ABOUT US

Hi, I’m Claire!

Mom of three busy boys, lover of second-hand treasures, creator of chaos, baker of brownies, finder of rainbows, hamster owner, soccer sideline cheerleader… and the person behind Nearly New Kids.

If you’ve ever stood in front of a drawer full of clothes wondering how your child managed to outgrow everything overnight, you’re in the right place.

Because honestly?

I’ve been there too.

Nearly New Kids started with a simple belief

Kids grow fast.

Really fast.

One minute you’re buying a gorgeous Country Road jacket, and the next it’s too small and sitting forgotten in a cupboard. At the same time, another mom is searching for exactly that jacket and doesn’t want to spend retail prices.

Nearly New Kids helps connect those two moms.

Simple. Good quality children’s clothing deserves more than one adventure.

A little bit about me

I’m based in Cape Town and spend most of my days juggling school runs, packing orders, answering emails, photographing tiny clothes, washing soccer kits, building Lego, and trying to remember where I left my coffee.

I love creating things.

Whether it’s styling outfits, sewing Christmas stockings, designing something beautiful, baking with my boys, or building Nearly New Kids into a community that moms genuinely enjoy being part of.

The older I get, the more I realise that life isn’t really about having more.

It’s about appreciating what we already have.

And making thoughtful choices where we can.

More than just clothing

NNK isn’t only about saving money.

It’s about helping families.

It’s about reducing waste.

It’s about giving great clothing a longer life.

It’s about finding quality pieces without spending a fortune.

And it’s about making motherhood just a tiny bit easier.

Because let’s be honest…

Moms already have enough on their plates.

Whether you’re here to shop, browse, sell through us, or simply enjoy the community, I’m so glad you’ve found us.

Pop the kettle on.

You never know what treasure you might find today.
