Chloe & Cate started in a way that probably feels familiar to more moms than you'd think… Sitting on my phone, refreshing Instagram—over and over again—trying to snag smocked outfits for my daughter before they sold out. Because they always did.
At the time, I was shopping a local children's consignment boutique in Baton Rouge, Louisiana that I absolutely loved. But getting there wasn't always easy. And as a mom, I didn't have time to drive across town, dig through racks at a kids resale shop, or spend hours searching for the right pieces. I just wanted cute, classic children's clothing—quickly.
When that boutique started posting items online, it felt like the perfect solution… except everything sold out in seconds. After weeks of trying (and failing) to check out in time, I finally asked the owner: "Why don't you post more items online?" Her answer? "It's too much of a headache." And I remember thinking… wait, what? Because from my perspective—that was the only way I could shop. And I knew I couldn't be the only mom searching for a better way to shop secondhand kids boutique clothes near me.
That's when the idea sunk in: what if there was an easier way to shop preloved kids fashion online—without the stress, the rush, or the digging? What if moms in Baton Rouge, LA and Prairieville, LA could shop smocked clothing resale in Louisiana, classic Southern children's clothing resale, and their favorite classic children's boutique brands—all in one place? From grandmillennial kids fashion to traditional Southern children's clothing, I wanted it to feel curated, timeless, and easy. I couldn't shake the idea, so I decided to do something about it.
I started small. Just an Instagram account. A few pieces. And a whole lot of figuring it out as I went. There was no big launch, no perfect plan—just a simple goal: to create a better resale experience, a place where moms could shop Chloe & Cate secondhand pieces with ease, and even consign their kids' clothes right in Baton Rouge without the usual hassle.
