[Lela London]

LOVE the Moschino! I recently found an old Gucci purse for £20. Almost mint condition. FIRST THRIFTING WIN!

Does anyone know of any good thrift stores in the Liverpool/Wirral area in England? Im looking for some pretty bargains that everyone else won't have. I just hope that I am half as lucky as the rest of you at finding some good things. Thanks

My best find in a while......a Vivienne Westwood dark brown wool scarf with the orb logo stitched on the end for £2! Then by some bizarre coincidence an hour later at a completely different place I found the correct dustbag for it 30p!

Two Hermes ties, first with foliage print with leaf veins woven into silk
Gucci tie, £2 each

Izzue unlined cotton jacket with reversed buttons and wired edging (which can be manipulated into any shape I like!)
£6.99

P.S. Paul Smith sleeveless cotton jumper with red line detailing (possible new favourite piece of clothing)
£1.95

Dolce & Gabbana (Not D&G!) unlined linen blazer.
Incredible fit but sleeves need shortening a tad.

That has to be the cutest shopping story I've heard in a long time, nice finds!
I got my most face dress ever out of a charity shop, it cos me £3 and it's a gorgeous dark gold/black maxi with a split up the side, it fits perfect and nearly always wear it to work or special events

Two weeks ago I found two Givenchy scarves and then today I found a silk Lanvin scarf for $1.99.

I live in Santa Barbara. I have no idea what brand that sweater is! Who ever owned it before me, cut off the tag! Since it's Santa Barbara, I think it's safe to assume it's not a bad brand sweater. The average cost of a home here is one million dollars (I'm here for school)!

i've gone thrifting in ventura/oxnard areas near there and the deals are so insane compared to l.a.

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Just got back from a major thrift shop spree.. purchases:

[Genuine] Prada mens' shirt - £7.00
Paul Smith t-shirt - £3.25
All Saints waistcoat - £3.95
All Saints shirt - £2.99

The last three I'm going to sell

It does look like it ... if so, you can be sure the cashier didn't give it to the original owner for free

 

[Crying Diamonds]

Just bought an Hermès 'Musée' scarf and a smaller Jeanne Lanvin scarf, for a total of £1.00 at the carboot this morning.
Made my day..
