Philanthropy
According to one of its founders, clothes which do not pass Kindermint's quality control process are donated to charity partner Habitat for Humanity and customers are sent receipts.
Acquisition by ThredUp
Kindermint was sold to ThredUp for an undisclosed amount, as announced February 23, 2015 and Kindermint was wholly divested in the transaction. Kindermint’s inventory was composed of luxury, designer, and boutique brands. The company had been buying and selling secondhand kids clothing in mint condition since inception and is recognized as an early pioneer in the designer resale space.
“Kindermint’s commitment to quality, the environment, charity, and loyal parent customer base made this a very appealing acquisition for us,” said James Reinhart, CEO and Co-Founder of thredUP.com “We’re a natural extension of the Kindermint brand. Customers can now adopt online resale even further with the ability to shop and sell for themselves as well as their kids on thredUP”.
