Our Laybuy Service
Every now and then we get enquiries about our laybuy service. We offer laybuy the original way you might remember from the 1990's (or earlier); of making manual part payments on an order and receiving your goods once it's fully paid off. Sometimes we're asked why we don't shift to using one of the new online laybuy systems available, and that is a good question which we can happily answer.

Brightness Bundles - send a surprise gift
This week, once again, we’re stepping away from the usual Black Friday frenzy and looking at sharing, giving and caring with our annual Brightness Bundles.
These bundles are for someone in need of a bit of cheer. A gift to brighten someone’s day. This year has been tough for many people, for all sorts of reasons, and we think these small parcels of happiness can do a world of good.

Our Recyclable Packaging + Waste Management
Let's get down to the nitty gritty of fashion retail! It's incredibly common to find that all clothing items you buy in fashion stores are at some point individually wrapped in soft plastics. Clothes are taken out of these packages for display in stores. But the waste is out the back, building up. Since early 2018, we've requested our brands send us stock free of plastic. Many of our brands have been enthusiastically on board with our decision, and we are continuing to push for further change. Here's how we manage waste at Hoopla Kids
