Little Eco recently moved up a clothing size, and was running out of clothes. I didn’t have time to go op-shopping and wasn’t in the mood for the waiting involved in ebay shopping. I wanted to buy clothes there and then, so went off in search of online stores selling second hand-clothes, not very confident they would exist. But they do! I found Preloved Kidswear.
Five minutes later I had bought Little Eco some great new pre-loved clothes and a few days later we received the parcel. The order came with a little too much non recyclable packaging for my liking (each item was in an individual plastic bag!?) but otherwise I was happy. The clothes were reasonably priced and in excellent condition.
I went searching for other Australian online second hand clothing stores. I couldn't find much. For women there's Love.Recycled and Covet Vintage co. For babies and kids, in addition to Preloved Kidswear I found Charlipop Kids and 2nd Life. And for maternity there's PreLoved Maternity Boutique. There must be more. Know of any other online pre-loved clothing stores?

Speaking of pre-loved clothing ~ Upcoming Raid My Wardrobe events ~
For those of you from the Central Coast or Newcastle, you’re lucky enough to have a Raid My Wardrobe event near you soon. I’ve been living in one of the pre-loved tops that I bought at the first Newcastle Raid My Wardrobe event. What’s that saying? ‘One woman's junk is another woman's treasure’?
Raid My Wardrobe is on the Central Coast this Sunday 24th October and in Newcastle 21st November. Details here.
P.S Most of you will know why buying new clothes isn't great for the environment, but in case you don’t, or just need to be reminded, here’s an article worth reading: Waste Couture: Environmental Impact of the Clothing Industry.
