To quote that wonderful phrase from Mary Poppins! So many clothes are worn just a handful of times. In fact, the average garment is worn just 7 times before we get rid of it.

Many of our children's clothes are worn far fewer times (if at all) because they grow so fast. Pre-loved items are often new with tags, unworn with tags removed or have very few (if any signs of wear) so get ready for some serious quality kids’ clothing coming your way. We have set out a handy guide to what common abbreviations mean in our FAQs. 

R is for re-loved

‘Pre-loved’ means a wonderful garment that's had a previous owner and that’s just waiting to be re-loved. What could be better!

E is for Environment

Want to give your child a cleaner planet? (check!) want to reduce pollution? (check!) want to limit CO2 emissions? (check!) want to reduce water waste? (check!) want to reduce textile waste to landfill? (check!) want to hug a tree (check! – ok so it’s easy to get carried away).

It's easy to be light hearted about such a great option for kids' clothing but the environmental impact of the textile industry is real. If you would like to learn more about this. Check out our FAQs for some great, trustworthy links.
