Selling children’s clothes: bundles, sizes, photos.
Children grow fast, and their clothes often stay almost new. How to pass them on quickly.

AI-generatedIn short
Our recommendation: sell children’s clothes in bundles by size, for example “Bundle age 2–3, 12 items”. UK children’s sizes go by age, EU sizes by height in centimetres. Don’t show children in the photos: laid flat or on a hanger is enough, or a labelled AI try-on image without a face. Single listings are worth it for branded pieces and jackets.
- Bundles by size
- Age or cm
- No children in the photos
Why shouldn’t you show children in sales photos?
Photos from listings can be copied and passed on, and then you have no control over them. In point 8 of its photo tips, Vinted says that to help keep things private it’s a good idea to avoid showing faces, and it suggests a hanger, a mannequin or a flat lay as alternatives to modelling items yourself. Children’s clothes look good laid flat or on a hanger anyway.
How do you sell children’s clothes quickly?
Sort by size.
One bundle per size, boys and girls separate or unisex.
Photograph the bundle.
All items in one photo, then each one on its own. Our recommendation: the first photo shows the whole bundle. Vinted’s photo tips say to show the entire item in the first picture and not to use collages.
Name the brands.
Put sought-after brands in the title, people search for them.
Show stains.
Children’s clothes often have small stains. Show them openly and adjust the price.
Choose the platform.
Our recommendation: bundles on Vinted, branded jackets also as single listings.
Frequently asked questions
What does age 2–3 mean in EU sizes?
According to size.ly’s chart, UK age 2–3 corresponds to EU 92–98, that is a child up to about 98 cm tall.
Should I sell children’s clothes individually or as a bundle?
Cheap items in a bundle; branded pieces, jackets and shoes are better sold individually.
Do children’s clothes need to be washed?
Our recommendation: yes. Mention in the listing that everything is freshly washed.
How many items go in a bundle?
Our recommendation: enough to make the postage worth it, and few enough that every item can be seen in the photos. Items of one size belong together.
