Kids grow up so fast — and sometimes don’t even get a season’s wear out of their wardrobes.

‍

It makes for a booming resale market: find cool clothes for the children in your life with this curated list of Canadian secondhand sellers.

‍

P.S. When you do come across those truly vintage pieces, they’re a fun way to give your mini‑me a little extra style cred on the playground.
