The solution aims to offer a sustainable, cost-effective, practical and environmentally friendly alternative to buying new clothes for mums-to-be and babies. The solution is based on the rental of second-hand/unsold maternity/baby clothes (thus contributing to circular consumption) in sets containing most of the pieces needed for one size. We offer a subscription system with monthly payments, including one return per month. The pieces are carefully selected according to the preferences expressed by customers, who then receive their box at home, use the clothes and return them free of charge. Every time you rent our second-hand clothes, you save the water, electricity and greenhouse gas emissions needed to produce new clothes, and you extend the life of many mums-to-be and babies' clothes, all for less than half the price of buying new clothes.

The Environmental Benefits

  • When you rent a second hand/unsold T-shirt or pair of jeans, you save the equivalent of 70 showers (T-shirt) and about 285 showers, which represents 7,000 to 10,000 litres of water (pair of jeans) used to produce new ones
  • The rental of a second hand jeans avoids the production of 15 kg of CO2 equivalent, necessary for its manufacture, from the cotton field to the shop door
  • One box contains between 44 and 67 clothes from every types (bodysuit, pyjamas, bonnet, socks, cardigan and sleeping bag)
  • All clothes can be rent from one to more than five time depending of the quality

The Financial Benefits

  • By using our solution, you divide by 1 to 4 the money spent to purchase the same set of clothes in mass distribution
  • For example using our box for 12 months will cost you 948.-. In comparaison buying 44 new items at a price of 10.- per item and six time
