Monkei Miles
This adorable consignment boutique is a must for any parent of a fashion bug. With sizes ranging from infant to tweens, Monkei Miles provides quality used clothing at prices you can afford.

Trade in your child’s old clothes for either store credit or a check and enjoy updating their wardrobe with fun and chic items at a fraction of the price.
Sprout

Chloe’s Closet
With two stores in San Francisco (plus one in Berkeley), buying and selling clothes for kids has never been more easy or affordable. Offering name brands you’ll recognize and love, Chloe’s Closet was created by a mom who knew how hard it was to find inexpensive and stylish clothes, especially with how fast kids grow. A new addition to the Bernal Heights location is a kid friendly indoor playroom, perfect for rainy days or just when you want to get out of the house. Admission is free with a purchase of $5 of merchandise per child. Shop in peace or trade in your old clothes while your kids have a fun and safe place to play.
