The Hottest New Back-to-School Trend: Buying Upscale Resale at MoxieJean.com

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill., July 22, 2013 -- Moxie Jean, the "Upscale Resale" baby and kids' clothing website, announced today their new Back to School Collection to meet the ballooning demand for high quality, gently used outfits for the first day of school and beyond. Many designer outfits will be discounted an additional 20-40% off already reduced prices, which will help the 8 out of 10 parents who say they are spending less this back to school season.

Celebrating its one-year anniversary this month, Moxie Jean's popularity with busy moms has soared. Rather than overspending on new clothes that kids will quickly outgrow, more parents are seeking out high quality 'like new' clothes from their favorite designers. Moxie Jean offers unique, stylist-created looks from favorite brands like Gymboree, Gap and Ralph Lauren, plus designer brands like Oilily, Mayoral, DKNY and Juicy Couture, all at 75% or more off retail prices.

"As I prepare to send my youngest off to preschool in a few weeks, I know all about the hunt to find a special, picture-worthy outfit, plus everything my kids needs for fall, all in one place and at super-affordable prices," says Sharon Schneider, Moxie Jean co-founder and CEO. "I am so excited that we have become the trusted resource for gently-used clothing so that parents all over the country can shop with confidence at Moxie Jean."

In addition to exuberant buyers, Moxie Jean has also grown its base of loyal sellers who "send in their best" in exchange for cash or store credit: As a result of the company's transparent and fair selling process, inventory has increased from 4,000 outfits in January to more than 16,000 outfits ranging from Newborn to size 8 currently for sale at www.moxiejean.com.

The company also announced several new features premiering today to make the shopping experience even simpler: Parents can now shop Moxie Jean on the go with a streamlined site for smartphones and tablets; enhanced filters allow outfits to be sorted by stylist selections, by brand, whether the outfit is new with tags, or even single items (tops, bottoms, outerwear) rather than complete outfits.

Moxie Jean adds hundreds of new outfits every Monday and Thursday. Parents can sign up for New Inventory Alerts to get customized recommendations via email, and receive an instant coupon for 15% off their first purchase.
