Second-hand kids’ clothing in Crawley typically sells for £5 to £35 (about $7 to $47). Well-known brands hold their money because parents trust them to survive a second child, while supermarket ranges have very little resale value at any age. Outerwear and shoes carry far more than everyday tops.
Buying kids’ clothing in Crawley
Crawley is a post-war new town that grew around the country’s second-busiest airport, and aviation employment shapes almost everything about it. The town is laid out in neighbourhoods around an older high street, and the workforce is unusually international for a town of its size.
Age labels correspond only loosely to any actual child, and two garments marked the same can differ by a good few centimetres. Holding something against the child it is meant for settles that at once, which no size chart manages.
What to check in person
Go through a bundle piece by piece rather than accepting a count, since the bottom of a bag is where the tired items sit. Hold pale colours to the light for the food and grass marks that photographs never pick up.
