Finally, a dedicated maternity & nursing store for mamas.
Just a mom of two littles who only intended to sell her own maternity and nursing clothing…
But then realized local mothers need & deserve a dedicated store within which to shop & actually try on clothing.
So, this is that store!
What Are You Looking For?
Maternity clothing, nursing clothing, and items that work for pregnancy and beyond are all here!
Select pieces now available at Hip Kids in Downtown Kingston!
Hip Kids is an independent, family-owned baby store in Kingston Ontario.
You can now browse the shop page and see what’s available in store in Downtown Kingston.
Every single item in the shop has been sourced from a local mother, laundered, steamed, and displayed for the next mama to try-on and love.
Welcome, mama!
Are you looking for maternity, nursing, and postpartum clothing that you can try on, pick up, or have shipped right to your door?
Welcome to the Kingston Ontario area’s only dedicated maternity and nursing clothing shop. The home shop is located in the west end, in Amherstview, Ontario (two streets away from the #ygk).
Struck by Secondhand pieces are also available in Downtown Kingston at Hip Kids. The city’s independent, family-owned baby store!
So what’s the scoop? Struck by Secondhand carries only maternity and nursing pieces that are in excellent condition and suitable for pregnancy and postpartum. Because a mom of two who’s been in your shoes is running this joint!
Each piece of clothing is sourced directly from a local mother's closet. Mothers who are finished with their pieces can sell and/or donate their items to the shop. The clothing is then laundered, steamed, and displayed, ready for you to try on during your private shopping appointment. You can also peruse each piece here, should you prefer to shop online.
No need to pay exorbitant prices for new clothing online, or haggle with strangers on Facebook Marketplace. You can feel good about your purchase knowing your money went towards a woman-run local business, and back to the mother whose clothing you purchased!
Shop online and opt for flat-rate shipping, or porch pick-up in the west or east end of Kingston, Ontario.
And if you'd prefer to peruse hundreds of maternity and nursing pieces, from bras to winter coats, in person, just send along a message via email/the contact page, Instagram, Facebook, or Facebook Messenger. Come solo or bring your friends/family and the children you may already have in your care. They’re welcome to use the playroom located right in front of the shop door!
Struck by Secondhand has saved hundreds of pieces of clothing from landfills while also supporting local charitable organizations that similarly strive to support local mothers and parents. All overstock and baby items are shared with community non-profit partners such as The Pregnancy Care Centre, YGK Thrift, The Doula Support Foundation, and the Kingston General Hospital NICU.
In 2023, Struck by Secondhand was awarded Gold by Community Votes in the Maternity Clothing category.
Welcome, and thanks for being here, mama!
