Mamma is not sure why but kids clothes make our hearts do a little flutter. It could be the cute designs or simply the memories of these teeny tiny outfits for when our kiddos were oh-so little.

The other realisation is that these little ones were tiny for only a second! They grow out of these beautiful things so fast, occasionally they don’t even get a chance to wear them.

Local Boroondara Mum Lauren has felt this first hand and has created a wonderful space for families to ‘rent a rack’ and sell these treasures on to the next wave of little ones. Not only is it more sustainable, it is a chance to snag a bargain while adding to your kids wardrobe.

Little Duck Preloved has to be one of the most well stocked consignment store Mamma’s ever seen. With clothes for newborns through to pre-teens, there are plenty of well loved brand names here - including lots that are brand new with tags and others that have only ever been worn once.

The shop itself is very welcoming too, with a little area with toys so the kids can chill out while you browse the store or set up a rack for yourself.

UPDATE - Little Duck now also has an exclusive women’s section for maternity and general ladies wear - now Mamma can pick up a little something as well!
