Everything you need to know
faq
what item categories are included?
Great question!
Every bundle will include two to four looks. The exact items chosen depend on your Style Quiz and our inventory.
For example:
- 2 tops, 2 bottoms, 1 layer
- 2 one pieces, 1 top, 1 bottom, 1 layer
If you are looking for a particular item type (i.e. "desperate for shorts!") just add that note to your order at checkout and we'll do our very best to accommodate.
what condition are the clothes in?
Most pieces are in "Very Good" condition, which means no stains, rips or excessive wear. In other words, most items look like they were worn and washed a few times but have a lot of love left to give.
Some items are in "Excellent" condition i.e. new with tags or appear to be brand new.
A very small portion of our inventory may have a small, hidden stain because the garment is a fantastic style we couldn't pass up, in otherwise very good condition.
how do you handle seasonality?
Temperate capsules feature pieces like t-shirts, pants and sweatshirts.
Cold weather capsules feature pants, long sleeve tops, long sleeve jumpsuits and sweaters, etc.
Hot weather capsules include items like shorts, tees and tanks, sleeveless and short sleeve rompers. We also have swimwear!
are the clothes clean?
Yes! Everything in your capsule arrives ready to wear.
what brands do you carry?
All the ones you know and love—and more.
- Everyday U.S. brands like Cat & Jack, Carter's, Garanimals and Old Navy
- Classic faves like OshKosh and L.L. Bean
- Organic labels like Rabbit Bear, Monica + Andy and Easy Peasy.
- Premium treasures from Hanna Andersson, Crew Cuts, Petite Bateau, etc.
do you have a gender neutral option?
Yes, you can make this selection in your Style Quiz.
At this time we don't list this in the drop down because the reality is that most children's clothing manufactured is gendered to some extent.
That said, we absolutely plan to add it to the dropdown as soon as possible!
will we like the styles we receive?
We're sure of it. Take our Style Quiz to let us know what you're looking for.
how do you handle sizing?
- There are a few questions dedicated to this in our Style Quiz!
- If a garment has a double size listed, for example 6 - 12 months or 4T / 5T, we'll typically include it in a bundle of the smaller size.
- We don't accept items that appear to be very stretched out and no longer true to size.
We do recommend sizing up if you have any concerns—bonus that it's the more sustainable way to go too!
do you offer returns or exchanges?
We will do our best to make sure you are satisfied with your purchase.
If there is an item in your order that does not work based on size or condition, please let us know within 7 days of receiving your order, and we'll provide a bonus item the next time you shop.
If you are unsatisfied with your bundle, you can exchange it for a new one or for merchandise credit. Please reach out within 10 days of receiving your order so we know to expect your return.
We received two mini capsules -4T girl and 5/6 boy and both boxes were fabulous! Each box had items our kids were so excited to see and were so “them” and each box also had a couple of items that are just enough different than what we usually buy - but in such a great way! They are so excited to have something a little different but also still in the general ball park of their go to clothing choices. Thank you!!!
The best clothes - things I would never find. In excellent condition for a fraction of the price. The fact that these are second hand and reduce clothing waste is all the better! Highly recommend Carousel.
I loved using Carousel! I filled out the style quiz and got perfect items for my baby boy. Sustainability is really important to me, I'm so glad to have Carousel available to find pre loved clothes that are well curated and SO cute!
This was so well curated and we can’t wait to use all the clothes this summer! Great concept and hoping Carousel goes far with this genius idea
