A popular Lancaster fashion boutique has won a prestigious industry award.
Renes Fashion was named Independent Icon of the Year at the 2025 Drapers Awards, one of the most prestigious honours in the UK fashion industry.
The win comes as Renes celebrates its 70th anniversary on Lancaster’s historic high street, marking seven decades of timeless style, community spirit, and exceptional personal service.
Founded in 1955, Renes has built a loyal following of customers from across the North-West and beyond. Known for its carefully curated collections and expert styling advice, the boutique continues to blend heritage with a fresh, contemporary edge.
The Independent Icon of the Year Award recognises retailers who exemplify excellence, innovation, and resilience in a rapidly changing retail landscape, values at the very heart of Renes.
“To win this award in our 70th anniversary year is beyond special,” said Tiffany Moore, owner of Renes.
“Renes has always been about more than just fashion, it’s about people, connection, and community. To be recognised as an Independent Icon means the world to us, and we’re so grateful to our customers, our loyal team, and everyone who has supported us through the decades.
‘’This national recognition from Drapers, the UK’s leading fashion retail publication, shines a spotlight on the enduring power of independent retail and on the special connection between shop, staff, and customer that defines Renes.’’
