Raising the standard for children’s secondhand

Curated resale for kids’ clothes and gear — keeping quality items in use and out of landfills.

Why it matters

Why it matters

Most clothing is trashed. The U.S. now generates over 15 million tons of textile waste each year, and about 85% still ends up in landfills or incinerated. Globally, that’s enough clothes to fill a garbage truck every second.

Donating ≠ local reuse. In the U.S., only ~20% of donated textiles are resold domestically; most are exported, down-cycled, or discarded.

Reuse cuts impact fast. Extending a garment’s life by around 9 extra months reduces its carbon, water, and waste footprints by ~20–30%.

How it works

Collect your items

Gather up gently used kids’ clothes, gear, and toys. We especially love quality brands, but don’t worry, we’ll take care of sorting. Even items with stains can be given a second life!

Schedule a pickup or drop-off

If you’re in the SF Bay Area, we’ll come to you or arrange a convenient central drop-off. Outside the area? Ship your items with a pre-labeled bag.

Curation & resale

Our team reviews everything, then cleans, photographs, and lists the best pieces. We’ll make sure resale prices stay fair. You can receive Kin Market credit toward future exchanges, or have us donate on your behalf.

Safe, Verified, and Parent-Approved

  • Every seller is verified, and every item is reviewed before resale. We focus on quality brands and safe products, with clear notes on condition so you always know what to expect.

  • Skip the uncertainty of Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. With local pickup and drop-off in the SF Bay Area, your items move safely within a community of parents — no anonymous strangers, no guesswork.

  • We inspect baby gear and toys for safety (no recalls, no broken parts) and maintain transparent pricing so resale stays fair for buyers and rewarding for sellers.

Join us in building The Kin Market, a safe and sustainable way to extend the life of our kids’ clothes, gear, and toys.
