Burberry partners with Elvis and Kresse to tackle waste created by leather industry

The Burberry Foundation has entered into a five-year partnership with London-based sustainable accessories brand Elvis and Kresse to address and tackle the waste created by the leather industry.

The new creations will be designed and sold by Elvis and Kresse, with half of the profits being donated to charitable causes focused on renewable energy, while the remaining half will be reinvested by Elvis and Kresse to expand their work in reducing and reusing waste, protecting the environment and inspiring craftspeople.

In addition to creating new leather products, the partnership will also generate apprenticeship and work experience opportunities with Elvis and Kresse and aim to reach thousands through public events, competitions and workshops.
