Frequently Asked Questions

What do I have to do?

Very Little!

  1. Connect to thelittleloop by clicking 'connect account' above. Once connected your ROARSOME purchases will be visible in your trade-in closet.
  2. Got ROARSOME items, or items from other ethical brands, not in your ROARSOME account? Use our simple add tool to add them to your trade-in closet too.
  3. When you're ready to trade something in just login, select the items, and we'll send you a shipping label / QR code (you can even arrange a Royal Mail collection).
  4. That's it!

As soon as we get the items, we pay you in credit. Which you can spend on thelittleloop, or exchange for a voucher to spend with ROARSOME.

n.b. We store the purchase price, the image, and size of each item. So when you come to trade it, there's absolutely no information to provide. And because we pay you instantly you won't have to wait for them to sell, or risk being haggled down to nothing :)

What about items which we didn't buy from ROARSOME or an ethical brand?

We know you don't want to be sending some clothes to one place, and the rest to another.

So - as well as your trade-in items - we'll accept ANY clean, wearable kids clothes they no longer wear.

Just order a clear-out pack from thelittleloop and send it back with your trade-in items. You'll get £5 for every full bag!

Is the trade-in value guaranteed?

The trade-in value we show on each product and in your online closet is based on an predicted item condition. If the item arrives back to us in the condition we predict, then you will receive the trade-in value shown. We will adjust it for differing conditions. We promise always to judge fairly.

How are trade-in prices calculated?

You will receive 30% of the price we can sell the item for.

Those prices are calculated as follows:

  • Brand New items = 60% RRP
  • Excellent Used items = 40% RRP
  • Very Good Used items = 35% RRP
  • Good Used Items = 30%
  • Satisfactory Used items = 20% RRP

We promise to judge your clothes fairly. In fact, 79% of clothes we receive are rated good or better.

What happens to the clothes I return?

Every item will be assessed by our expert team, to decide its condition.

If it is saleable, you will automatically receive your credit, based upon its condition.

The item will then be steamed, and any defects photographed before being listed for sale.

Our conditions are:

  • Brand new: Never worn and/or with tags
  • Excellent: Like new, no imperfections.
  • Very Good: Used a few times, but still looks great.
  • Good: Obviously worn with some signs of wear but no significant stains or damage
  • Satisfactory: Used a lot and may have minor stains or defects

If an item cannot be sold it will be recycled by our UK recycling partner.

Materials

All of our Snow Suits, Coats, Swimwear, Sportswear, Beanies & Helmet Covers are made from recycled plastic bottles. The post-consumer bottles are cleaned, chopped into flake, melted into chip and then turned into yarn. The two suppliers that we use for this are REPREVE® & FENC® TopGreen®. Our Base Layers and Neck Warmers are made from Bamboo which has eco-friendly, thermal-regulating properties as well as being breathable, hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.

Why RPET?

In 2019 we made the decision to swap polyester for RPET. Transforming disused plastic into clothing to save it from the ocean or landfill seemed like (and still seems like) the best option for anyone in the fashion industry who wants to protect the planet. The manufacturing process of RPET is also said to generate 60% less water pollution than virgin PET and far less CO2 emissions. We’ve now recycled almost 1,000,000 plastic bottles into epic kids clothing.

Chemicals

STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® means that our products have been tested for harmful substances to protect customer's health. This label certifies that every component of the product, from the fabric to the thread and accessories, has been rigorously tested against toxic chemicals.

Resale

Our kids clothing is designed to fit for two years (kids grow quick!) but every item is made to last much longer. In partnership with Little Loop, Roarsome offers a pre-loved service that extends product lifecycle. This initiative reduces waste and promotes circular economy. Re-selling kids clothing saves up to 79% of carbon emissions associated with sending an item to landfill!

Fulfilment

In 2021 we transitioned our entire warehousing and fulfilment programme to Green Fulfilment as part of a long term partnership, focused on reducing our environmental impact. This has ensured that we use paper instead of plastic as void fill when packing orders; we use paper based packing tape rather than polystyrene; we use power-saving, automatic shut-off lights in offices; all plastics & cardboards are recycled; online reporting has eliminated print outs; we use biodegradable mailing bags.

Events

Our annual Roarsome Summit is a three-day adventure weekend that promotes outdoor activities, environmental education, and community engagement, fostering a deeper connection to nature among families. Every year this weekend culminates in a big community beach clean, empowering kids to care for our planet as they grow up.

Trees

One of the best tools to tackle the climate crisis and keep our temperatures from rising above 1.5C is by planting new trees. In particular, Mangrove trees capture up to 4x as much carbon per acre than tropical rainforests. We’ve partnered with the brilliant Ecologi and committed to planting a new tree for every item sold on our website. You can add more trees by visiting ecologi.com/roarsome

Stores

Roarsome’s physical stores and pop-up installations emphasise sustainability. We've taken measures to ensure that environmental practises are implemented throughout the design process. We swapped our energy provider to 100% renewable sources; we used trace VOC paint; cushions, curtains & furnishings are recycled textiles, wooden panelling is reclaimed palette wood, feature walls are made from recycled felt.
