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.
