The last time I purchased at Sparkle Kids was over ten years ago at their South Lamar location. That location has since closed. The Burnet location is the original and only location remaining. Unfortunately their boys section wasn't as extensive as their girls section but I was still able to find a pair of swimming trunks I traded. I traded in a boys Tea Collection t shirt for 3 - 6 months for $3. I plan to sell more clothes in the future but am worried about their banking app that I don't have installed. read more

This is my favorite local gem for consignment kids clothes. I've been shopping here for 8 years for my body and girl. It's such an amazing spot with a great selection. Many organic/ natural brands, especially for babies onesies. read more

LOVE this shop. Perfect way to buy quality, higher end pieces. I mainly buy clothes but also buy toys & books! Super great selection throughout. I've even bought great gifts here! I have never sold here but I do shop here often. read more

Been coming here for years to buy and sell excellent kids clothes. I just sold $180 retail value new of gently loved and new things and got $22 credit. I wanted the other option ($17 cash) check like they had done for years but they are now not writing checks or giving cash. It's a bank program app which I don't have. I hope they change this as I want to continue my relationship. Hopefully the owner will not just have one form of bank payment available and go back to checks. read more

I really really want to love this place. However, you're better off selling at Once Upon a Child or another local consignment. On the phone I confirmed which brands they take when I made my selling appointment. I brought in a tub of clothes that were all the name brands they carry and were in great condition or even better than some of what they carry in the store (Hanna Andersson, Janie & Jack, Nordstrom, Gap, etc). They didn't take a single item of clothing and they took the one toy I brought in. The girl goes "we didn't need any of this but we can offer you $5 for this" and then the other gal working says "actually we can offer you $3 cash or $4 trade in." It was awkward. I purchased my one thing and I left. Not sure I plan to go back. I left with a bad taste of pretension in my mouth and annoyed I wasted my time. read more

I can only speak for my experience of trying to sell here... I'm sure it's a lovely place to shop... but offering $5 cash $7 trade for a brand new pair of upscale European shoes that cost $65 new is pretty bad. They were BRAND NEW and I only brought them because they didn't fit the intended wearer. Hmph. read more

I love the spacious feel of the environment. Most re-sale shops feel like a thrift store, overcrowded with stuff and cluttered. SparkleKIDS feels expansive with the great window light and organized racks of clothing. The times I've visited I've always felt welcome, and the owner is friendly and open. I will definitely be back again to check for quality used clothes for my growing child. read more

SparkleKids Upscale Resale - Stylish window display at SparkleKIDS - Baby Gear & Furniture Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

Good selection, although very little in the way of young boys. However! The sales woman was WONDERFUL. Sweet, helpful, relaxing, and ever so conversational. I will go back every chance I get. read more

I'm use to thrift shopping and buying second hand, so I've gotten accustomed to some of the "special" smells those kind of stores have. But there was no "special" smells here. My husband was pleasantly surprised how clean and organized everything was.You can tell the store is selective and tries to only sell quality items. We met the owner, Lauren, and she was super friendly. I'm sure if we lived in the area, we'd go to SparkleKids to find some great deals. Keep this new business in business! Shop at SparkleKids! read more

If SparkleKids won't sell it, I don't want it. They only carry the higher-end goods (Gap, Janie & Jack, Tea Collection, local Austin designers, labels-I-don't-know-but-make-the-cutest-clothes, etc.) and, while I'm sometimes a little skeptical to put myself into used goods, I have no hesitations about putting my little darling in the items at SparkleKids; they're clean and in wonderful shape. It's also well-organized, with manageable collection. Second-hand stores are often off-putting because of the sheet volume of the disorganized array or items. But not so here. More than just clothes, they have new hair accessories, small jewelery-type items, shoes, and used toys and nursery goods in the back, with the toys to keep mobile kids occupied. Also, the owner is super friendly. read more

I stumbled upon this place after getting my hair cut next door. What a find! This place is great. Its got lots of nice kids clothes, and it's very manageable to navigate. Some of the items they had were priced really well. Others were a little overpriced, but that is the way it is at any resale shop. I'm looking forward to going back and continuing to check out their selection. Here's one final tip. They have a kids room in the back complete with toys and everything. That way mom can shop in relative peace. read more

