Spring has officially arrived in Canberra – and at The Little Capsule Co (TLCco), we’re opening our racks to all the sunny day essentials families are reaching for right now. If you’ve been sorting through your kids’ wardrobes, this is your sign to pass on those gently worn treasures and help us build the next capsule collection.

Where to Donate Kids Clothes in Canberra & Why We Accept Seasonally

Canberra’s weather can be unpredictable (we all know how quickly the jumpers come back out), but spring also means longer days, playdates at the park, and those first swims of the season. That’s why we refresh our intake each month to match what families are really wearing – keeping our Pearce store and online collection practical, sustainable, and ready for the season ahead.

What We’re Accepting in September 2025

For our September intake, we’re now welcoming summer pieces in all sizes, including:

• 👒 Hats, caps and bucket hats

• 🩱 Swimwear for babies, kids and tweens

• 🌸 Dresses, rompers and playsuits

• 🌞 Shorts, tees and lightweight sets

• 🍃 Light cardigans or layers for cooler evenings

• 👡 Summer shoes and sandals in excellent condition

We’re pausing intake of heavy knits, jackets and boots for now – it’s all about easy, breezy outfits for sunshine days.

Shop Preloved Baby & Kids Clothes in Canberra

At TLCco, we only accept items that are:
✨ Freshly washed
✨ Gently worn or BNWT (brand new with tags)
✨ Free from stains and damage
✨ Season-appropriate for spring and summer

This helps us keep our racks filled with pieces Canberra families actually want to buy – high-quality, boutique labels and everyday staples that last beyond a single season.
