    Kelly Trella has found a way to get rid of her 2-year-old son's old clothes; she swaps (交換) them. Trella was clearing her house when she came across a magazine article about ^ThredUP,a children's clothes swapping web- site. She signed up and has been swapping used clothes ever since.

ThredUP now has 15 ,000 members with another 1 ,000 being added each week. Founder and CEO James Reinhart says the company is trying to attract parents who are buying their children clothes for the new term. The existence of ThredUP is surely driven by the economy.

     “These days people who once only dropped off clothes arebuyingthemtoo ,”saidJamesReinhart.“Morepeo- ple are more careful of what they spend,M he said. uThey (Mn’t have to worry about it before. They still want their kids to have those really nice things,but they don't have the money to do it. ”

    ThredUP worked with a Boston charity to give $ 1 from every swap to the charity to help clothe children and buy them school supplies. The site sends 10 boxes online to each customer. The customers can put their used clothes into the boxes and browse (浏览) the website for what they want. Once a customer finds what he wants,he pays $13 for transportation. The customer who owns the clothes then is informed so he can send the clothes off. There are no photos of the clothes,so decisions are pretty much based on brands and descriptions.

     "The first box I got,I paid $ 13 in total and I got 13 shirks. Of course,they have gone through the wash a couple of times,but they are of good quality,” Trella said. “You are giving and you are getting. It's nice to share."
