Eco lifestyle brand to launch in Exeter

Socially and environmentally-conscious lifestyle brand Lucy & Yak has announced the opening of its ninth store - in Exeter.

The brand's signature pink-painted shop front will welcome customers through the doors on June 28 where they will have the opportunity to explore the latest releases and core collections.

Inside, the new store, (which is accessible from street level) will feature a soft and muted colour palette, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It also has three changing rooms and one accessible changing room, lovingly finished with natural linen curtains and wood furnishings throughout.

Lucy & Yak’s expansion follows the successful launches of new stores in Bristol, Norwich, Nottingham, Cambridge, Manchester, and Cardiff in addition to their beloved flagship store in North Laine, Brighton and the recently-opened sustainability flagship store in The Lanes, Brighton.

These nine new bricks-and-mortar stores are part of Lucy & Yak’s ambition to have a greater physical presence across the UK, providing more opportunities for face-to-face interactions with the Yak community.

Each shop also aims to act as a Re:Yak hub, promoting their circularity initiatives including their buyback scheme, whilst serving as a space for customers to recycle, repair or upcycle their clothes.

“We’re so excited to announce the opening of our next shop, in Exeter, our most southerly shop to date," said Co-Founder, Lucy Greenwood.

"The new space will be another hub for creativity and community, giving us a chance to engage with our customers in person. We plan to continue building our Re:Yak buyback scheme, and upcycling and repair workshops which you’ll be able to browse and book via our website soon. I’ve personally spent a lot of time in Devon, exploring its coastline and hope this opens up further opportunities in the southwest.”

You will find Lucy & Yak at 7 High Street, Exeter.
