Jeans donors to get £10 off Levi's in charity link-up

Levi-Strauss is to offer consumers £10 off a new pair of jeans in return for donating their old jeans to charity, in its biggest promotion for its core originals range for more than 15 years.

The promotion is a tie-up with charity WarChild. Old pairs of any brand of jeans brought to Levi's stockists will be donated to kids caught in war zones. In return, donors will receive £10 off the purchase of a new pair of Levi's 501s or Levi's 525 girls' bootcut jeans.

Dubbed 'Get it off to get it on', the promotion kicks off on May 15 backed by a radio campaign through Bartle Bogle Hegarty and in-store support.

It comes as Levi's is changing its pricing strategy for its Red Tab originals brands. From July 1, it is cutting £10 off the price of any jeans in the range, which incorporates labels such as 501s, but excludes Levi's newer products such as Engineered Jeans.

"This is a fundamental shift in strategy. We want to ensure we are continuing to appeal to a wide range of consumers,

said Rachel Johnson, field marketing director, Levi-Strauss Northern Europe.

The changes come as Levi's fights to turn around the brand, which has been dogged by falling sales.
