Frequently Asked

What’s your return policy?

One way we keep our prices reasonable is by selling all items as "final sale." Please know that we are unable to accept returns. We are always sure to screen for imperfections before listing and shipping items. And when it comes to fit – since we can’t be sure how a piece was laundered before it came to Mini Finds, there’s a chance there’s some variation from the standard sizing for a given brand. (All clothing except “pristine” goes through a delicate wash cycle and is laid flat to dry before being sold by Mini Finds.) If you do receive something that doesn’t match how it’s described, let us know within the three days after you receive it — we’ll do our best to make it right.

How do you curate the clothing found on Mini Finds?

Founder Lindsay sources Mini Finds clothing from her own family and families in her community – Columbus, Ohio. She also leans on her experience in the industry to curate a unique collection for Mini Finds. It’s important that well-made, fashionable, hardly-worn clothing can have another life — saving families money and saving resource-heavy fabric from landfills.

How do you evaluate an item?

Every item we consider for sale is carefully inspected and evaluated. Only items deemed pristine, excellent, or very good are sold on Mini Finds. Here’s how we define those levels:

Pristine: new with tags

Excellent: no visible  signs of wear

Very Good: very few signs of wear; no rips or stains

*Shoes may show some wear, such as light scuffing and minor drag.

Any pieces considered below “very good” aren’t considered for Mini Finds.

All clothing (except pristine) goes through a delicate wash cycle and is laid flat to dry before being sold by Mini Finds.

Do you accept items for consignment?

As of today, Lindsay only purchases items directly from within her community.

How often is new inventory added?

Mini collections are Mini Finds’ specialty. Expect to see small “drops” of clothing popping into our site and social media regularly! This allows us to share our top picks right away and make sure you have what you need for the season ahead. And since almost all of our pieces are completely unique, you’ll want to move quickly if you see something you like – before it’s purchased!

How are prices determined?

With each piece’s inspection rating in mind, our team considers the likely original retail price and considers the quality on an individual basis. The majority of items are 30%-50% below their original retail and have been worn only a handful of times within one family (or, in some cases, never worn).
