🚨 APPRAISALS REOPEN 1 AUGUST 🚨
Canberra friends… before you load up the boot and head our way, can we ask one tiny favour? 🤍
Please take 2 minutes to check our Buy-Back guidelines before you visit.
Our little team appraises thousands of pieces every single week, and having everyone on the same page means we can keep turnaround times fast and spend our time doing what we do best — getting beautiful children’s clothing back into the hands of the next family. ♻️
✨ A few of the big ones:
🤍 Maximum 50 items per customer, per week. Quality over quantity always.
🤍 Boutique & quality brands only. We don’t accept fast fashion through our Buy-Back Program (think Kmart, Big W, Best & Less, SHEIN, Temu and similar). Our current acceptance list changes monthly, so always check before you pack.
🤍 Freshly washed and sale-ready. Please no stains, holes, broken zips, heavy pilling, strong odours or clothing that’s loved beyond its next chapter.
🤍 And this one’s said with so much love… please don’t bring us:
• one lonely shoe looking for its soulmate 👟
• half-finished romper craft projects 🎨
• bags of textile waste destined for landfill 🗑️
We laugh… but these genuinely arrive almost every day in often commercial volumes.
As a social enterprise, every bag that comes through our doors has to be sorted thoughtfully. Disposing of items we can’t accept takes our small team time, costs us money, and ultimately means less time and fewer resources going back into the families and community we exist to support.
We’re not trying to be difficult—we’re trying to protect a circular economy that actually works. 💛

Thank you for helping us keep beautiful children’s clothing in circulation, support local families, and make every appraisal as smooth as possible. We genuinely couldn’t do it without you. 🤍
