Hi everyone! I'm Bonnie, the owner of Preloved Collective. First and foremost, I'm a mom to a teen girl and twin boys, and despite the rough patches and detours along the way, it has been an absolute delight raising them. I know very well that kids outgrow their clothes in the blink of an eye, then you have to find your way back to the stores to shop all over again! and that is just the inevitable reality of raising children.
We all have to admit that we want the best for our children, and therefore, we get caught in the trap of buying exorbitantly expensive clothes for them, knowing that they will soon outgrow them! However, we all want our children to look the part, be it going to a birthday party, a school function or a play date, we want them to look their absolute best, and without a doubt, we are all guilty of spending a pretty penny!
Preloved Collective came as an 'aha moment'! I suddenly had a mountain of children's clothes! from baby clothes, to toddlers, to little girls and to teen girls' clothes! Having twin boys means always having to buy two of the same clothing items every time we go out shopping and when they outgrow them, it's time to pack them away, and go shopping all over again! My daughter outgrew her clothes at an unbelievable speed, just imagine the amount of clothes packed away! What to do next being faced with such a conundrum? That's how Preloved collective came about. I embarked on creating a website for the kind of parent who still want branded clothing for their children, but are mindful of the fact that it would make no financial sense to buy bewilderingly expensive clothes for their children firsthand, when you can choose to buy preloved high-quality clothes that are in excellent condition, at a fraction of the price. I therefore embark on this journey, to further source amazing, preloved alternatives for parents who have been seeking avenues that will make shopping a breeze, coupled with a sigh of relief.
I want to put our clients' minds at ease that, having a legal background means that I'm clad with a deep-rooted commitment to consumer rights and ethical business practices, giving you the peace of mind of knowing that you are shopping with a brand built on transparency and trust. Furthermore, I aspire to bring a unique level of professional integrity and meticulousness to the the world of preloved children's fashion, think of me as the Chief Compliance Officer of Children's fashion! I further believe that every parent deserves a transparent and fair place to shop! Matter of Fact: Your kids are going to look adorable!
Hoping that everyone who visits our site, would instantly experience an 'aha moment', and that being value conscious equals happy shopping!
Bonnie Radana.
