Why Preloved Kids' Clothing is the Future of Fashion

As parents, you'll make countless choices for your little ones. One of the most impactful decisions you can make is how to clothe them! At Secondly, we believe that choosing preloved kids' clothing isn't just a smart financial choice—it’s a step towards a better planet.


1.Did You Know?

Did you know that the fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to global pollution? Producing a single cotton T-shirt requires over 2,700 liters of water—enough to sustain one person for three years! By switching to second-hand kids' clothing, you can play a role in reducing this environmental toll.


2. It's why we started Secondly...

When we launched Secondly, our mission was simple: create a world where sustainable kids-wear is the norm, not the exception. We struggled to find affordable, high-quality clothing that didn’t harm the planet. Preloved fashion changed everything—it gave us the option to choose the planet over fast fashion alternatives.


3. Practical Tips:

If you’re new to vintage kids' clothing, here’s how to get started:

  • Shop Intentionally: Focus on versatile pieces your child can wear across seasons.
  • Care for Clothes Properly: Use gentle detergents to prolong their life.
  • Encourage Circularity: Pass on preloved items once your child outgrows them. Our exchange programme is coming soon!

4. Real Benefits

Why choose preloved fashion?

  • Eco-Friendly: Reduce landfill waste and save resources.
  • Affordable: Get premium-quality garments at a fraction of retail prices.
