We have something going on here in Switzerland called Children Cloth Exchange (Kleiderbörse). Almost every village organizes some of those exchanges during the year. You can bring the children cloths you don’t need anymore, add a price tag and hope somebody will buy it. And of course you can buy clothes from others at very cheap prices. It’s kind of a secondhand party for children.
Last week one of those exchanges was organized just around the corner. And we made a big deal: we bought a bike trailer seating two children, very cheap and in very good condition (color: yellow).
When I went along to the place to pick up the trailer, I had a look around for some other clothes. Our boy is now just over 8 month and he needs new clothes all the time. I found two nice shirts, bought them and placed them proudly on the table at home so my wife can see my catch when she gets home from work.
She got home, looked at them and said: “Well nice. But the color…”

I live in New Orleans and year by year buy children’s clothing and equipment in our’s Children’s Clothing Exchange. The stuff is fine quality “used but not abused”.
The “Kleiderbörse” sounds like a brilliant idea. Wish they had something like that around here!
