TAKE BACK
TAKE BACK with RUBY Says Recycle
Although we believe our RUBY + Liam pieces are made to be worn and kept forever, we recognise that like everything in this world, you can change, evolve and move on.
We also know that our Rubettes see the importance in circularity and extending the life of their clothing. It makes us so excited that they will have the possibility of shopping for a piece they thought they missed out on, at an even sweeter price.
Want to join the movement?
We believe that a thriving future for our industry exists in a truly circular system. We envisage RUBY to be a place that celebrates both new and second hand clothing. We want 25% of our sales to come from RUBY Says Recycle by 2030 and since the launch of RUBY Says Recycle in 2021, we are well on our way...

SAMPLES
A garment created during our production process to understand best fit and construction. Samples can be one-of-a-kind in fabrics or styles you haven’t seen from RUBY before, they could be the very first prototype or the final sample used in one of our lookbooks.
SECOND HAND
With a few special memories behind it already, a second hand piece has been contributed to RUBY Says Recycle by a Rubette who would love to rehome it to another Rubette - second life here we come!
VINTAGE
In the spirit of looking back to look forward, a RUBY Says Recycle vintage piece has been hand-picked by one of our RUBY team on our overseas adventures.
SECOND
Perfectly imperfect, for whatever reason a Second has incurred small quirks or minor flaws that have prevented this piece from landing in a RUBY store.
