FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Condition guide 
We believe most things deserve a second or even third chance before being repurposed or sent to landfills, therefore we price our items accordingly, and reasonably (sometimes free!) mainly based on its condition. Each item has been individually checked and lovingly handpicked by us. We would not hesitate in dressing Ellie and our nieces in any of the clothes we sell. 
This is how we group the items according to condition: 
  • BNWT: Brand New With Tag
  • Excellent: Worn/Washed but looks like new
  • Good: Somewhere in between Excellent and Gently Worn
  • Gently Worn: There are signs that the clothes have been worn for for a good number of times 
  • Play: The clothes may look old or there is stain(s) but doesn't affect its functionality and comfort aren't affected. Especially good for messy situations! :)
  • Rescue: Functionality and comfort are affected, we're giving away these clothes for free please rescue them! 
Sizes of Clothes 
Due to the nature of the business, we generally, only have one size of each item available. Nonetheless, we aim to stock a variety of items in each size bracket. For detailed measurements, please refer to the websites of the respective brands.
 
Do you wash your clothes before selling to us?
We request all the sellers to clean the clothes before sending over to us. We understand the importance of hygiene and will give an extra wash with baby friendly plant based detergent before sending over to you, except for the clothes that are brand new with tags or non-washing machine friendly. 
 
Are the items selling on the website coming from non-smoking/pet-free households?
For the existing items that you're seeing on the website (as at 28th March 2021), we cannot guarantee all of them are coming from smoke-free households as the items that we've purchased are initially meant for personal use (for Ellie, her two cousins, and also children of our friends, charity organizations, AND, the urge of maximizing the delivery effort etc.). Nevertheless, we have asked most of the sellers directly and many of them have stated clearly that the items are from a smoke-free household. 
From April 2021 onwards, we will strictly require all sellers to make a short declaration that the items are coming from a non-smoking household. We want to build a community of like-minded people based on trust and we hope to remove this requirement in the future. In the event that we find out that the items sold to us come from a smoking household, we will inform you and provide a full refund. 
We LOVE animals, so, sellers with pets at home can sell their preloved to us, no problem at all!
