If you’re new to motherhood in Canberra and feeling like everyone else got the manual… you’re not alone 🤍
At TLCco Store, we’re a mum-run social enterprise built from real motherhood experiences – IVF, prematurity, neonatal loss, solo seasons, beautiful chaos, and everything in between. We created the space we wished existed when we needed it most.
👶 Beautiful, boutique-quality baby & children’s clothing (new + circular fashion)
🍼 Micro preemie clothing from 650g to 5 years – because every child deserves to be celebrated
💛 Thoughtful support for families navigating medical needs
🌱 A sustainable buyback program that reduces waste and gives clothing a second life
🎁 Carefully curated gifts for newborns, baby showers & first birthdays
🤍 Thoughtful postpartum care essentials
But what makes TLCco different isn’t just what’s on the racks… it’s how you feel when you walk through the door.
No awkward questions.
No assumptions.
No pressure.
Just warmth, understanding, and a team of local mums who truly get it.
We also created Mamma Mingle – a free, in-person community gathering for local mums, and Mamma Mingle Bump Edition, for mums expecting this year.
Whether you’re navigating sleepless nights, new motherhood, grief, multiple kids, or just trying to meet people in a new city, you are welcome here.

No child is too small to be celebrated.

No mum should have to do it alone.

The Little Capsule Co (TLCco) is a Canberra-based baby and kids clothing store specialising in beautiful pre-loved pieces and thoughtful essentials from newborn to 5 years. We’re a social enterprise built around circular fashion - helping families save money, reduce waste and pass great pieces onto their next adventure.
Mostly pre-loved, always carefully selected. Every item is hand-checked for quality, condition and wearability before it reaches the floor or website. We only accept pieces we’d happily dress our own kids in, so you’ll find brands you love at prices that actually make sense.
We stock sizes from micro prem (00000000) through to around 5 years, with new arrivals landing constantly. Because we work on a resale model, the range changes daily - which means there’s always something new to discover.
Yes, you can shop online - but it’s a completely separate collection to our Canberra store. Our online store is packed and shipped from our Brisbane location, and the Canberra in-store collection is available in person only and is our original location.
You bring in quality pieces your kids have outgrown, we assess them, and if they’re a fit we make you an offer (typically in store credit). Those pieces then get a new chapter with another family - and you get help funding the next size up.
Yes - we host free Mamma Mingle catch-ups designed to help you find your people (whether you’re pregnant or already in the thick of mum life). They’re relaxed, welcoming and you can come exactly as you are. You can learn more and join the community via our website.
No - TLCco isn’t a charity and we don’t receive government funding. We’re a self-funded social enterprise started by two mums trying to make parenting a little lighter on families and the planet. Every purchase, resale and visit genuinely keeps the doors open and the community running.
