Why Swoperz empowers children when it comes to buying secondhand kids’ clothes

Buying good condition, preloved kids’ clothes online has never been easier, whether you’re keen to be more sustainable or simply want to save money. 

Parents and guardians can find everything from baby clothes and top brand names to school uniforms: all at a fraction of the recommended retail price. 

At Swoperz, we do things a little differently. Ours is the only preloved clothing marketplace where the kids are in control. 

They can choose from a wide selection of clothes, footwear and accessories, and are empowered to swap, sell and find their own style. 

A secure, age-verified space 

We can do this because Swoperz is an age-verified website. Everyone, including parents and guardians, has to prove they are who they say they are. 

After they join the secure Swoperz community, kids aged six to 16 can start to shop: earning digital tokens from every swap they make, which can be spent within the site. 

When they’re ready to swap their own clothes on the site, any images are vetted by their parents or carers to make sure all the information is appropriate and correct. 

Grownups also deal with shipping, leaving the kids free to earn more tokens and swap until they drop!

Great quality preloved kids’ clothes 

Keeping up with the fashion tastes of growing kids can cost a small fortune, particularly when a big brand rolls out a new collection. 

Buying second hand clothing is great because it’s a low-cost source of quality clothes.  

It’s not a lucky dip either. Our uploading process asks the child to rate their clothes’ condition from 1-10 to ensure they are in great or excellent condition. 

But there’s even more to our marketplace than saving money on kids’ clothes and empowering children to find their own style. 

A sustainable alternative to fast fashion

The carbon emissions generated by fast fashion are a global threat to the environment. 

As the statistics below prove, there’s a lot more we can do to minimise its impact.    

  • Every year we throw away 300,000 tonnes of clothes 
  • Every year around £140 million-worth of clothes goes to UK landfill 
  • Less than 20% of used clothes are recycled in the UK

The kids using Swoperz to swap and sell clothes today are the consumers of tomorrow. 

They already know that, thanks to our website, they can buy, wear and swap clothing that is in great condition, without adding to the damage caused by fast fashion. 

Imagine what they will do with that sustainability knowledge when they are adults?
