Resale Stores and Used Jeans




Recently I was reading an article in the AARP Bulletin that discussed how thrift shops (now calling themselves resale stores) are growing during these challenging times. Why? Because they offer people great product at very reasonable prices.

That's what we do here at tanas banana. We hand pick used jeans and jean merchandise for you. Gently used clothing that still looks great and has many years of wear left.

The Resale and Thrift Shops say that their member stores have shown an increase of 30% since last fall. It shows that consumers are looking for ways to stretch their clothing dollars.

Today I just got back from buying alot of great used jeans and have added denim skirts to this growing line of used clothing. So, stop by, just did some listing today. You may find just what you need to add to your wardrobe.

Put 'em on, Peel 'em off!

It's a Great Day for Reused Clothing!


Okay, so I'm enamored by this ebay store. It's just a joy to know that it is an eco-friendly creation where I feel like I'm 'saving the world, one pair of jeans at a time'. Whether it's economics or your passion to live a more sustainable life wearing jeans that are already comfortable and broke in is fun!

And, of course, as I find jeans that fit me, I quickly place them in my closet and now I have great used jeans that are fun to wear because I'm saving money and continuing to learn how to reuse stuff to help the planet.

The tanas banana line will be expanding as time goes on but right now you can find jeans by Levi, Wrangler, Lee, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Gap, LL Bean and others. There are denim jackets, hawaiian shirts, toddler jean bibs, girls and boys jeans.

It started with a few jeans and is expanding into a recycled clothing store for the family. So visit often because I'm always listing more stuff and am now at over 400 items!
