Emmaus North East is thrilled to announce the reopening of our secondhand shop in Low Fell, which has undergone a mini makeover into Lucie’s Loft.  

Named in honour of Lucie Coutaz, a pivotal figure within the Emmaus movement, Lucie’s Loft was opened on May 9th coinciding with Lucie’s birthday, creating a double celebration. 

In addition to the familiar array of secondhand goods, Lucie’s Loft will offers a new and exciting addition to its inventory; Emmaus North East is proud to announce a partnership with Whirlpool, bringing brand new white goods to the shop. This collaboration not only enhances the shopping experience, but also expands the range of offerings, providing shoppers with quality options for their home needs. 

Ruth Parker, Chief Executive for Emmaus North East said: “We are thrilled to unveil Lucie’s Loft, our newly transformed secondhand shop in Low Fell. Named in honour of the remarkable Lucie Coutaz, this unveiling coincides with her birthday. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating as we continue our mission of creating a positive impact through sustainable practices and community engagement.” 

Lucie’s Loft represents a testament to Emmaus North East’s commitment to sustainability by selling preloved fashion ranges for the whole family, as well as the electricals that they repair in house, cleaning and testing them to then resell to prevent them going to landfill. We also have a range of sustainable furniture and repair and upcycle furniture from our workshop in South Shields. 

Lucie’s Loft promises to be more than just a place to shop—it is a destination where stories are shared, connections are made and lives are transformed.
