If you’re a parent, I know you’re annoyed by hearing this a million times each day, but kids do grow up fast. One second, you’re buying the most darling 3T sweater, and the next, you’re wondering if there’s a way you can physically prevent your teen from getting a driver’s license. Because kids outgrow clothes so quickly, keeping their wardrobes up to date can be frustrating. This is why I absolutely love second-hand children’s stores. Through these shops, you can get pieces you love at a fraction of the cost, meaning you’ll feel a little less guilt when it’s once again time to swap out clothes. If you share my love of sustainable kids’ fashion, I’m positive you’re about to fall head-over-heels for Once Upon A Child in Kelowna.
Once Upon A Child started in 1984 as a way to sell affordable clothing to families across the area. The idea resonated with people, and the business began franchising in 1992.
The idea is to provide families with more sustainable clothing by finding gently used kids’ clothes and gear. Not only is Once Upon A Child making child must-haves more affordable, but they’re also keeping quality items from going to waste. It’s a win/win!
Once Upon A Child offers thousands of gently used products at a discount of up to 70% of what you would pay retail. You can find anything you could ever need at their shop for those early years. From jogging strollers to children’s coats, the shop has it all.
Through the store, you can purchase clothing from newborn all the way up to youth size 18/20, shoes up to youth size 7, toys of every variety, baby gear, and children’s books. And just when you thought their service couldn’t get any better, the store has started selling gently used maternity clothes.
You don’t have to worry about breaking the bank to buy clothes that will only fit for a few months. At Once Upon A Baby, you can have the wardrobe you need for pennies on the dollar.
Perhaps the best thing about this shop is its purchasing program. Selling your items through Once Upon A Child couldn’t be any easier. You can put your freshly laundered and cleaned gear in a box and bring it straight in.
Because they operate on a first-come, first-served basis, you don’t need to worry about setting up an appointment. The specialists at the shop will appraise your items before giving you cash for everything they’d like to buy.
Your storage room will be a little bit cleaner, while your wallet will be a whole lot thicker. It’s a perfect way to ensure all the items that have served your family well don’t go to waste.
If you’re trying to buy an affordable, sustainable wardrobe for your child, I guarantee you will love Once Upon A Child in Kelowna. With a vast selection, fantastic prices, and a simple selling program, it’s about to be your new favorite spot.
