Why secondhand baby and kids’ clothes just make sense

Selection of kids clothes on a peach coloured background

One minute you’re bringing home a squishy newborn in a size 0000 wondersuit. Next thing you know, they’re somehow a fully-fledged toddler with opinions, a lunchbox, and shoes that mysteriously no longer fit (again). Blink and you’ll miss a size – and suddenly that $80 Jacadi Paris onesie you splurged on? Worn once. For 13 minutes. 

Here’s the thing no one tells you when you’re pregnant and hormonal and adding French babywear to your Pinterest board: kids don’t wear clothes out – they just grow out of them. Fast.


So you end up with piles of barely-worn, perfectly adorable outfits sitting in drawers, feeling a bit guilty because they’re too good to chuck and too small to keep.


That’s where Trunk comes in.

We built Trunk Style as a secondhand clothing marketplace to help you keep the chaos under control – and the cute clothes in circulation. It's the simpler, smarter way to buy secondhand clothes and sell clothes online in Australia.

Whether you’re:

  • clearing out that size 0 drawer (how did they even fit in that?!)

  • searching for pre-loved kids clothes for daycare that won’t break the bank

  • or trying to keep your rapidly growing child clothed without taking out a second mortgage…

We’ve got you.

Secondhand isn’t second-best. It’s smart.

It’s better for your wallet, your wardrobe, and the planet. And your kid? Couldn’t care less where it came from – as long as it has dinosaurs, unicorns or something vaguely sparkly.

Because here’s the thing: your kids aren’t just growing out of shoes at warp speed – they’re growing into the world we’re leaving them. The sustainable habits we model now? They’re watching. And repeating. At Trunk, we’re super proud to make secondhand the easy, everyday choice – for you, for your wardrobe, and for the future they’ll grow up in.

At Trunk, we’re proud to be a sustainable fashion marketplace making secondhand the easy, everyday choice – for you, for your wardrobe, and for the future they’ll grow up in. So the next time your toddler’s pants mysteriously shrink overnight – or you’re staring at a pile of outgrown baby clothes wondering what to do with them – jump on Trunk. Clear the clutter. Share the love.

Because tiny humans don’t stay tiny.

But their clothes? Still have plenty of life left in them.

Don’t forget to bundle

Because let’s be real – no one buys one item of baby clothing.

On Trunk Marketplace, you can bundle listings to sell or shop in one go. Think “Size 1 Winter Girls’ Bundle” or “Neutral Size 2 Daycare Pack” – easy for sellers, lifesaving for buyers.

Buying a bundle means you:

  • Save money (like, heaps).

  • Get an entire season sorted with one click.

  • Stop doing last-minute Kmart dashes with a cranky toddler on your hip. Actually, on that – with the money you save on Trunk, you can dress your kid in Jacadi Paris – on a Kmart budget. Quality pre-owned clothing, less chaos, and no impulse-buy regret at the checkout.


Selling bundles means you:

  • Clear a whole drawer in one swoop.

  • Send off one parcel (Trunk provides the label).

  • Pocket the cash, and know you’re doing better by the planet.

Think of Trunk like the hand-me-down from a friend who’s stylish, organised, and happens to have a kid six months older than yours. The one who turns up with a bag of hand-me-downs and a decent coffee.

That’s the energy we’re bringing. Come hang. 

Start selling, start bundling – or just come for a stickybeak.
