Richard Branson gets into a Virgin hot air balloon like never before!
- Jan 29, 2010
Richard Branson took the chance to try on a striking jacket made from a retired Virgin balloon during his recent flying visit to the UK.
This Red Hot Air hoodie is one of several products Re:Made by Worn Again from the balloon nylon donated by Virgin Balloon Flights. They are now on-sale online and through selected ethical fashion stores with a percentage of all sales going to Anti-Apathy, the sustainable lifestyles charity.
After trying on the jacket, Richard said: "This is a fantastic collaboration between Virgin Balloon Flights and Worn Again and a really creative way to reduce waste and make sustainable clothing memorable and fun.
"A hot air balloon flight in a Virgin balloon is an amazing experience, and just as every flight is different, these fantastic products are totally unique. Each one has its own story and I hope lots of people will take the chance to own one so that the journey continues with them."
