how we're different

  • we're hi-low

    Our new approach to secondhand kidswear means you can get credit for the premium pieces and the everyday styles. In other words, the actual mix of clothes in your kid's closet.

  • credit is instant

    No long processing periods, no selling windows. We add credit to your account the moment your trade is processed so you can put it towards the next size up right away.

  • reuse above all

    Kids' clothes don't belong in a landfill, period. Styles in good condition that don't earn credit are passed along to charity or reuse partners, upcycled or stored until they're in season.

have mostly worn out items?

Clothing that's stained or excessively worn is not fit for reuse, resale or donation, but it doesn't need to be trashed. Keep it from the landfill by passing it to a recycling partner.

trade faq

  • what do you accept?

    Just like other secondhand children's shops, we accept gently used baby and children's items  (up to size 6) in good condition, without stains or other excessive wear. 

    This includes both premium, higher-ticket styles and inexpensive everyday styles.

    We also accept costumes for ages 3+.

  • how do I earn credit?

    Credit is determined based on demand, seasonality, quality and condition. 

    There are two ways to earn:

    Earn 40% on items listed individually for $20 or more or 30% on items listed individually for less than $20.

    Earn a flat fee of $0.50 - $3.00 for items accepted for capsules. Yes, even onesies!

  • how long does it take?

    Trades appointments take less than 30 minutes and credit is available right away.

    Trades dropped off with a Relove Hub partner take a little longer, usually a maximum of two weeks.

  • can I include off-season items?

    Yes. Please note that because we pay to store these items, they don't earn credit. This is a great option for when you need to clean out and want to do so ethically.

    Summer styles are considered in season from January - June. Winter styles are considered in season July - December.

  • how do I use my credit?

    You'll get an email from our system with the amount of credit earned when your trade is processed and can shop immediately.

    You'll need to create an account, which you can do with your email or Shop.

    Credit earned is linked to the email used when you book your appointment or register your drop off. The available amount shows up on the checkout page.

  • what to do with stained items?

    To avoid trashing them, these can be passed along to a textile sorting and recycling company. 

    In New York City, many Greenmarkets partner with Wearable Collections or Green Tree Textiles for this.

    We also sell Retold recycling bags which enable you to mail in these styles from almost anywhere in the U.S.
