My daughter just started prep this year, and I was shocked at how expensive school uniforms are. A friend recommended this platform, and I’m so glad they did. We picked up almost everything she needed—dress, hat, shoes—for less than $100 total.

As someone involved in our school’s PTA, I’ve seen first-hand how hard it can be for families to afford uniforms, especially after growth spurts or changing schools. This platform solves a real problem. I started listing leftover uniforms from our school’s lost property box and was amazed at how quickly they found homes.

Reusing uniforms helps conserve the resources needed to produce new garments—like water, energy, and raw materials.
