Conscious fashion brand Lucy & Yak is expanding its sustainability programme by taking its in-store Re:Yak workshops online to allow more customers to “return, recirculate and recycle their well loved Yaks”.

Customers can now exchange old products for vouchers to spend either online or in any one of Lucy & Yak’s 11 UK stores.

Through the new online service, items will either be resold or upcycled and repaired by Lucy & Yak’s in-house experts. The mended items will be available for purchase through Lucy & Yak’s stores, online or at The Outlet in Castleford. There will also be limited one off items such as hand embroidered pieces from the Re:Yak Studio.

Lucy Greenwood, co-founder of Lucy & Yak, said: “When [we] launched… in 2017, we realised that, if we wanted to be truly circular, we had a responsibility for the lifecycle of anything we created, even after the customer has ownership of the piece.

“In 2023 we launched our first buyback scheme in our shops, which was a huge success and instantly highlighted the demand for an online presence. Now, rebranded as PreLoved, this has been a real passion project and I can’t wait to see it expand into further regions in the future.”
