CONDITION

Every item we sell is preowned. We use the following terms to categorize condition:

Preowned perfect: unworn and may still be in original packaging, with or without tags on.

Excellent used: minimal signs of wear.

Gently used: signs of wear from normal use and washing, such as fading or pilling, or a small mark (indicated by a yellow sticker in the photo). 

Play: visible wear but lots of life left. Great for messy play, daycare, or just getting a bargain! Any damage will be described and/or shown in a photo.

GENDER PER MANUFACTURER

Gender isn't binary, but most large clothing manufacturers design and cut kids clothes this way. Note that clothes labelled for girls or that designed in a feminine style often fit smaller than clothes labelled for boys.

SIZE

Remember that used clothing may have shrunk with washing, particularly 100% cotton - if in doubt, size up! You can always contact us for measurements of an item.

SCENTS

We ask for donations to be clean for pick-up, and we recommend that you wash your purchases before wearing (just as you would when buying new). In the interests of time, energy and water conservation, we do NOT launder clothes before sale. The exception is if I spot a stain I know I can remove!

Families use a wide range of detergents. If you are highly sensitive to scents, please contact us before completing your purchase so I can check if the pieces in your order are scented. I have found that soaking clothing in hot water with sodium percarbonate and then washing with unscented detergent to be highly effective for removing scent.
