We all know it's never ‘just clothes’. There’s your uni look: part op-shop gem, part panic-buy, and 100 per cent not weather appropriate. Then came your first ‘real’ job, and the panic-bought pencil skirts to prove it. After that? The ‘I have no idea what my style is, but I own seven striped shirts’ phase.
And then, maybe, came pregnancy. Maternity jeans. Postpartum bras that could double as camping gear. Suddenly, your wardrobe’s trying to keep up with your body, your budget, and your entire identity shift – and failing.
Women don’t just go through life. We go through eras. Phases. Seasons. Career changes, breakups, babies, new cities, new vibes, new icks. And our wardrobes? They come along for the ride, often begrudgingly. And expensively.
Because looking the part doesn’t come cheap. A new job means new outfits. Motherhood? That’s an entirely new capsule wardrobe (and probably a drawer full of clothes that used to fit). Even stepping into a new season of confidence can come with a price tag if you’re not careful.
And we’ve all been there. You splurge on an outrageously-priced dress with terrifying confidence. Designer clothes can be beautiful, but also sell you a lifestyle – a dream of who you aspire to be. A dream that often has very little to do with your actual day-to-day (school drop-off, Zoom calls, trying to remember if you already added garlic to the pasta sauce).
That’s exactly why I built Trunk. I was tired of spending big every time life shifted – and even more tired of letting beautiful clothes sit in drawers, unworn and unloved. If the outrageously-priced designer dress doesn’t suit you, your life, or your body right now, it’s OK to pass it on. No guilt, no shame, no more chasing a Pinterest version of yourself that never really existed.
Trunk Style is all about helping you dress for the version of you you actually are – now. And making it affordable, sustainable and...well, doable. Just because you’ve changed doesn’t mean your bank account has to take the hit every time.
On Trunk, you can:
Sell clothes online that no longer serve you.
Buy secondhand clothes – beautiful, quality pre-loved clothing from real women, for real life.
Create space. Save money. And feel good doing it.
Whether you’re clearing out your old corporate wardrobe, bundling up pre-loved kids clothes, or finally letting go of that ‘elevated loungewear’ you lived in during lockdown – there’s room for it all here. Your ‘party girl’ wardrobe might be gathering dust. Your ‘corporate baddie’ collection might be retired. And your ‘granola mum’ phase? She might be in full swing. Wherever you’re at – whatever life season you’re in – Trunk is here to help you shop and sell quality pre-owned clothing that actually suits your now.
