22 Main St., Cambridge, ON

Encore Threads and Treasures is a family-owned Cambridge shop offering pre-loved baby and children’s clothing, toys and books, alongside new products.

About

Founded by parents Bruce and Angelica, Encore focuses on products for growing families. Its mix includes second-hand clothing and children’s items as well as new toys, apparel and home essentials.

The owners describe an approach that includes repairing or altering suitable clothing and passing unused items to local charities and shelters. Not everything sold in the shop is second-hand.

How it works

  • Visit the Cambridge store or browse the clothing and toy collections online.

  • Check individual listings to distinguish pre-loved items from new stock and confirm sizes, condition and availability.

  • If you want to sell or trade children’s items, review Encore’s current intake information and contact the shop before bringing items in.

Why it’s low-waste

Buying pre-loved children’s clothing, toys and books keeps usable items circulating as children outgrow them. Repairing suitable garments can also extend their life. The reuse benefit applies to the shop’s second-hand items, rather than every product it sells.

Good for

  • Pre-loved baby and children’s clothing

  • Second-hand toys and books

  • Families seeking new and pre-loved options

  • Cambridge and Waterloo Region shoppers
