Online pre-loved clothing stores
Wednesday, 20 October 2010
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 and share a list below. Know any others? Feel free to share other online pre-loved clothing stores in the comments.

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.
