About

CLWB CALON emerged from the idea of giving sustainably conscious parents and gifters a place where they can find preloved kids clothing that’s well curated and in great condition. It also comes from a love of sourcing preloved clothing for myself and my two girls. I’ve always enjoyed hunting for preloved treasures and started buying Vintage clothing in my teenage years. Hanging out in the local charity shop was one of my favourite things to do and very rewarding. 

I've been working in fashion for over 10 years, so I have a good eye for quality, fabrics and trends - but I also know the downside of this industry. Joining the CLWB and buying preloved items not only means moving away from fast fashion and setting your heart on items that you really love but also keeps clothing from landfill. On top of that it’s a much more affordable way to be able to buy high-quality brands. 

 

CLWB CALON is based in Wales. Moving to this country made me appreciate the things we need to do to keep things we believe in, alive. A tradition, a language, a way of living. We’re all connected on this planet. So less waste and rotation of what can be rotated should be a daily mission for everyone. 

And one more thing, when it comes to kidswear, it’s important to think twice about what you put on your little one's sensitive skin. It’s proven that the majority of new clothing that has been treated needs to be washed at least a handful of times to not contain any chemicals or even pesticides. Buying worn and washed clothing for your kids makes a massive difference in their skin’s health and what it could absorb. 

Please feel free to drop me a message if there’s something specific you’re looking for - there’s nothing more I like than a thrifting session with a mission. 

Now have fun shopping and welcome to Clwb Calon! 

Love,
