buying policies

With a few exceptions, we are purchasing unbranded clothing (no logos, sayings, gender-specific language, etc) up to size 10. We choose our items with great care to ensure that our selection is inclusive for all kiddos and their grown-ups.

The items we purchase must be in excellent used condition. This means:

1. Very little signs of wear (no obvious worn spots, pilling, rips or tears etc)

2. Brand tag and fabric content tags are still attached, with some exceptions.

3. Zips, snaps, buttons and pulls must be intact

4. No stains, odours or discolouration. Smoke free.

Please note: we are not currently accepting socks, underwear or scratch mitts. These items can often be given away in neighbourhood Facebook groups!

We love European and Canadian brands like mini mioche, MEC, bobo choses, petit bateau and Jacadi, but we do accept all other brands of clothing for consideration. This includes items from Walmart, Carter’s, The Children’s Place etc. We are aware that these companies have poor ethical practices and so, remain committed to diverting as much consumption from them as possible. We choose to resell their clothes because it is important to reduce clothing waste AND we know that these items can still find great use! 

We will contact you within two weeks of receiving your items with an offer for what we would like to purchase. Anything we do not buy can be picked up or will be donated on your behalf. Remaining items not picked up two weeks after receiving a payout will be donated.

We payout 10-40% of our sell price, based on the brand, size, style and the quantity we currently have of the item. Payout amounts of $19 or under will only be offered as a store credit.
