RUBY SAYS RECYCLE
Powered by you, our Rubette community, RUBY Says Recycle offers second hand, samples, + seconds to be shopped in select RUBY stores and our standalone RUBY Says Recycle store at 255 Broadway, Newmarket. You can join the movement at any time and share your pre-loved RUBY & Liam pieces with your fellow Rubettes.
Whether you’re finding something you missed the first time, or passing along a piece that has done its dash with you, RUBY Says Recycle keeps the process simple: minimal admin, a voucher in hand before the sale, and the joy of giving another Rubette their chance to love it too. From you to who?
SELL 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.

1ST OWN BRAND SECOND HAND STORE IN AOTEAROA
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...
WHAT IS RUBY SAYS RECYCLE?
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!
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.
SECONDS
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.
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 when finding inspiration on their overseas travels. A growing category that's key to hitting our goal, with exciting developments underway.

RUBY SAYS RECYCLE FAQS
If you are interested in being a part of RUBY Says Recycle, you can contribute your RUBY + Liam pieces and drop them off at any RUBY store. See just how it all works in our guide here.
The items you return to us will be priced at what we believe to be a fair market value for the garment, taking into consideration its age, condition and demand for the piece.
You will receive a RUBY Voucher issued dependent on the agreed resell price:
- Resell price between $0 - $50 = RUBY Voucher at 20%
- Resell price between $50 - $100 = RUBY Voucher at 30%
- Resell price $100+ = RUBY Voucher at 40%
You will receive your RUBY Voucher within 5 working days. You have the right to accept or decline this offer, and have your garment returned to your drop off location, if you wish to wear again or resell yourself.
You can shop RUBY Says Recycle at our RUBY Says Recycle flagship store and at all RUBY stores.
Basically, just go hard! You are our biggest advocates, understand who we are as a company the most, and have pieces that are part of our history. You will notice when it comes to filling out your information when you bring pieces back that we ask for the provenance of the garments. Every piece has a story! We want to tell those stories to the next person who gets to take them into their lives!
