TLCco Store Canberra
The Territory's First Gently Worn Children's Clothing Boutique
Come for the clothes.
Stay for the chat.
Leave with a story.
Tucked inside the Pearce Community Centre, TLC Co. Store is our little preloved clothing wonderland.
From micro-prem sizes to age 5+ (and a few sneaky bigger sizes), we stock the kind of finds you won’t believe are preloved.
This isn’t an op shop. And it’s definitely not fast fashion.
It’s handpicked, heart-filled and powered by mums – for mums.
A Shop Run by Locals (and Loud Toddlers)
We’re not just in Canberra – we’re of Canberra. The store is run by a small but mighty team of local mums who keep the place humming between drop-offs, steaming racks, snack breaks, and community cuppas.
You’ll usually find Micaela out the back doing appraisals (and knowing exactly which pieces our customers will love), Kathy at the front counter giving the warmest welcome in the Woden Valley, and Sam next door setting up for Mamma Mingle or popping in to say hi with a baby on her hip.
Jane? She’s behind the scenes, typing furiously from her office cupboard and wrangling everything from online orders to floor plans.
We’re the kind of team that’ll remember your name, hold your baby while you shop, and gently steer you toward the cutest finds. It’s not just customer service – it’s connection
What’s in Store?
Every few months, we launch a new themed capsule – lovingly curated from the best boutique, designer and loved brands.
We stock sizing from micro-prem (650g) to size 5 in our main collection. With a thoughtfully selected smaller selection of sizes 6–12 for our bigger kids.
What you'll find
Sizes from micro 650g all the way to size 12
Gently worn and brand new with tag pieces
Swimwear, sleepwear, shoes, hats and accessories
A variety of loved Aussie and International brands
No guesswork. Just good clothes, great community, and beautiful finds you’ll want to tell your friends about.

Spring Intake at TLCco – September 2025 🌼
September 2025
Spring has arrived in Canberra, and at The Little Capsule Co we’re refreshing our racks for sunny days ahead. This month we’re accepting summer pieces in all sizes, including:
👒 Hats & bucket hats
🩱 Swimwear
🌸 Dresses, rompers & playsuits
🌞 Shorts, tees & light layers
We’re pressing pause on heavy knits, coats and boots – it’s all about easy, breezy outfits for the season.
Based in Pearce, TLCco makes it simple for Canberra families to pass on quality kidswear and shop preloved treasures. Every item you bring in supports our community, reduces textile waste and helps build sustainable wardrobes that last.
TLCco Store isn’t just where you shop – it’s where you find your people.
More Than a Store
You might spot a mum trading tips over the rompers, a toddler making a new bestie in the play corner, or someone grinning at the exact size 000 wrap they used to pack in their hospital bag.
Next door, Mamma Mingle is often in full swing – cups of tea, chats that go deep (or delightfully off-topic), and no pressure to pretend you’ve got it all together.
We share a wall, a mission, and a belief: parenting is better with community. And when you step through our doors, you’re part of it too.
This space was made for Canberra families, by Canberra families. And when you shop with us, you’re part of that story too.
