Repair, lend, buy back: how clothes stay in wear longer

Clothing does not have to be new to be loved. At HACOY, we believe in the power of keeping our pieces in wear for longer. Our program Circular Orbit is the practical side of our promise to make clothes that are made to be kept.

Repair

We are proud to offer a repair service for all HACOY owners. HACOY Members are seen first, and the owner pays the way there and HACOY pays the way back. A repair takes about ten working days. We do not want a small tear or a loose button to be the end of a garment's life. The repair service is part of the slow fashion mindset.

Lend

Renting is a great way to borrow a piece for an occasion, a dinner or an interview, instead of buying it for one. The process is arranged directly with HACOY. Renting is another way to keep a piece in wear for longer, and it lets you enjoy a piece without the commitment of ownership.

Buy back and resale

When a piece has done its time with its owner, we can buy it back. This keeps the piece in circulation. Owners can also sell their pieces on to others in the HACOY app. Resale is a way to share the love of a piece with someone else, and it keeps the piece in wear for longer.

ReviveWear

ReviveWear gives sample pieces, one of a kind pieces and pre-owned pieces a second life. This is how unsold and sample pieces stay in circulation. We do not destroy them. ReviveWear is a way to keep a piece in wear for longer, and it lets you enjoy a piece that has a story.

Meet your piece

Every HACOY piece carries a passport called Meet your piece. It shows what the piece is made of, where it was made and how to care for it, so that it can be kept well for a long time. Meet your piece is the key to keeping a piece in wear for longer.

Why it matters

Caring for our clothes is an act of love, for the people who made them and for ourselves. When we care for what we own, we slow things down, and every piece becomes one you keep. The more we keep a piece in wear, the less we need to buy. Our program Circular Orbit is a way to keep our pieces in wear for longer, and it is a way to care for our clothes.
