Buy Back and Circularity
We are committed to using circular processes at wear on kids clothing. We will repair pieces, if needed, before reselling to ensure they live on and on and on. Once a piece can no longer be reworn or repaired and it's reached the end of its useful life, the components will be repurposed, recycled or returned safely to the environment. As a materials-based business, we want to take responsibility for the resources we use and the products we create.
Read on for more information about the benefits of our circular kids fashion loop, and how you can become a part of it!

How our Buy Back and Repair Program Works

STEP B: Buy Back and Repair
Once you are ready to pass on any wear on kids clothing or select Haven Kids Clothing pieces:
-
- ensure the pieces are clean and package them up - we love when customers reuse shipping materials like bags and boxes;
- include a note inside the package with the full name and email address of the person/account you would like the shop credit applied to (if any of the pieces are in need of repair, please indicate those details on the note you place inside the package); and
- address and ship the package to, or drop off at: Wear On Kids Clothing Inc. (4291 199A Street, Langley, BC, V3A 4V5).
-
Once we have received the package and assessed the pieces, a shop credit will be applied to the person/account indicated and a summary emailed within two (2) weeks of receiving the package. Please refer to the Potential Shop Credit section below regarding a piece's condition and the shop credit amount you can expect to receive.
-
Please note:
- Customers are responsible for any shipping costs incurred.
- While we accept all wear on kids clothing, we only accept select Haven Kids Clothing pieces (i.e. Haven Kids styles now in production by wear on kids clothing).

STEP C: Resell and Wear On
Clothing we receive back will be assessed and posted in the preloved section of our shop for resale. We want our clothes to wear on and on and on.
