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

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.
