What Our Feature in Drapers Means to RENES

Being featured in industry leading publication Drapers magazine, is a truly special milestone for all of us at RENES Fashion.

Drapers is one of the most respected voices in the UK fashion industry, so to share our story on such a platform is both humbling and incredibly meaningful.

Following the honour of being named Drapers Independent Icon of the Year, the feature gave us the opportunity to reflect on our journey as we enter our eighth decade on Lancaster’s high street.

It allowed us to celebrate our legacy as a family business, while also talking honestly about the realities of independent retail today, the challenges we have faced, and the creativity and resilience needed to keep evolving.

Most importantly, it was a chance to highlight what has always mattered most to us, our customers, our team, and our community. Independent boutiques play a vital role in bringing personality, service, and connection to the high street, and we are proud to be part of that story.

This recognition is not just about us. It belongs to everyone who has supported RENES over the years and continues to be part of our journey.
