SUSTAINABLE STYLE: Embracing Children’s Consignment Clothing (plus everyday goods that do better)

shop store collection

At Copper & Fern, we believe that sustainability and style go hand in hand. Nestled in the heart of Britannia Beach, we’re proud to offer carefully chosen gifts and goods that support Canadian makers and tread lightly on the planet. One of the ways we stay true to this mission is through our curated selection of children’s consignment clothing.

Why Getting Consignment Matters

The fashion industry is one of the world’s most resource-intensive. With clothing consumption up 400% in the past 20 years, it’s no surprise that millions of garments are discarded each year — 95% of which could be reused or recycled. Consignment offers a conscious alternative.

By shopping secondhand for your kids, you: ✅ Reduce waste ✅ Save water and energy ✅ Support the circular economy For example, reusing just one pair of jeans saves 279 liters of water. Small choices truly make a big impact.

It's A Good Move For Families, Too

Let’s face it — kids grow fast. Consignment lets you keep up affordably, without compromising on quality or style. Plus, consigning outgrown clothes means you can earn back on your original purchases while giving those garments a second life.

What You'll Find At Copper & Fern

Our children’s consignment section is filled with gently loved, high-quality pieces that meet our high standards. Thoughtfully chosen, lovingly displayed, and always evolving — it’s a beautiful way to shop consciously. This section is available for purchase IN-STORE ONLY.
