About us

Hello and welcome to Charlie & Flos!

I am a mother of three and love to buy great quality clothing that looks fantastic as well as lasts the distance without having to pay the high price tag that goes with it. As a family, we work towards a more sustainable life style, reusing as much as we can to get all the life out of an item. The same goes with clothing.

So many items are thrown our yearly in society which if given the chance has plenty of life still left in them as well as reducing the cost for clothing your children.

Charlie & Flos for our family means also that we can work together as a family. As a business from home, it allows us to be a unit through the process of receiving, checking, listing, packaging and posting.

We wanted a from home extra income for times that we aren't able to work our 9-5 jobs. I'm a qualified Early Childhood Teacher with our two youngest children having extra needs (Autism and Epilepsy) which means the past few years has required us to spend a lot of time up at our local hospital as well as Starship hospital. Having Charlie & Flos means we can also support our family through this journey when our children need us to be with them away from our jobs.

I also understand how hard it is to find the time to go shopping for your children's clothing. Let’s face it, if you ever get any free time, putting your feet up and having a coffee (or a wine!) is far more appealing than trawling around the shops with your kids in tow! I also appreciate that it’s not always easy to find the quality clothing you want for the price you want. And if you’ve got kids who like to stand out from the crowd or wear something a bit different than the norm? Well, there aren’t a lot of options for them.

So, the answer to all these problems is Charlie and Flo’s. We give quality clothing another adventure!

For buyers, know that Charlie & Flo’s sell only premium pre-loved children’s clothing – fantastic quality clothing that is grown out, not worn out. Our collection is lovingly selected, from designer labels to one-of-a-kind handmade items to everyday brands. Our clothes are hand picked for quality and charm; there is only one of each item so they are all unique!

We sell only three types of clothing:

1. Clothes that still have their store tags attached. Find them in the Brand New Collection.
2. Clothes that show no signs of visible wear. Find them in the Nearly New Collection.
3. Clothes that are in EXCELLENT condition. They show only minor wear and are near perfect. Find them in the Baby Boy, Baby Girl, Boys, and Girls Collections 

For people without the time or inclination, we take the hassle out of selling your kids gently worn clothing. Please see the Sell With Us page for more info.

And for the other tree-huggies & greenies out there, shopping at Charlie & Flo’s means we can work together to save the planet, one item of clothing at a time. We are easy on the environment and easy on your wallet. Read more about our sustainability quest.

Have an adventure with Charlie & Flo’s!