My all time favorite kids resale shop ever! The owner is amazing and deals are unbeatable. I will be a loyal customer forever!! read more

Love, love, love this place! They don't take everything people bring, which is nice because what they do take is super cute and great quality. They are selective on what they take which is more than I can say for others in the area. They don't take bedding flat out and I assume it's for multiple reasons. They could take anything like Pumpkin Patch does but then they wouldn't be so great! They carry known brands, not stuff like Carter's that's everywhere. I bought a Vera Bradley onesie for $7 which I later saw at a boutique in a gift pack with a hat for $50+! Also picked up a super cute Mud Pie dress for $12! Their prices are really good and worth what you're buying. I highly recommend shopping here over other children's resale shops. Will definitely frequent this place! read more

No wait to sell at 3:30 on a Friday. Walked away with 23 store credit which got me a pair of converse and a button up for my almost 4 year old. So sad I hadn't gone here before! read more

Walked in here for the first time today looking for shorts for my 7 year old (After we told her no to some $50 Roxy short shorts at another store ;) Don't get me wrong I LOVE Roxy, these were just not cool for a 7 yr old). Found 3 pair--all fit--daughter is so cute, happy, stylish and classy. Will definitely walk back in here from time to time and grab a few more needed items. I was there maybe 22 minutes. The lady directed me to what I was looking for and I easily found it. It gets 5 stars from me too. Sharil read more

Every time I visit this shop the selection is great , items carried are fairly priced and customer service is always friendly

Great selling process. No hassle, fair and quick! They also have amazing selections. Love coming here to update my daughters wardrobe for different seasons. Definitely check this place out! read more

I just love this place. Great deals on quality kids clothes. Perfect to pick up something special for family pics!

Yay SparkleKids! Upscale Resale, low-key prices! Really, there are enough of these resale shops in town, but they just aren't discerning. It takes someone with an eye for the Major McCute to weed through all the clutter of kid duds, and madam Lauren has her finger firmly planted on the pulse of this trend. I don't wanna buy new crap. I don't wanna buy old worn-out crap. I wanna buy things that make the cut past a really picky designer (that's me) and be able to afford it... on a lowly designer's income! Really, I am just amazed that the children's clothing industry is so lackadaisical about their styling. Like, was there a collective decision to just give up putting good-looking things on our kids? I totally did not get that memo! I have a girl and a boy, and finding things for either of them is kind of a challenge especially for the boy. Like, oh, you're a boy, so you can just wear monkeys and trucks and dinosaurs because that is your whole personality from now until eternity. Oh, and you, little girl! Put on this pink crap with tutus and lace because your entire identity hinges on being able to look pretty and sweet! Oh. Did you feel that? It was the earth quivering in the wake of my enormous eye roll! Anyways. SparkleKids took a lot of my used goods at a really reasonable rate, and sold me some super stellar wardrobe-boosters for both my tots. I've already told about 15 other parents about this place, and I'll be back with a big ole tub o trade-ables soon! Have babies? Also have discriminating fashion needs? This is totally the place for you. read more

I wasn't that impressed with my first visit here. I wanted to find a kids' light jacket, but they didn't have anything in the right size. I browsed all of their boys clothing, and I wasn't that impressed with their selection or pricing. $7 for a well used Baby Gap t-shirt is not a good deal. Some of their items were nice and they had some premium brands, but nothing really knocked my socks off. The service was indifferent too; no one asked to help me find what I was looking for. I might return if I was in the neighborhood again, but there are other thrift stores to which I'd prefer taking my business. read more

Prices are good. I don't normally buy expensive kids clothes so I don't know how much retail price should be. But the clothes are cute and I don't have to search a gazillion racks to find the perfect item. read more

This is the BEST re-sale shop! Boutique and name brand clothing at great prices. The shop owner is usually there and is so laid back and personable. To note: if you have clothes to sell, don't bring Old Navy, Target etc. This is more of a Gap, Janie & Jack, Tea type place. read more

Cute little boutique with new and gently used stuff for the kid that already has good taste! Nestled in the middle a newer shopping center in the heart of central Austin... EZ to pop in and browse, and the 2 times I've been back it seems like that have even more cute stuff. read more

I really like this place and get a lot of my daughter's clothes here. The selection is good for a small shop. I shopped for my baby girl in both girls' and boys since anything remotely unisex for little ones gets put in boys'. Great place to get Hanna Andersson and Tea. read more

Good stuff for younger kids, but once they hit size 10+ there are slim pickings. If you need size 12/14, forget it.

