I graduated from Textile Design specialising in embroidery
I have yet to read my thrifted copy, but a couple of weeks ago I thrifted a Paolo Gucci watch.
By the way, I bought this thrifted Christian Dior sweater for $1.75 and never posted.

I found a cool Kate Spade, the handles aren't looking to good; but overall the bag is too cute.

Laz, oh Laz...I need a button..preferably blue. I have to save the world!:lolots:If I have to buy every glass jar of every old lady that is stuffed with buttons ... I'll do it. I don't care. One day maybe you all will need a massive amount of buttons n glass jars to save the world and you'll know who to turn to.

It is very cute bag, fun colors for summerTurns out my MJ handbag was authentic and I place it on the bay. It was small, but the colors are so sweet. I hope you find one and thanks about the Pucci.
Did you notice if the hardware was marked anywhere?
Love that last one!
Is anyone an expert on Vintage Designers (like Yves Saint Laurent)? I went to the Consignment Store with my friends and she bought this. The owner thought it was '60's. My friend thinks it's '80's. I haven't got a clue. They also had three of the oldest, coolest Chanel bags I have ever seen (for $1800 each-yeah, right).
Today I found these Frye boots in my size for $13. They look brand new but a dog chewed up the leather sole (can't really see it). Look at that color.... Glorious! Did i mention they are made in USA? Also found Tory sandals for $7 not sure if I will keep those.
Also pictured a TJ find MbMJ silk toucan top $20
Krissy I'm so sorry that you had to deal with arrogant and ignorant bastar....,
On a lighter note, here are some of the things I found on buffalo exchange!

Pierre balmain dress, Givenchy jacket and Isabel marant skirt with tag retail$880!
I also found this Alice and Olivia dress
View attachment 2212054
Vince leggings, ySL logo tshirt that retails for $290 and Helmut Lang top! I am over the moon!
I went out thrifting this morning and found a couple of items. One is a Judith Leiber snakeskin belt for $2.99. I think the buckle should have been gold...not sure, but it is a nice belt.

Great haul Pao!
I waited and waited and waited and finally came a week when blue tags in SA are 50% off, so here it is:
There are some numbers on the inside, only explanation I could figure out is that maybe they were on the leather before the bag was made Any more ideas?
Hubs is ok.
I told him the ties I got him on Sunday were so fancy and designer that they should be bulletproof.
He's getting lots of emails from student who were in the Library the day of the shooting laying on the floor as bullets went thru the drywall and students who were barricaded in their classrooms for hours.
So yeah, brutal. 5 people dead and the shooter was in the math class of one of Hubs' students also last year.
Hubs won't have to go back for a week, so I'm basically in denial that he'll ever need to go back.
Thanks you Loves for the kind concern. I really could not believe it when the computer system called and said in the female robot voice, "There is a shooter on Campus ...."
Not to make light of scary situaitons, but I have to share my find today thanks to Lazlo's quick answer
Christian Dior skirt suit. The skirt is a pencil skirt. I have a woman's business networking lunch coming up and call me crazy I'm thinking of wearing this with the Jeffrey Campbell Nighwalkers? yes? Or absolutely NO?
Here's the suit that I squeezed myself into the skirt I also removed shoulder pads the size of my head!
I fixed the Tory's...
"
I bought these, they were different and cost $1
"
I bought this vintage Bass lizard clutch for 90 cent...it had white paint on it, but I managed to clean it;
now I need to condition it...
"
and I bought this Waterman pen for $1. Does anyone know anything about it?
"
Yet another Coach SCORE at Goodwill - found OUTSIDE the glass case:
Black 2002 Legacy West Small Zoe Hobo - $14.99
...and, drum roll please...ROSE 2006 Legacy Leather Shoulder Bag - $6.99 - say WHAT?
Both are currently in rehab and doing very well!
Yay!! Score on the vintage perfume!! I LOVE that older perfumes were sold in such enormous bottles!! Another thing they just don't do like they used to...
I'm beginning to wonder if our thrift stores donate foo-foo to women's shelters. It's been ages since I've seen any. And OF COURSE, I'm okay with them donating to gals in need. Whatever gives one a pick-me-up
Hehe! When thrifting like pieces I often dream up stories of the person who owned them! And eighties clothes are especially fun! I always picture the Golden Girls, lol. They rocked so hard!
And Laz, not to bring it up again, but I feel for you. Wish I could bring you a fuzzy, heavy blanket and some hot tea. Do you take lemon?
I'll never, EVER understand the senseless violence. I mean, don't get me wrong, I most certainly like animals more than most people, but... Nope, I still can't fathom it. I wish mental health wasn't such a taboo topic in America. I truly believe it all starts there. And not to sound harsh, but if you're tortured why not just take your own life and be done with it? Oy, that sounds harsh, but I hope you know what I mean
*biggest hugs around*
So unbelievably nervous. Today I graduate. Wish me luck.
