CREDENTIAL APPAREL & TEXTILES

Generous people donate billions of pounds of clothing and textile goods to U.S. thrift stores and charities each year.

Sometimes the supply of donated clothing and textiles is greater than the sales demand for the items. Other times, the organizations are not able to process the individual items, get them sorted and prepared for the retail sales floor.

Instead of sending the excess of donated used clothing and textiles to the landfill, the goods are gathered into bales and sold in bulk or wholesale as credential clothing, mixed rags, or thrift linens, respectively. Ultimately, these apparel and textile goods get to people around the word who need them and can benefit from their use or resale.

Stack of Clothes

WHAT WE SELL

Credential Clothing is untouched, unopened, unsorted and ungraded apparel in its original donated state. These donations are baled to be sold. In addition to second-hand used men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing, the bales may contain valuable accessories and used shoes. 

Mixed Rags are sorted used clothes graded according to its quality. This type of used clothing either didn’t sell well in a thrift setting or is blemished, worn, missing buttons, or has tears and holes. Mixed Rags are baled to be sold and often shipped to people in third world countries, through humanitarian efforts.

Thrift Linens

Thrift Linens are sorted used textile products like bath and hand towels, quilts, comforters, decorative pillows, curtains, pillow cases, bed sheets, bath mats, table cloths, and other household linens. These linens are graded according to quality, baled, and sold in bulk.
