Donate a pair of gently used jeans at a bebe retail location to receive $25 off new denim, such as this pair of zip-bottom biker jeans.

After a survey of our overflowing closet, we’ve instated the “nightclub rule” — for one new item to enter, another has to leave. So as our wardrobe’s official bouncer, we’re excited to learn that shoppers who donate a pair of gently worn jeans to a bebe retail location receive $25 off the price of a new pair from bebe’s denim collection through July 31.

The used jeans are donated to someone in need through Clothes4Souls, a new division of Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity we told you about when the nonprofit donated new and used shoes to Haiti following the devastating January earthquake.

If you don’t have jeans to give away, a minimum donation of $10 also gets you the $25 discount, available in stores only. The deal is limited to one per customer and is not applicable to sale denim. Like its umbrella nonprofit, Clothes4Souls also distributes new items from manufacturers, retailers and designers — such as adidas and American Apparel — to those in need throughout the United States and in 125 countries throughout the world. Items go to orphanages, areas affected by natural disasters, poverty-stricken communities in the U.S. and abroad, domestic abuse shelters and other places where shoes and clothing are needed. The Nashville-based organization recently has begun accepting donations of gently worn jeans and coats (as well as shoes) at drop-off locations searchable by ZIP code on the website.

We love the idea of clothes we can no longer wear going to someone who needs them. Are there special worthy causes to which you donate your old clothes?
