RUBY SAYS RECYCLE ~ ALWAYS!

Mastering the mix of celebrating both new and second hand, Take Back with RUBY Says Recycle has earned its spot on the main menu. Offering samples, seconds & second hand pieces to be shopped in all RUBY IRL stores, you can join the movement at any time and share your pre-loved RUBY & Liam pieces with your fellow Rubettes.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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.

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.

Is TAKE BACK still on?

YES! Contribute your pre-loved RUBY + Liam pieces in any RUBY
store around the country. You can shop our TAKE BACK edit online here, or in a RUBY store near you now...

How do I take part?

How much can I expect from my items?

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.

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.

When will I hear back from RUBY about the offered price?

RUBY will be in touch with you via email from rubysaysrecycle@rubynz.com within 7 days of being dropped off at your store of choice.

What is the eligibility criteria of TAKE BACK pieces?

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!
