If you’re listing one lonely onesie at a time, we need to talk. Bundles are where the magic happens. Whether it’s your kid’s entire size 2 winter wardrobe or three office tops you’ve already mentally resigned from, bundling means one listing, one parcel, and one buyer who’s thrilled to save on shipping. Better value for the buyer, less faffing about for you, and less packaging waste in the process. It’s the sustainable fashion marketplace version of a win–win–win.
Why bundling works
It saves time and effort.
You only need to list one item (with a few pieces inside), pack one parcel, and print one label. Done. It’s a quicker way to sell quality pre-owned clothing without spending your whole weekend glued to your phone or sitting around at a local market.
It adds value.
Buyers love a bargain – and love feeling clever. Bundles make them feel like they’ve scored a deal, even when you’ve priced it smartly.
It reduces waste.
Fewer parcels = fewer satchels, less postage, and lower emissions. The planet – and your postie – quietly applaud.
It tells a story.
A bundle gives buyers a ready-made vibe. “Zara size M ‘cool mum’ bundle,” “Unisex baby 6–12 months Scandi vibes,” or “Bump-friendly size L neutrals” – all ready to shine in the Trunk marketplace.
What bundles sell best?
No need to overthink it. Just group pieces that make sense together, whether by season, size, activity or aesthetic. Here are a few tried-and-true ideas buyers love in the Trunk Style community:
Pre-loved neutral baby clothes in 000–0: All the cute onesies, cardigans and bibs from your baby’s blink-and-you-miss-it phase. Best of all, they’re all stylishly neutral colours that go effortlessly together.
Cue size 8 back to the office bundle: Whether you’re back in the office full-time or just want to feel a bit more ‘you mean business’, this bundle’s got your back.
The hardly worn Lululemon activewear bundle: Bought with the best intentions (hello, hot pilates challenge that never happened), but mostly lived folded in a drawer. This bundle includes high-quality, barely-worn Lululemon leggings, crops and tanks in wearable, flattering shades.
Aje size 12 edit: A bundle of pieces that have places to be – from floaty dresses that turn heads to billowy tops that make jeans feel fancy. All pre-loved, all in fab nick, and all ready for round two in someone else’s wardrobe.
Mini-me winter warmers: Soft knits, comfy trackies, puffer jackets and the kind of pieces that survive playground sessions and pasta nights. Perfect for daycare days, park hangs or just general toddlering about.
How to make your bundle fly
Stick to a theme. Bundles that feel curated (not random) are more appealing and easier to describe. 3-5 pieces is an ideal bundle size.
Add a little personality. A bundle name like “Unworn Nimble activewear (the pasta won)”, “Country Road Classics (Size 14)” or “Size 2 Summer Cuties” makes it more fun.
Be clear in your listing. Mention everything included, note sizes and conditions, and keep it snappy. Learn more about writing a great listing.
Price smartly. Bundles should feel like value – but don’t undersell. You’re still offering quality pre-owned clothing, after all. Get more tips on setting your prices.
Nail the shipping details.
When you list your bundle on Trunk, we’ll automatically calculate a personalised shipping rate at checkout based on the parcel’s weight, size and the buyer’s location – and the buyer always pays for it. No awkward back-and-forth or surprise costs.
To make your listing accurate, weigh your packed bundle using kitchen or luggage scales. Once the item sells, we’ll email you a pre-paid Australia Post shipping label – just print it, stick it on, and drop it at any post box or branch. It’s trackable, simple, and once it’s marked delivered, the payment lands in your nominated bank account. Prefer pick-up? You can offer that too – just coordinate with the buyer using Trunk’s message system and get paid once they confirm collection.
Bundles for the win
At the end of the day, bundling is the clever-clogs way to sell. Fewer listings, faster sales, and a feel-good nudge to keep secondhand women’s clothing and pre-loved kids clothes in circulation. So go on – bundle it, list it, sell it, send it off. Then do a little victory lap around your living room.
