(RE)NEW is our take-back program for ELK apparel. Return pieces you’re ready to part with and we’ll give them a second life through resale or responsible recycling.

For every eligible item you return, you’ll receive a voucher to spend on something new. Classic design can be loved again and again. (RE)NEW helps keep pieces in circulation and textiles out of landfill

We currently accept ELK apparel only.

Please check your items against the L.O.V.E.D criteria before submitting. Pieces must be freshly laundered, in very good condition, and include original ELK brand and care labels.

Items with stains, strong odours, holes, heavy pilling, or broken fastenings cannot be resold.

Only ELK branded apparel is accepted at this stage. Accessories, bags, jewellery and footwear are not currently eligible

Bring your freshly laundered, eligible apparel into any ELK retail store. Our team will assess your items on the spot and issue your voucher for approved pieces.

(RE)NEW submissions are not accepted at partner boutiques that stock ELK.

You’ll receive a $10 digital ELK voucher for every approved item.

Vouchers are issued as a total amount for all your approved pieces and sent to your email.

If an item isn’t suitable for resale, we’ll direct it to a responsible recycling solution where materials can be reused or repurposed. you can either take it home without a voucher or leave it with us and we will direct it to a responsible recycling solution where materials can be reused or repurposed. We aim to redirect textiles away from landfill and into appropriate recycling streams wherever possible.

Our primary textile recycling partner is BlockTexx. ELK is the first Australian fashion brand to collaborate with BlockTexx for end-of-life garment recycling. Their process allows blended fibres to be separated and recycled into new materials.

(RE)NEW pieces are available to shop at selected ELK retail stores.

Each location carries an ever-changing edit of returned favourites, so the selection will vary by store and season.

Participation in the ELK (RE)NEW program is subject to assessment of each item upon receipt. Garments must meet the ELK L.O.V.E.D criteria and be laundered and prepared for resale before submission.

By submitting items in store you confirm they have been checked against these criteria and are clean. Only eligible items will receive a voucher, issued per approved piece.

Voucher values are determined by ELK and may vary or change at any time. Ineligible items will not receive a voucher and, where possible, may be responsibly recycled or repurposed by ELK.

Vouchers are non-transferable, not redeemable for cash, and must be used within 28 days from the date of issue.
