Full disclosure: one of our co-founders (Juan)  wrote this headline, and, while it’s a little cryptic, the phrase “stinky bales” makes me laugh every time I read it. So I’ll do the legwork to explain what he means, so we can all steal that immaculate insult for ourselves:

We understand thrifting sometimes comes with some heebie jeebies. Don’t worry, we wash and prep those clothes thoroughly before they’re sent out (based on context clues, I think that’s where the “no stinky bales” line comes in.) This means the clothes in your bundle go through two rounds of curation--the thrift store and us--to ensure you get the highest quality thrifted goods.

As for the “doing good” part of Juan’s headline, in addition to sustainability, we try to partner with local stores that contribute back to their communities. We’re trying to tick off all the altruistic boxes possible to make up for the fact that we’re partaking in capitalism.
