Suit trade-in bonus: CHF 200 for your old suit

If you bring one of your old suits when you buy a new made-to-measure SuitArt suit, you get a suit trade-in bonus of CHF 200. (The German name, Abfrackprämie, is a pun: Frack means tailcoat, and Abwrackprämie is the car scrappage bonus.)
In 2009, for example, Germany introduced a scrappage bonus for cars: you got it when you scrapped an old car and registered a new one. In the same way, you can now bring your old tailcoat (or suit) to us instead of leaving it unworn in the wardrobe for years.

Also valid when you buy a wedding suit

The offer is valid on every purchase of a new SuitArt suit (wedding suits included).
SuitArt is launching this offer because of the current difficult situation.
The offer is valid until 30 August 2020.

What happens to the suits you trade in?

We don’t just dispose of your old suits. We donate them to Malawi, the third-poorest country in the world, where they go to local tailors. For these micro-entrepreneurs the suits are valuable raw material and welcome support. People in countries like Malawi are hit even harder by the economic changes.

Here is a report on the situation in Malawi:

In our district, Blantyre, which, along with Lilongwe, has the best infrastructure in the country, there are 12 intensive care beds in total. However, nowhere in Malawi are patients intubated, which means nobody is put on a ventilator. So from the start the motto was prevention, prevention, prevention, to stop the coronavirus from spreading in the country. The first measures, such as school closures, came into force on 23 March, when we did not yet have a single coronavirus case in the country. On 2 April the first case was registered in the capital, Lilongwe. (...)
To prevent an outbreak, the Ministry of Health decided on a complete lockdown. This means people may only go out for basic needs. All other work that cannot be done from home is banned. After the lockdown was announced, there were several large demonstrations. People fear they will starve, because a large part of the population depends on daily earnings to buy food each day. The Supreme Court then upheld an objection to the lockdown, so it has been postponed to this day. - Nadja Levson, Malawi
