Muddy Puddles Preloved – Why Second Hand Kids’ Clothing is Good for the Planet
We're very excited to announce the launch of Muddy Puddles Preloved - the new platform for buying and selling second hand Muddy Puddles kids clothes.
We’re passionate about creating high quality clothing for children, that is not only made sustainably from recycled materials, but is also made to be passed on and enjoyed for years to come. By buying and selling preloved garments, you can help us to create less of an impact on the planet, and keep our clothing out of landfill.
What are the benefits of buying second hand clothing for kids?
Kids outgrow clothes in the blink of an eye, so shopping second hand is a brilliant way to keep up with them. It’s kinder to your wallet, gentler on the planet, and full of hidden treasures — lovely, high-quality kit that’s ready for another round of adventure. Plus, it’s a wonderful way to show children the value of reusing and treading a little lighter on the earth.
1) Affordability
Buying second hand kids clothes is a clever way for parents to stretch their pennies while still kitting out their little explorers in top-quality gear. On average families can save 50–70% compared to buying new — that means more outfits to mix, match and muddy, and less guilt when it’s time for a wardrobe refresh. Smart, sustainable, and adventure-ready!
2) Sustainability
Give clothes a second chance! Choosing second hand isn’t just great for your little one’s wardrobe — it’s a big win for the planet too. The fashion industry creates around 10% of global carbon emissions, and shockingly, most textiles still end up in landfill. But when we pass clothes on, we keep them out of the bin and in the great outdoors where they belong — climbing trees, splashing in puddles and having more adventures. It’s a small step that makes a mighty difference.
3) Quality and Design
One of the loveliest things about shopping preloved is uncovering those hidden gems — colours, prints and quirky designs you won’t spot in the shops. They’re full of character, just like your little adventurers, and add a splash of fun to their everyday outfits. You’ll also find top-notch quality that’s made to last — perfect for passing down to younger siblings, cousins or friends. All without the brand-new price tag. Hooray for hand-me-down magic!
