Lucy and Yak is an independent and ethical clothing company that is best known for its trendy and super comfortable dungarees (my pair have been my saviour over lockdown). Selling these staple dungas as well as jeans, shirts and more, Lucy and Yak keeps sustainability and ethics at the forefront of its business, resulting in great quality, lasting and well-loved clothing. Its climate impact is heavily reduced by using recycled materials and low impact dyes, and by hand making clothes (of which the workers are compensated fairly for). Its use of models of different ages, races and body types rocking all of their colourful clothing is awesome — and just goes to show that their products suit everybody.
