Kindermint was an online recommerce business which sells used children's clothing.[1] It was founded in 2012 by Vishal Mahtani in Tampa, Florida.[2][3]

Business[edit]

Kindermint sold both new and used clothing for children of brands like Gymboree, DKNY, Janie & Jack, Oilily, Juicy Couture and Ralph Lauren.[4][5] It was purchasing used children’s clothes in mint condition since April 2013.[6]

Philanthropy[edit]

According to one of its founders, clothes which do not pass Kindermint's quality control process were donated to charity partner Habitat for Humanity and customers are sent receipts.[5][2]

Acquisition by ThredUp[edit]

Kindermint was sold to ThredUp for an undisclosed amount, as announced on 23 February 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 children's clothing in mint condition since inception and was recognized as an early pioneer in the designer resale space.[7] "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."[8]