My new baby has the cutest clothes, because of Sparkle Kids!! I got so many designer onesies and dresses and a few lovely wooden toys at such amazing prices!! I also sold a few items and that made my savings feel even more awesome! What a great store!!! I'll be shopping here a lot! read more

My favorite resale store by far (& I've been to MANY) in the area. Soooooo happy to have found it. I admit I'm a thrifty momma with expensive taste in kids clothes and I buy way too much clothes for my girls. I've sold several outfits here and hardly ever leave empty handed. Prices are mostly good and the quality is amazing! Expect to find organic, euro brand (Oilily, Catimini), and pricey brands like Baby Lulu, kissy kissy, Lelli Kelli, etc. for way less than retail. Also like the locally made dresses, hair accessories & jewelry (hammerhead shark mirror earrings might be my next purchase!) read more

What a gem! I'm always trying to dress my daughter in to-die-for clothes without to-die-for prices. SparkleKids has a great selection (they have a fab eye for clothes). The quality of clothes is high and the prices are fair. The shop is cute and well-organized and ... I can't wait to go back. read more

Great store, great service. We always go here first when looking for something. As a bonus, we just picked up some ski clothes there. Huge savings. read more

This place is super cute! A hidden gem for unique gently worn clothes for kiddos. The items are reasonably priced. We were able to get out of there with 4 dresses at about $50. My only wish for them is a fitting room but they make the best use of the space they have. read more

Very cute store! Love the sales host, she was very sweet and inviting. Really like the layout of the store, everything was easy to get to. Great prices for cute clothes. I will definetly be back. read more

This place is awesome. The prices are right on, the quality is amazing. I have also taken items in to places like pumpkin patch only to have them offer me an insulting amount for the effort. Selling to SparkleKids was fair and now I have an excuse to visit more often. So glad this place is in my neighborhood! read more

I love this place and the owner. I feel like I have access to a great kids closet. The quality is top notch and the prices are the best in town. read more

Really fair pricing for the quality. Great selection that is updated pretty regularly--I've been slowly building a gender neutral wardrobe for a 6&under month old and find new cute things every time I stop by. So far I've spent less than what it would have cost to rent a baby bundle--the other eco friendly/cost conscious option I was considering for baby. Hoping some of the pieces remain in good enough shape to resell making it even more of a cost effective option. Of all the thrift & consignment stores I've browsed through while prepping for baby, this is definitely my fave! read more

Great service & solid offerings for both boys & girls - saw a few hard to find lines here so kudos for being in the know!

My 8-y.o. daughter wanted me to find her "special Valentine's Day clothes" for her class party. Her request came the day before the party, and I was not about to spend all day going from mall to mall looking for styles and sizes that work. So I tried SparkleKids. I called ahead of time asking what they had available that fit the bill. Lauren offered to pull items from the rack, so I could walk in and shop quickly. I picked up a Burberry shirt-dress with hearts for under $20. I was in and out of the shop in a matter of minutes. SparkleKids made me feel like a VIP shopper. I will be back again and again. read more

The items are gently used, some brand new with tags in them still! I always find great clothing for both girls and boys. Employees also very friendly. Never had a bad experience here. read more

Great prices on good quality clothes. Boys selection is a little limited compared to the girls but that seems to be the norm.

I love this store! Lauren, the owner, is incredibly nice and warm and this has definitely become my go-to place for clothing for my little guy. Every time I pop in, I always leave with something. It just feels great to know you are buying local and good quality, recycled merchandise. There is a play area in the back so you can take your time to browse. So happy to have this great store in our neighborhood! read more

Have had a great experience here both as a buyer and as a seller. Super cute things, even for older kids. Great shoe selection. Open a South Austin branch Lauren! Pretty please. :-) read more
