Ah, I know this is getting old, but it is too good of a thread to let die.
Recent finds... (nothing designer unfortunately)
-Brown satin dress. Hand sewn, a-line skirt, strappy top. 30 cents, my friend bought it but she is far bigger than me.

i got my prom dress for £8 and another dress which i have worn loads for 2euros and a brown satchel bag for 2euros ohh and some miss sixty drainpipes with zips for £1.99 how good is that !
and i bout some dark blue leather peep toe shoes for £4 and i googled the brand of them and a pair very similar to mine were selling on a vintage site for $125
I found a Carlos Falchi messenger bag at a yard sale for $1! I dont' know what its worth b/c I cant' find a pic anywhere on the net and don't have a digi cam to post it here. Is shiny metallic textured material. The label inside says "F Studio designed by Carlos Falchi."
I just scored a beautiful bag with the burberry check....it beautiful. But im not sure if its actually burberry. I cant find label. Does anyone know how I can tell????
I went to a flea market where you could buy a big plastic bag for 2 GBP pounds and fill it up with anything from these enormous piles! Great concept!! Amongst handpainted silk scarves, vintage leather belts and gloves, and a vintage woollen cape, i also came across a cotton scarf with the old Gucci flower print - i think they are making bags with this print now...? I'm not usually a fan of Gucci, but this scarf is really sweet!
And once my friend's mother gave me a Jean Patou Couture skirt + jacket walking suit for freeee because i was the only one she knew who could fit into it. I love it, the quality is amazing! I really don't know which decade it's from though. Recently found out that Lagerfeld worked for this couture house in the beginning of his carrier.
i found 2 black chanel hand bags each $1.99 and a big black prada bag for $2.00 all on the same day a few months ago. and yesterday i found a tan distressed leather high weisted pencil skirt for $3.99, i love it,i don't think it's designer though..... these are my best finds
