sustainable style & play
At Once Upon A Child in Ann Arbor, we are all about making life a little bit easier for you. We do that by providing a great selection of gently used kid’s clothes, shoes, toys, furniture and baby gear. Just by buying and selling these items at our stores, you are taking sustainable actions while saving up to 70% off retail!
When you bring in your gently used kid’s clothing and shoes, toys, baby gear and furniture, you are helping make the earth a better place. Recycling clothing can save thousands of gallons of water and millions of barrels of oil. Selling your gently used items to our stores allows other kids to enjoy them again. That helps cut down the emissions of toxic chemicals and gases that are generated when new textiles and other materials are created to make brand-new toys and baby gear.
