What Clothes Can You Send Through The Little Loop? A Simple Guide for Parents

What Clothes Can You Send Through The Little Loop? A Simple Guide for Parents

One of the most common questions we get from parents is: What clothes are okay to send in a Little Loop bag?

The goal of The Little Loop is simple. We want to help kids’ clothes move from one family to another in a way that feels thoughtful, respectful, and easy.

The easiest rule to follow is this:

Send clothes you would feel comfortable giving to your best friend.

If you would happily hand the item to a friend whose child needs clothes, it’s probably perfect for the Loop.

Below is a helpful guide to make sure your bag arrives ready for its next little owner.


What Clothes ARE Great for The Little Loop

The best items to send are gently used everyday clothes that still have plenty of life left in them.

Think about the types of items kids wear all the time.

Great items to include are:

• T-shirts and long sleeve shirts
• Pants and leggings
• Sweatshirts and sweaters
• Dresses and skirts
• Pajamas
• Jackets and coats
• Seasonal items like swimsuits or holiday outfits

These are the kinds of clothes parents are always looking for as kids grow quickly through sizes.

Before adding items to your bag, please make sure they are:

• Clean and freshly washed
• Free from stains or strong odors
• In good wearable condition
• Something another child would be excited to wear

Kids’ clothes naturally show some wear, and that’s okay. What matters most is that they are ready for another child to enjoy.


What We Cannot Accept

To keep the matching process simple and ensure every bag is helpful for the receiving family, there are a few items we ask you not to include.

These include:

Shoes

Shoes are not accepted because shoe sizes do not always match clothing sizes. This makes it difficult to ensure the next child can actually use them.

Underwear

For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept any underwear.

Dirty or Unwashed Clothes

Clothes should always be clean before being sent. This helps create a great experience for the receiving family.

Damaged Items

Please do not send items that are:

• heavily stained
• ripped or torn
• stretched out beyond wear
• missing major pieces like buttons or zippers

Anything You Wouldn’t Pass Along to a Friend

If you hesitate to give it to someone you know personally, it’s best to leave it out of the bag.


Why These Guidelines Matter

The Little Loop is built on a simple idea: moms helping moms.

When each family sends clothes that are clean, wearable, and thoughtfully chosen, it creates a better experience for everyone involved.

It also helps keep more clothing in circulation and out of landfills, which is a huge win for both families and the planet.


When in Doubt, Ask Yourself One Question

Before adding something to your bag, ask:

Would I feel good handing this to my best friend for their child?

If the answer is yes, it’s perfect for the Loop.
