The company began in a van in New Zealand and has become wildly popular for its statement-patterned dungarees and boiler suits.
We previously told how plans have been submitted for the new branch on Edinburgh's busy Rose Street.
The shop replaces American restaurant Calistoga.
In a post on social media, the fashion brand confirmed it would be opening its first ever Scottish store.
The post read: "We thought it was about time for our Scottish debut.
"See you soon Edinburgh."
Shoppers were left excited by the news and flocked to the comments.
One person said: "At least we finally have one in Scotland. Come to Aberdeen next!"
Another wrote: "Oh my gosh I am excited and skint already. It definitely was time for a Scottish one."
A third commented: "OMG is it Christmas again already?"
High street chain with 185 stores launches 70% off closing down sales ahead of 25 shops shutting
A fourth added: "Hurrah! Can't believe it's taken so long!"
While a fifth said: "That's the news we were waiting for."
Lucy and Yak was founded in 2017 by couple Christopher Renwick and Lucy Greenwood.
He had started by making tobacco pouches from old clothes in New Zealand, whilst living in a van they called Yak.
They soon moved back to their home of Barnsley, South Yorkshire, and whilst selling second-hand clothes, realised the popularity of dungarees.
After sourcing materials from India, they began to sell their signature dungarees in a variety of different styles.
And now they have stores all across the UK - with the first opening in Brighton in 2019.
All the fabrics used by Lucy and Yak are sustainable, such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, or dead stock fabric left over from other brands.
They also use bamboo, linen made from flax, hemp fabric, and Lenzing Ecovero which is an eco-responsible viscose fabric.

Moses Itauma net worth and how much he is getting paid for Dillian Whyte fight
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PROMISING heavyweight Moses Itauma is set for a huge payday as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career. Moses Itauma made his boxing debut in January, 2023 when he fought and beat Marcel Bode at Wembley. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Moses Itauma is set for a massive payday as he takes on Dillian Whyte this Saturday Credit: PA Since then, the 20-year-old star has appeared in 11 more professional fights and won all of them. The young boxer will earn his biggest paycheck yet this Saturday as he fights in a blockbuster affair against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte. What is Moses Itauma's net worth? Itauma has been in some big fights in his short career, most notably beating Mike Balogun via a second round knockout in May. He is the current holder of the WBO intercontinental heavyweight title. The Brit defeated Ilja Mezencev on May 18, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to win the title and has since defended it twice. According to Bet365, Itauma has a reported net worth of £450k - but this figure is solely based on his estimated boxing purses. This reported net worth will sky rocket after his fight with Whyte as he is set to earn almost double his career earnings in one fight. Itauma will hope a victory will lead to a mammoth fight against undisputed champ Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO belt. What is Moses Itauma's purse for the Dillian Whyte fight? According to sources online, Moses Itauma is guaranteed $1million (£753k) while opponent Dillian Whyte is guaranteed $2.5million (£1.8million). Depending on pay-per-view numbers, Itauma could earn another $500k (£376k) and Whyte could earn a further $1m (£753k). This would take the total for Itauma to $1.5million (£1.1million) and Whyte to $3.5million (£2.6million). When is Moses Itauma vs Dillian Whyte and what TV channel is it on?

So if your purse is feeling tighter than ever before but you're desperate to eat out with your kids, you'll be pleased to know that you've come to the right place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Mum-of-seven Paris Fury has shared a simple way she saves cash during the school holidays Credit: Instagram 4 So if you want to eat out and not have to spend a fortune, you'll need to listen up to Paris' simple hack Credit: Instagram 4 Paris recently tied the knot to her husband Tyson for the third time Credit: Instagram @tysonfury 4 Despite a weekly paycheck of almost £4,000, she often shares ways to save cash online Credit: instagram/@parisfury1/ Despite her weekly paycheck of £3,800, this mum-of-seven is often on the hunt for ways to pocket pounds. The blonde beauty, who often does her food shopping in Asda, has taken to social media to reveal how she goes out for lunch with her little darlings without breaking the bank. Posting on her Instagram stories, the 35-year-old, who has a down to earth personality and is fiercely loyal, uploaded a sweet snap alongside her three daughters whilst at Yo Sushi. As Paris smiled alongside Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four, alongside the post, the influencer, who recently tied the knot for the third time to retired heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, 37, penned: 'Just for the parents on my gram - kids eat free here when you eat [sushi emoji].' The mother, who is said to have a secret wealth that is nothing to do with the Gypsy King's £100million fortune, then added: 'Good to know in school hols.' Parents looking to save cash when dining out are sure to be overjoyed to know that popular chain Yo Sushi on a mission to 'take the pressure off family weekday dinners and give the kids something to smile about this school holiday.' During the school holiday dates, kids can eat free all day in Yo Sushi restaurants when dining with a full-paying adult. While mums and dads can enjoy sushi and Japanese hot favourites, your little ones can tuck into one of their kiddo bento boxes absolutely free of charge. Foodies should know that there is a minimum spend of £10. Despite lucrative brand deals and Paris' secret private company, Paris Fury LTD, having recorded a yearly profit of almost £200,000, this isn't the first time this mother, who previously described herself as a 'DIY queen,' shared a relatable insight into her life. Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson She may live in a 'golden' £1.7million Morecambe mansion and have a £90,000 designer stash with Chanel handbags in every shade, but much like her most recent Instagram post, it appears that Paris continues to be famous for her down-to-earth attitude and bargain hunting antics. As well as saving cash by ensuring her kids eat out for free, we've also seen the star do her clothes shopping in Primark. Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn". Not only this, but she's also proud to have an affordable high street edit with New Look and she's certainly not one to shy away from bargains in B&M. According to Paris, a down-to-earth attitude helps keep her children grounded - and she wants to set a humble example for them. She revealed on the family's Netflix series: 'None of my kids are really the type to say, 'I want this, I want that'. We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something Paris Fury 'Not to sound big-headed, but obviously, if I wanted to go tomorrow and shop out Selfridges' floor, I could do. 'But what am I gonna teach the kids doing that? 'To go and buy five designer handbags, 10 pairs of shoes, diamonds and pearls, what have the kids got to look forward to in life then? 'We don't want the kids to grow up spoiled and not knowing the value of something.' Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club

