Today is Earth Day! I really thought we would see some Earth Day sales today, but I haven’t noticed any from the popular merchants of children’s clothing.
Nevertheless, you will soon be able to “reduce, re-use, and recycle” with our upcoming Loobalee services. One of our core principles and inspiration is Eco-friendliness — we want to reduce the wastefulness while maintaining the joyfulness in dressing our children.
How many of you have tubs, bins, boxes, and closets full of clothing that your children have grown out of and you don’t know what to do with it? Read the rest of this entry »
What is Loobalee?
Loobalee as Loobalee 'Philosphee'

This is the introduction to a series of related articles defining Loobalee, entitled “Loobalee Inspiration”. Loobalee is unique. We are offering an on-line, niche marketplace to serve the exciting and unique designer children’s apparel and merchandise market.
Are You Our Customer?
- Loobalee’s target customers are primarily Moms, and especially busy Moms! It is for Moms who enjoy sharing with and helping one another, but is also a market for their friends and family. Anyone looking for quality kids clothing and merchandise at great prices.
- Additionally, we aim to attract off-line Children’s Boutiques, handmade artisan Moms who make specialty items for children, and ‘Mom’ authors of children’s books and music into the our on-line marketplace and community.
- And finally, we ultimately envision creating a direct channel between consumers and children’s charities — allowing charities, such as children’s shelters and others in need, to participate in Loobalee.
Already, You Must Sense That Loobalee Is Different!
And, we think it’s special.
When we set out to create Loobalee, I had a wishlist. I wished for a site that was fun, easy, profitable, transparent, required a limited amount of my time, and allowed me to connect with others.
I envision a site that was the:
- Best of the Auction Sites
- Best of Classified Ad Sites Best of Retail
- Best of the Resale Shops
- Best of the Loops
- Best of the Discount & Rebate Sites
- …And, more!
Saving The Best For Last…
We’re also inspired by a “Philophee” here at Loobalee – “Dress Your Kids for Virtually Free”. I’ve learned how to do this through my 9 years of experience dressing my children. By participating in Loobalee, you can learn how too!
Stay tuned for upcoming articles, where I will go into detail about Loobalee’s exciting features; how we’ve been inspired by the best; our “Dress for Free Philosphee” and how we’re putting it all together to create a unique, interactive experience – especially for You!
