Brand Me Downs has a question for YOU!

As you may know, we are working hard behind the scenes to launch our new and improved Everything After The Stork website. It will feature an online consignment shop for all of your favourite Brand Name clothing from baby to teen!

As we say, we love brand names but we love our money more! This will be a way to grab the hottest fashions at great prices without leaving the comfort of your home.

We offer *THE BEST* rates in the city, and we do offer consignment across Canada and the U.S., so if you're not in Winnipeg but still want GREAT rates, contact us. We would LOVE to add your gently used clothing to our closets.

Now, for the question, we run across a lot of great clothes with initials marked on the tags. Does this bother you? The anal Mommy in me doesn't like anything on the tag (though I am guilty of making marks in the past) and the common sense Mommy in Robyn says who cares!? You can't see the initials when your kids are wearing the clothes.

So, our favourite mommies and soon to be customers, what do you think??

  1. I don't think it matters nobody sees the tag :)

  2. I prefer nothing on the tags. But I am also very picky when it comes to buyingused clothing. I prefer to buy things that have only been worn by one child and have not been passed around and borrowed by people. I only buy clothes that are in EUC and only sell things that in EUC. I am actually pretty anal about the clothes my kids own too, you won't find a single stain on anything they own.

  3. I say tags don't matter. These days it is hard to send a child to childcare or school without everything labeled.

  4. I don't care if the tags have marks in them.

  5. It would bug me, but, I place myself in the "anal" camp.

  6. It bugs me as I too an anal lol. I'm not insistant on it, but I would prefer it not to. I don't even do it to my kiddos clothes. I hate when things have tags cut out of them too.

  7. I'm kinda in the middle with this. It only bugs me slightly... Another concern, what if you have to add your kid's initials to the tags for daycare? Could get confusing and make for a busy tag?

  8. Wouldn't bug me either if the clothes are in great shape. I think if some people don't like it than make an abbreviation showing that the tag is marked in the description and then people can decide for themselves if they want it or not.

  9. I think it would bug me if I were paying NEW or EUC prices, but if I was paying a truly discounted price, it would not bother me at all. I would love more information about consigning with you. I have 2 enormous bins of 100%Gymboree/Janie and Jack (it is all I buy, so all my son wears).

  10. Thank you for all of your input - it looks like we're pretty evenly split!

    We will sell clothing with these markings but clearly outline and photograph the tags.
