In Pictures: Burberry's recycled childrenswear capsule

Burberry has launched its childrenswear Remake capsule, featuring over 30 styles that heavily consist of surplus fabrics and yarns from previous collections.

The new offering spans all key product categories, including classic outerwear styles in miniature proportion, as well as a selection of jersey hoodies, sweatshirts and mouliné knits.

Burberry has attached a ‘multiple owners label’ to certain pieces, encouraging them to be passed down.

This is not the British heritage brand’s first foray into sustainable childrenswear. In 1911, the luxury house crafted a selection of children's pieces from surplus fabrics in an effort to reduce waste and utilise leftover materials.

The collection also includes reinterpretations of Burberry motifs, such as the duck and Thomas Bear teddy. The duck has been a recurring motif in Daniel Lee’s designs and features throughout the capsule, included on all ready-to-wear pieces as well as on the cashmere blend socks and a knitted baby gift set comprised of a cashmere hat and sweater. Thomas Bear has undergone a patchwork makeover "to further reinforce the circular theme of the capsule".

Caroline Laure, VP of Corporate Responsibility at Burburry, said: "Our rich history in craftsmanship spans many categories including childrenswear, and we are delighted to bring this special capsule to life in time for the festive season. Through our dedication to circularity, we were able to transform our surplus fabrics and yarns into a capsule that will add another chapter to this wonderful story."
