About

We built this because
the loop was broken.

Two New York moms. Five children between them. A pile of Bonpoint and Mini Rodini at the door — and no proper place to send it.

A pile of outgrown kids clothes
you know,
the bag!
Story

From hallway bags to resale infrastructure.

Kids grow. Closets overflow. Every parent has the same pile by the front door — the cashmere sweater worn three times, the ruffle set they never got to. Too good to donate. Too much work to sell.

Somewhere else in the city, another family is hunting for exactly that size. We were already doing it by hand — texting photos to group chats, pricing on the fly, handing off bags at school pickup. It worked. It didn't scale.

So we built the infrastructure. Outgrown comes to you, takes the pile off your hands, and turns it into credit, cash, or a good deed. You never open an app. You never list a thing. You just hand us the bag. And when you're in need of something unique another family outgrew, you can buy straight from us.

The last thing any parent needs is another side project. You need someone to handle it. That is the work.

How it works

Three steps. You only do one.

01

We send the bag.

A hand-woven tote lands at your door. Fill it with whatever they've outgrown. No photos. No listings. No bubble wrap.

02

We come to you.

Pick a window that works. The school run, after bedtime, Saturday morning. We take it from the doorstep — you don't even have to be home.

03

We do the rest.

Sorted, photographed, priced, sold. Then you choose: store credit, cash, or straight to a New York family through Room to Grow or Good+.

The bag

Made in New York. Out of New York.

We could have ordered a mailer from a catalogue. This felt like the only honest way to move a New York kid's closet across the city.

A piece bought in New York, worn by a New York kid, passed on to another New York family.

  • Made byMade by Alex — a second-generation leather workshop in Manhattan.
  • Right nowTwo bags per founding family — one to fill, one to keep.
  • BasedBrooklyn, New York. The pickup, the sorting, the photography, the handoff — all of it here.
Where the rest goes

Nothing good is wasted.

Not everything in the bag belongs in the edit — the piece that was loved a little too hard, the size we're already deep on. It doesn't get thrown out, and it doesn't get shipped out of state. It goes to New York families, through two organizations that were doing this work long before we turned up.

Charity partner

Good+ Foundation

Pairs essential goods with real services — counseling, employment help, parenting programs — for under-resourced families, out of a New York City warehouse.

Room to Grow

Works with families through a child's first three years, pairing one-on-one parent coaching with clothing, books, and gear at no cost. New York based.

Textile recycling

Some things are simply past wearing. Those don't get thrown out either — we're finalizing a partner so the fabric goes back into circulation instead of into a landfill.

The point

Secondhand should look first-rate.

Not a thrifted afterthought. Not a 47-photo listing on a side-app. A boutique-quality experience for the way kids actually grow — fast, beautifully, and out of every season.

Why

Kids outgrow everything.
The system didn't.

The snowsuit worn twice. The birthday dress. The shoes bought in September. That isn't waste. That's childhood. The value is already there. The system to capture it wasn't.

no thanks!

Selling is painful.

Photograph every item. Write descriptions. Set prices. Negotiate with strangers. Ship individually. Repeat — for clothes worn three months.

help.

Buying is chaos.

Endless scrolling. Unreliable quality. No curation. Inconsistent sizing. Low trust. Buying secondhand should feel like shopping a favorite boutique — not digging through a garage sale.

Founding 25

You got the bag. Here's everything else.

Your founding family page

You already know the basics — fill the bag, text us, we come get it. But being one of the founding twenty‑five comes with a few things we wanted to put in writing.

Since you're helping us build this from scratch, we're skipping the normal payout model entirely. Instead: you're grandmothered in at 40% off for life on Outgrown. Every collection, every season, for as long as we exist.

Plus, we sent you two bags — one to fill, and one that's yours to keep forever. Both are fully made in New York. This is version one. We plan to make many iterations — some our own ideas, some collaborating with local NY artists. Everything Outgrown, made in New York.

The webstore opens this fall. You shop first.

P.S. We meant what we said in the card — please text or email us with any feedback at all. The good, the bad, the "have you thought about..." All of it.

Two promises · in writing

Notes

Things you might ask.

We list our accepted brands above — but if you're unsure about something, toss it in. We'll sort it out and let you know.
The store launches Fall 2026. As a founding family, you get early access before anyone else — and your 40% off never expires.
Once the store opens this fall, here's how payouts work going forward: when your item sells, you choose store credit or cash. For Signature brands (Bonpoint, Kith, Molo, Caramel, etc.) it's 55% of the sale price as store credit or 33% as cash. For Everyday brands (Zara, Baby Gap, etc.) it's 44% as store credit or 22% as cash. Cash hits your account within a few days. If an item hasn't sold after 90 days, we donate it on your behalf — and you can receive a tax receipt.
Yes! Text us whenever you're ready for another pickup. No limit, no waiting period.
They go to our NYC charity partners — Room to Grow, Good+ Foundation, and one more we're finalizing. Nothing is wasted. If you'd rather have them back, just tell us at pickup.
Our NYC charity partners are Room to Grow and Good+ Foundation. Items that don't fit either program go to a third local partner — more on that soon.
Yes — when the store launches, you'll have the option to receive a tax receipt for any items donated on your behalf.
Absolutely. Every 3–6 months — whatever the sweet spot is with you and your kiddos — we'll check in and ask if you'd like us to send another bag your way.
Please. Text us, email us, tell us at pickup. You're shaping this from the ground up — we want to hear all of it.
