Which clothing companies will pay you/give store credit for used items?

Hi there! I’m hoping to make a list of companies that will give you store credit or pay you when you bring in used/unwanted items. So far I have the following:

- Patagonia - will give gift cards for returned items based on condition and quality/original price of item.

- I’ve had a very good experience with Patagonia, all items have been dropped off in store. They tend to be pretty generous within the acceptable range.

- This is their policy online:

“We estimate most items’ trade-in value to be around 20% of the MSRP (manufacturer’s suggested retail price).

*For the following items, see the range below to get an idea of what your pieces might be worth.*

*Sweaters: $10 - $60*

*Jackets: $10 - $200*

*Dresses: $10 - $20*

*Boardshorts: $10 - $15*

*Shorts: $5 -$25*

*Pants: $10 - $60*

*Wheeled Bags: $45 - $90*

*Duffel Bags: $15 - $75*

*Please complete the Trade In quiz for a more specific estimated credit value. Your exact credit will be determined after we receive and inspect each item”*

- Madewell - will give $20 of store credit for every pair of jeans brought in. They can be of from any brand.

- They just hand you a business-card style voucher for each pair of full-length denim jeans you bring in. It really can be any brand/style from my experience.

- This is their policy online:

“1) Bring your old jeans from any brand to a Madewell store.

2) We’ll resell styles in gently used condition.

3) You’ll get $20 off for every pair you trade up.

4) Jeans that can’t be resold will be recycled”

- Lululemon - at this time is only taking women’s bottoms, like leggings, shorts, and sweatshirts

- I have only dropped off items in store and you get exactly what is stated. Yes, it’s not a lot but it can add up quickly if you have a lot of old items. I’ve been trying to downsize my wardrobe so it’s been nice to offload some items and get 1-2 things I really like in exchange.

- This is their policy online:

“We'll take the gear, you take the credit.

Mail-In - Best Value

In-Store - Instant Credit

Shorts, Skirts, Men's Shirts, Men's Tank Tops

$10-20 - Mail in

$5 - In store

Hoodies, Sweatshirts, Define Jackets, Sweaters, Pants, Crops, Leggings, Dresses, Large Bags (Backpacks, Duffles, and Totes larger than 10L)

$15-30 - Mail in

$10 - In store

Coats and Jackets

$20-75 - Mail in

N/A - In store

Mail-in values are estimates for high-quality items

What's not eligible:

Not accepted for mail‑in or in‑store trade‑ins:

Damaged or unclean gear, women's shirts, women's tank tops, sports bras, footwear, accessories, small bags, small pouches, toiletry kits, yoga props, intimates, swimsuits, ivivva, or collaborations.

Accepted for mail-in trade in but not in-store”

What other brands accept trade ins like this? I’m trying to go through what I’m getting rid of to get something in return before I drop the rest of my things off at a donation center.
