Would you consider purchasing secondhand clothing for your children to save money?
Co-founders Leslie Jacoby Hack and Lou Lou Goss-Woliner introduced the online children's clothing resale business Mosey on July 31, 2026. The platform allows parents to mail in used garments in exchange for store credit.
Why it matters
The company aims to address the common parental challenge of disposing of children's clothing that is no longer needed. By offering a streamlined mail-in service, the founders hope to reduce waste while providing an accessible way to circulate gently used items.
Customers purchase a $25 bag to mail in their used clothing, receiving between $30 and $50 in store credit per shipment. The company does not currently accept shoes or bibs.
The players
Leslie Jacoby Hack
She is a co-founder of the online clothing resale startup Mosey and operates from her home base in Wyndmoor.
Lou Lou Goss-Woliner
She is a co-founder of Mosey who collaborates on the business from her location in Jackson, Wyoming.
The details
Mosey operates as a bootstrapped, online-only enterprise without a physical retail space, currently supported by two part-time employees. The business cleans and processes items before listing them on their website for resale.
Timeline
Mosey launched its online operations in July 2026.
A clothing swap event took place in Chestnut Hill in September 2026.
The company plans to open a warehouse in Philadelphia in 2027.
Culture Shift
Mosey follows the pattern set by the broader shift toward circular fashion economies by providing a dedicated channel for second-hand children's apparel. This reflects a growing societal move toward sustainable consumption and away from the rapid disposal of used goods.
Philadelphia residents can anticipate the opening of a dedicated warehouse in 2027, which may offer new localized service options. Parents currently using the service must factor in the exclusion of shoes and bibs when preparing their mail-in bags.
The takeaway
Parents looking to clear space can utilize store credit as a budget-friendly way to shop for the next size of clothing. Consider grouping high-quality outerwear or premium items together to maximize the credit received from each bag.
What happens next
Mosey plans to open a new warehouse facility in Philadelphia at some point during 2027.
