The Best Place to Rent & Buy Stylish Sustainable Clothing for Children
A Rental and Shopping Experience for Children’s Sustainable Clothing
It’s no secret children grow way too quickly to spend a lot of money on clothes they will only wear for a few months to a year. We have been fortunate to receive lots of hand-me-downs from friends, but I’ve been amazed at how many clothes we’ve gone through when doing our 6-month closet clean-out. For Elliott, we mostly thrift his clothing if we don’t have something given to us by a friend; however, I never thought of the idea of renting him clothes until Borobabi came on my radar. I find this company to be such a brilliant idea, and I would have loved to have had this from the beginning!
If you have children ages newborn to 6, please keep reading to see how you could benefit from this service and all the deets on how it works…
Reasons to Love Borobabi
Save Time:
Why would this save you time? Well, it’s because they have personal stylists who create a bundle of clothing for you. I’ll explain how this works further down in the post, but it makes life so much easier. No more spending hours scrolling through clothes to find what you want; they do it all for you!
Save Money:
Sustainable fashion brands for children are not cheap and easily accessible to everyone. Renting clothes makes it easier for more people to participate in the sustainable fashion movement without spending much money. You can even create bundles of used clothing with Borobabi, too, so you can save additional money going this route.
Lower Your Carbon Footprint:
This probably goes without saying, but you are significantly lowering your carbon footprint by renting clothes and returning them for someone else to love later on. With over 80 pounds of clothing waste per person ending up in landfills each year, renting has never looked so appealing.
Support Sustainable Brands:
All the brands at Borobabi have high regard for the planet and people. As an advocate for the fashion industry, I don’t believe in buying just secondhand. We need to support the brands who are doing it right to help clean up the entire fashion industry. I find renting from conscious brands an excellent alternative to thrifting and buying new.
Super-Cute Clothes:
I have to add this into reasons to love because I loved Elliott’s bundle so much! I feel like they picked everything out so perfectly for him. Also, if you end up falling in love with something you can’t part with after a few months, you always have the option to buy!
How Borobabi’s bundle service Works
You can always purchase or rent directly from their shop page, but the bundle service is where it’s at. Borobabi curates stylish, ethically made bundles of sustainable children’s clothes just for you and your child. Your first step would be to complete an easy style quiz, and then their team of real mom stylists will curate 7 items for you to shop from home. This is where you can also choose if you would like to receive new or pre-loved items, and then once you receive your bundle, you have five days to decide what you would like to buy, rent or return (& you do all of this right on your phone from a text message link). Each bundle comes with a return label in case you need to return anything you do not like. If you buy or rent all 7 items, they credit back the $1 curation fee!
A few more important things to note…
On average, parents rent for 4-6 months, and items are charged monthly. You can get a better idea of renting prices by checking out their main shop here. By renting, you can save 75% off retail prices. If you choose to purchase an item, Borobabi gives you a LIFETIME RETURN CREDIT where you can send it back when you no longer need it, and you receive 20% of the original purchase price to use as store credit. This way, they can close the loop and support circular fashion. Also, they understand kids can be messy, and they accept clothes in any condition without penalty.
As someone who has personally used this service, I can’t say enough good things about it. It’s so effortless to use, and they do a fantastic job at curating the perfect bundle for your child! I look forward to using this service again & again.
