As we start packing down the store for our annual Christmas closure (aka the great “everything must be boxed because the community centre is about to deep-clean the carpets” reset), we’ve officially wrapped up all clothing appraisals for the year.

Thank you to every family who brought in their gorgeous pieces throughout 2025 – you’ve helped keep thousands of items in circulation, supported other families, and added so much heart to our little circular community.

Our team will be using this downtime to reset the store from front to back-of-house, get ready for a busy 2026, and enjoy a little breather with our own families too.

When will appraisals reopen?

We’ll start accepting items again in the new year once the store is fully reset and running smoothly – usually late January to early February. We’ll share the exact date across our socials and email newsletter, so stay tuned.

In the meantime

If you're decluttering over the break or sorting through outgrown wardrobes, feel free to set aside anything you’d like us to look at when we reopen. We can’t wait to welcome your pieces back into the circular loop.

Thanks again for your support, your patience, and your beautiful contributions to TLCco. Every purchase – and every appraisal – plays its part.
