I’m Mae, a single mom who knows just how hard it can be to keep up with the constant need for new kids’ clothes. When my little ones were growing fast, the only way I could afford quality outfits was by constantly watching online marketplaces — waiting and hoping the right sizes would pop up at the right time.

It was stressful, unpredictable, and made me wonder: why isn’t there an easier, more reliable, more accessible way for parents to get affordable, gently used kids’ clothing?

With a background in business and a passion for sustainability and accessibility, I built Next Size Up as a practical way for families to share resources and reduce waste — while still dressing their kids in styles they love. Every decision we make, from eco-friendly packaging to thoughtful sizing recommendations, is grounded in our mission to serve real families in meaningful, impactful ways.

This is how Next Size Up was born. I wanted to create a system where parents could easily shop curated, size-specific secondhand bundles — without waiting, digging, or guessing — and where families could donate outgrown clothes to help others, keeping good clothes in circulation. What started as a personal solution has grown into a mission-driven business — built by a mom, for families everywhere.

When you shop or donate with Next Size Up, you’re not just making a purchase — you’re joining a growing movement to change how we think about kids’ clothing and community. Thank you for being part of it. 🌱
