Launched in late July 2026, the online resale company Mosey allows parents to trade children's clothing for store credit. The service aims to simplify the process of clearing out kids' closets by using a mail-in bag system for inventory.
Why it matters
The company seeks to streamline the logistics of managing children's outgrown clothing by providing a structured resale outlet for families. This model offers a predictable way for households to recoup value from garments that no longer fit.
Customers purchase a $25 bag and receive between $30 and $50 in store credit per shipment, depending on the item quality. Currently, the company does not accept shoes or bibs as part of its resale inventory.
The players
Leslie Jacoby Hack
A cofounder of Mosey who operates the children's clothing resale business from her base in Wyndmoor.
Lou Lou Goss-Woliner
A cofounder of Mosey who manages the online resale brand while based in Jackson, Wyoming.
The details
To participate, customers purchase a $25 bag to fill with used children's clothing and mail it back to the founders. The company then cleans items that require special care before offering them for sale on their website. Currently, the business is bootstrapped and operates without a physical storefront, relying on two part-time employees.

The Home Front
Mosey follows the documented growth of the circular economy in children's apparel, providing a specialized resale channel for families. This development mirrors a broader shift in household logistics toward more sustainable, value-recouping options for outgrown kids' items.
Families interested in the service should inventory their outgrown children's clothing to see if it meets the company's guidelines, noting that shoes and bibs are not accepted. Keep the planned 2027 warehouse opening in mind if you prefer in-person drop-offs or community clothing swaps.
The takeaway
Mosey simplifies the cycle of outgrown children's apparel by offering store credit in exchange for used clothing. Parents looking to clear space can prepare their gently used items for potential submission, keeping in mind that the company currently excludes shoes and bibs from the collection.
