UpChoose PBC (Public Benefit Corporation) is a San Francisco-based public benefit corporation that runs a subscription-based baby clothing rental business on the basis of a circular economy. The company offers custom collections of hand-selected high-quality and organic cotton clothes to infants and toddlers, enabling parents to rent outfits that children grow out of fast. The lowest plans begin at around $29 monthly, gradually increasing prices with bigger packages. Subscribers are sent outfits in the correct sizes, which kids can wear during the growth period. Afterward, they are returned in a reusable mailer to the next house, where they receive the next size-appropriate set.
Customers will have options of new and secondhand clothes. Shopping items that are returned are checked and washed in natural fragrance-free substances and then put back in circulation. The system of reuse decreases textile waste and increases the lifespan of the baby garments, which is important in the early childhood garments that have a high turnover. The company supplies products from high-end brands and values certified organic products that can be used on sensitive skin.
Additional services of UpChoose include gifting and registry, allowing friends and family to do the same by gifting months of subscription rather than buying ordinary baby presents. The main sources of revenue include the recurrent subscription fees and the reselling of returned stock. Although the review sites leave a review of varied experiences with the services, the company still markets its business as a viable alternative to traditional retail shopping.
UpChoose model redefines consumption of baby clothes based on replacement but in circular and size-based cycles. It is a mix of subscription business and clothes reuse to minimize expenses and waste.
