Why secondhand makes sense for kids

An average child grows out of 7 clothing sizes per year. Buying new means piles of barely-worn clothes ending up in the bin.

1. Planet

Producing a single t-shirt uses about 2700 liters of water. Secondhand uses zero.

2. Wallet

Families typically save 60–80 % of their clothing budget by buying secondhand.

3. Quality

Older clothes were often better made. A 2019 Petit Bateau dungaree outlasts most new discount pieces.
