of their clothes.
2) You think Gucci, LV, Nike, Crooks, Hundreds, Supreme give their clothes away to homeless ppl. NO so %$*$
3) It would take away from their demand.
its just alot. I wouldnt do it either.
Not saying that I dont have a heart for ppl in need but, business is business.
