An alleged dust-up over dumpster diving has raised questions about what happens to high end fashion castoffs.

The NZ Herald has reported that a well known local fashion brand has objected to a charity clothing shop digging through its rubbish skip for cast offs, to resell.

We invited Moochi on the programme to talk about the issue but it declined to be interviewed saying it was yet to verify a complaint through formal channels.

Industry organisation Mindful Fashion is working towards a more sustainable sector.

Its programme Director Jacinta FitzGerald says the skip should be a last resort for clothing cast-offs.
