CONDITION

Every item we sell is preowned (unless explicitly stated that it is a new item that has been donated by a store). We use the following terms to categorize the condition of every item we sell:

Preowned perfect: unworn and may still be in original packaging or still with the tags on.

Excellent used: minimal signs of wear.

Gently used: signs of wear from normal use and washing, such as fading or pilling. 

Play: visible wear but lots of life left. Great for messy play, daycare, or just getting a bargain! Any damage will be described and/or shown in a photo.

GENDER PER MANUFACTURER

Gender isn't binary, but most clothing manufacturers cut and design kids clothes this way. Note that clothes labelled for girls often fit smaller than clothes labelled for boys, particularly in larger sizes.

The default setting is that all clothes will appear for each size so that you can choose the styles your child enjoys - you can filter by gender per manufacturer if you wish.

SIZE

Remember that used clothing may have shrunk with washing, particularly 100% cotton - if in doubt, size up!

Size categories include the largest size in each range. For example, size 8-10 includes size 10.

SCENTS

We ask for donations to be clean for pick-up, and we recommend that you wash your purchases before wearing (just as you would when buying new). In the interests of time, energy and water conservation, we do NOT launder clothes before sale. The exception is if I spot a stain I know I can remove!

Families use a wide range of detergents. If you are highly sensitive to scents, please contact me before completing your purchase so I can verify the pieces in your order. I have found that soaking clothing in hot water with sodium percarbonate and then washing with unscented detergent to be highly effective for removing scent.

I welcome feedback on how the shop is organized to make your shopping easier.
