A couple of weeks ago, we were emailed coupons. Spend $40 and save $15. I went one morning and these shoes were looking at me, but I could find anything else for $10.😭 Went to the register and this lady and her husband were checking out and she let me charge $10.99 pants to my bill. So, she got free pants. 💕At the end of the week I found a Barbara Bui dress, someone trying find it in the sweaters. Haven't seen Barbara Bui in years!

Online deal for this Gucci crossbody.
It needs a bit of work and I've spentbtime de-fuzzing the interior lining.
Do need to stabilise some of the leather.
But $80 NZ plus $5US authentication...was worth it I feel.View attachment 6086209

Can I ask for more details when you say you need to stabilize the leather? I have a bag from what I’m guessing is the same era as your bag (mid-1980s; it was my first designer bag, purchased at age 13) and the leather feels a bit dry. I’ve tried some Cadillac conditioner, but that didn’t do much, so I am wondering if you have other suggestions that might be better? Excellent score, by the way!

Found these new Frye Molly boots with the TJ Maxx tag still on, but were not marked with a Sal Val price. The manager looked at them briefly, and said, 20.00. I tried very hard to keep my cool but even the girl at the register was like OMG!

I had that happen twice with rugs at Bed Bath & Beyond...rug should have been like $100 and it scanned for something like $30
Good for you

Sorry it's taken so long to reply.
I'm just going to use a leather glue as its just a few places that need support.
There is an Angelus product that someone suggested in the Coach Rescue thread if you want to jump over and take a look.
