Conveniently browse for second hand kids clothes at these online retailers.
Second-hand kids clothes can be a great way to save money and help the environment at the same time. Not only are second-hand clothes available at bargain prices, but they also offer unique styles that may be hard to come by in the average store.
Buying second hand clothing has come a long way from having to spend hours browsing op shops that are overstuffed and barely sorted. Shopping for second hand clothes online is so easy because you can do it at any time of day and you can apply plenty of filters to narrow your search such as size and brands.
Why buy second hand baby clothes and kids clothes?
There are so many reasons to buy baby and kids clothes second hand as well as for kids and adults.
From a sustainability perspective, it keeps clothing in circulation longer and avoids it from being sent to landfill. Buying preloved clothing instead of new also avoids supporting the fast fashion industry which not only negatively affects the environment in terms of water use, water pollution and carbon emissions from production and transport but is also known for its unethical treatment of workers.
Particularly for baby and children’s clothes, they grow out of them so quickly that even more waste is created by buying new clothes than when buying new clothes as adults.
Second hand clothing is also amazing for your bank account. Second hand kids clothes will always cost less than buying new which means being able to afford better quality clothes that will last longer. And even if money isn’t tight; everyone loves a bargain!
Remember the sustainable sourcing hierarchy
Use what you already have – do your kids really need new clothes or do clothes from last season still fit? Can clothes from an older sibling be passed down to another sibling?
Borrow from friends and community – Accept hand me downs from a friend or put your hand up for a bundle of clothes offered in a Buy Nothing group. It’s free and you can get a whole pile of new (to you) clothing for your kids. Second hand baby clothes in particular are always being offered because they are grown out of so quickly but most people have bought tons of tiny baby outfits out of excitement.
Rent – Did you know there are baby clothing rental services? They send you a bundle of clothing in your requested size and when your child outgrows them you can swap them for the next size up. This is also a great option for anyone who hates clutter because the too small clothes get cleared away immediately.
For baby clothing rental, check out Conscious Koala, Numidan and Curious Kind.
Buy second hand – Buying from op shops is a great way to buy second hand and there’s something satisfying about browsing through and also supporting charities. But for when you don’t have time to browse or need something quite specifically, these online stores are a huge time saver.
