How do I sell my clothes to you?

We only accept pieces that are purchased directly from our Petit Pappus online store. (Purchased as current & last season, preloved / secondhand)

As soon as you reached a  minimum of 5 pieces of clothes (incl. shoes, accessories, etc.) you are eligible for the buy back program (This is important to reduce production of our carbon footprint due to shipping)

To participate, simply:

1. Send us an email to weronika@petit-pappus.ch . You don’t have to send us any pictures, just inform us about your participation.
2. Send us your package :
   Petit Pappus
   Vrenikerstrasse 31c
   8152 Opfikon

After we received your package, will receive a confirmation email the next business day. Your will receive your payout within 2 weeks of receiving the email confirmation. The payout will also include the money spent on shipment.

Payout options:

1. Cash: Via bank transfer
   
2. Voucher for the Petit Pappus online store (Valid for one year, can be used on everything and is cumulative with other discounts). The voucher will increase the payout per piece by 10% compared to the cash option.

How much will I get for reselling my items to you ?

When we receive your items, we assess them based on the condition they are in.

• Unworn / New with tags
• Unworn / New without tags
• Very good preloved condition
• Good preloved condition

Once a condition rating is applied, an estimated resale price will be determined based on similar products available on Petit Pappus online store. The combination of the condition rating and the estimated resale price will determine the payout to the participant. Therefore, the formula to calculate your payout is the following:

Payout for product X = Estimated Resale price for product X * factor based on condition rating in %

For example, if you sent a sweater which is in a very good preloved condition and you would like to get a voucher (for future purchases at Petit Pappus ) and the resale value is estimated to be 23.- CHF your Payout will be calculated the following:

8,05 CHF (Payout) = 23 CHF (Resale Value) x 35% (Factor based on condition rating) 

 * If the items are received in unsalable condition (eg., smell, wrinkles, soiled, spots and more work is needed to make the clothes acceptable to be sold, the payout applied will be lower than a “good preloved condition“ due to the circumstances on our end. We therefore suggest prepping your clothes before sending them to us.
