Our Story

The Beginning

We grew up wearing smocks to all sorts of occasions with our families - Sunday church and brunch, family gatherings, and special occasions around the holidays. And now that we are older, we love buying smockwear for the children in our lives as well. However, smockwear can be expensive and it can be difficult to justify buying an outfit for each occasion for a growing child who might only wear it once. As a long-time user of rental clothing, Mason, our Founder, thought renting children’s’ smockwear could be just what busy moms and doting family members need! Mason and her MBA classmates at Rice University teamed up in their entrepreneurship classes to create a solution, and just like that - SmockSwap was born!

SmockSwap
The mission of SmockSwap is to provide an easy and affordable alternative to purchasing children’s smocked clothing. The traditional style of children’s smockwear has been popular with families for generations, yet the detailed high quality designs can come at a high price tag. While we love how cute our children look in their smocks, they are often only worn a handful of times before they are outgrown. Enter SmockSwap- an affordable smockwear rental service for your special occasions all year around.

How it works
After the purchase of a SmockSwap subscription, you are officially a member of the SmockSquad! With each “SmockSwap Drop” you will be able to choose a smock in the size you need for your child at that time. Once you receive your smock, you’ll have several weeks to enjoy as much play time and as many photo-ops as you want! When you are done, simply return to us in the pre-paid return envelope and repeat! No need to worry about cleaning or storing old smocks!

We are so excited to bring our customers an easy, reliable, affordable, and sustainable way to enjoy dressing their children in smockwear all year long!
