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.

These 5 beach coverups will take you from the pool to sightseeing
Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Article content Gone are the days when you'd throw on an old T-shirt after a day at the beach. These days, your coverup is as important a part of your summer style lineup as your swimwear itself. Article content Article content What's more, as our travel bucket lists continue to grow, maximizing vacation days and making the most of every hour is crucial, so multi-tasking outfits and pieces that go easily from the swimming pool to sightseeing are also key. Article content Article content Vancouver brand The Sleep Shirt was about to shut down last year when it was, thankfully, rescued by a new owner, Rebeka, whose first collections have included many coverup-appropriate pieces. Our current favourite example? This Pocket Kaftan: A classic silhouette previously released by the brand, in a new vine print that's elegant enough for weekend brunch, long seaside lunches and even cocktail hour. Article content A lightweight, easy breezy tunic is the ultimate summer essential, and this one by Simons' in-house label is made from Lenzing Ecovero viscose, which is a more responsible variant of viscose that's made from sustainable wood and cellulose. With its loose fit, V-shaped neckline, batwing sleeves and open sides, it's the picture of sophistication in optic white. Best of all, its slightly crinkled texture helps disguise wrinkles, so you can throw it in your beach bag and know it'll still look good for impromptu gatherings when the sun sets. Article content Article content Article content After a marathon session at the beach, there's nothing more annoying than putting on something tight and clingy. Instead, reach for this Fitzgerald dress by Babaton. Made from 100 per cent organic linen, it's breathable and lightweight, but completely lined in cotton so you can pull it on and go stylishly to dinner fully supported. Team with flat sandals or mesh shoes for an edgier take. Article content For a more flirty take on the beach coverup, consider this tube romper dress, featuring a two-tiered flirty hem and available in eight colours (we're partial to this 'anise flower yellow,' though the tomato purée red is pretty great, too). With side ruching and integrated shorts, it's an ideal, comfortable choice if there's even a slim chance of any impromptu tabletop dancing happening.