Bioethanol plant deems lack of Government support an ‘act of economic self-harm'
Vivergo Fuels, near Hull, warned earlier this year that it was in imminent danger of closure as crisis talks continued with the Government. This followed the end of the 19% tariff on American bioethanol imports as part of the recent UK-US trade deal. On Friday, the Government said: 'This Government will always take decisions in the national interest. 'That's why we negotiated a landmark deal with the US which protected hundreds of thousands of jobs in sectors like auto and aerospace. 'We have worked closely with the companies since June to understand the financial challenges they have faced over the past decade, and have taken the difficult decision not to offer direct funding as it would not provide value for the taxpayer or solve the long-term problems the industry faces. 'We recognise this is a difficult time for the workers and their families and we will work with trade unions, local partners and the companies to support them through this process. 'We also continue to work up proposals that ensure the resilience of our CO2 supply in the long-term in consultation with the sector.' Ben Hackett, managing director of Vivergo Fuels, said: 'The Government's failure to back Vivergo has forced us to cease operations and move to closure immediately. 'This is a flagrant act of economic self-harm that will have far-reaching consequences. 'This is a massive blow to Hull and the Humber. 'We have fought from day one to support our workers and we are truly sorry that this is not the outcome any of us wanted. 'This decision by ministers will have a huge impact on our region and the thousands of livelihoods in the supply chain that rely on Vivergo, from farmers to hauliers and engineers.' Mr Hackett said the industry has faced 'unfair regulations' for years that favoured overseas producers, and the recent US-UK trade deal pushed the sector 'to the point of collapse'. He said: 'We did everything we possibly could to avoid closure, but in the end it was the Government that decided the British bioethanol sector was something that could be traded away with little regard for the impact it would have on ordinary hard-working people. 'We did not go down without a fight and I hope that the noise we generated over the past three months will make the Government think twice before it decides to sign away whole industries as part of future trade negotiations.' A spokesman for Associated British Foods, which owns Vivergo, said: 'It is deeply regrettable that the Government has chosen not to support a key national asset. 'We have been left with no choice but to announce the closure of Vivergo and we have informed our people. 'We have been fighting for months to keep this plant open. 'We initiated and led talks with Government in good faith. We presented a clear plan to restore Vivergo to profitability within two years under policy levers already aligned with the Government's own green industrial strategy.' The spokesman said the Government had 'thrown away billions in potential growth in the Humber and a sovereign capability in clean fuels that had the chance to lead the world'. The bioethanol industry, which also includes the Ensus plant on Teesside, has argued the trade deal, coupled with regulatory constraints, has made it impossible to compete with heavily subsidised American products. Vivergo said the Hull plant, which employs about 160 people, can produce up to 420 million litres of bioethanol from wheat sourced from thousands of UK farms. It has described bioethanol production as 'a key national strategic asset' which helps reduce emissions from petrol and is expected to be a key component in sustainable aircraft fuel in the future. The firm recently signed a £1.25 billion memorandum of understanding with Meld Energy to anchor a 'world-class' sustainable aviation fuel facility at the site. But Meld Energy said earlier this month uncertainly over the bioethanol industry was putting this plan in jeopardy. The Vivergo plant is also the UK's largest single production site for animal feed, and the company says it indirectly supports about 4,000 jobs in the Humber and Lincolnshire region. Vivergo has said it buys more than a million tonnes of British wheat each year from more than 4,000 farms, and has purchased from 12,000 individual farms over the past decade. But it took its last wheat shipment earlier this month. The farmers' union described the imminent closure of the Vivergo plant as a 'huge blow'. NFU combinable crops board chairman Jamie Burrows said: 'Not only is it terrible news for those hundreds of workers who will lose their jobs but also for the thousands of people whose livelihoods depend on this supply chain – that includes local farmers who have lost a vital market for their product.' The Ensus plant in Teesside differs from the Vivergo operation because it also produces CO2 as part of the process. Ensus, which is owned by CropEnergies, part of the German firm Sudzucker, is the UK's only large scale manufacturer of CO2, which is used in a wide range of sectors, including in drinks and the nuclear industry. Grant Pearson, chairman of Ensus UK, said on Friday: 'I met with Sarah Jones, the minister for business, today, to receive the Government's response to our request for financial support and the policy changes required to ensure that the Ensus facilities can continue to operate. 'The minister confirmed that they value both our contribution to the UK economy, the jobs we provide and support in the north east of England and in particular our production of biogenic CO2 which is a product of critical national importance. 'They are therefore looking at options to secure an ongoing supply of CO2 from the Ensus facility. 'This is positive news, however it is likely to take time to agree upon and finalise and therefore urgent discussions will be taking place to provide a level of assurance to the Sudzucker and CropEnergies' boards that there is a very high level of confidence that an acceptable long-term arrangement can be reached.'
