Maternity, worn again · Basel

Maternity wear, worn by more than one mother.

Circular Mama is a Basel consignment hub for maternity and nursing clothing. Consign what you no longer need, buy what you do, and try it on before it's yours — no listing, no shipping, no guessing on fit.


The problem

Worn for a few months. Stored for years.

~CHF 500
spent on maternity clothing per pregnancy in Switzerland — before nursing wear.
100%
of unsold garments are donated to Basel maternal charities — never landfilled, never discarded.

pregnancy is usually all a garment gets, before it stops moving. We're building for three or more.

"I bought the good, sustainable pieces the second time round. Reselling them myself afterwards, one item at a time, with a newborn — I never got round to it. They're still in the basement."

— from founder interviews with Basel mothers, 2026
How it works

One tag, more than one mother.

01

Consign

Drop off maternity and nursing pieces you no longer need, freshly laundered. We check quality, fit and condition, and tag each item.

02

Circulate

We price, photograph and sell the piece to another Basel mother — in person, tried on, no guessing on fit.

03

Repeat

She consigns it back once she's done. Same tag, next mother. Nothing unsold goes to waste — it's donated, never discarded.

What we carry

Resale Event at the Orangerie — 18 October 2026

Circular Mama is popping up at the Gärtnerhuus Orangerie in Schwarzpark. A curated selection of maternity and nursing clothing — including winter pieces — brought in by women in Basel.

Alongside the rail, we'll share tips and tricks for dressing a baby bump or a baby carrier through a Basel winter without spending a lot of money. Try things on, take your time, and pay only if it's right.

When Sunday 18 October 2026, 13:00–17:00
Where Orangerie, Gärtnerhuus · Schwarzpark, Basel
Pay Cash or TWINT. Prices set by the women who brought the clothes.
Returns Three days to try on properly at home and return if needed.
Comfort A play corner for little ones and a proper space to try things on in peace.
Looking for consignors

We're especially looking for coats and winter wear — maternity or simply roomy enough to work through pregnancy or over a carrier. If you have pieces sitting unused, we'd love to sell them on your behalf.

  • You set each item's price
  • Unsold items returned to you or donated — your choice, per item
  • Payout once any buyer returns are settled
  • Items must be freshly laundered and ready to sell

Environmental

We track average rotations per garment — how many pregnancies one piece supports. Most maternity clothing gets one. Our target is three or more, and every unsold item is donated through partner charities rather than discarded.

Social

Maternity clothing is needed from the second trimester — months before most mother groups start. We use that early window to connect Basel's many relocated and first-time mothers with each other, sooner.
