This was my best ever find. It is a Charles & Patricia Lester velvet jacket. The photo (the only one I still have does not do it justice at all). It was on the rack among the wash-worn Old Navy sweaters and I just loved the color. I first thought it was damaged because there was a bit of extra fabric pinned to it but then I realized it was just the fabric sample. I looked up the brand and my jaw dropped.
I ended up selling it because I really had nowhere to wear it.

Ahhh! Life needs a jacket like that. Imagine lounging (self-isolating) on a reclining chair, preferred beverage in hand, patio overlooking a gorgeous view.

Thanks! Me too! It was in a thrift store where all the Coach, Dooney, LV and Brighton were priced very high. I guess the owner didn't know about Brahmin because it was with the no-name brands. It looks nearly brand new too.

My first designer wallet was a Coach patent leather Bleeker, that wallet lasted me 6+ years, I couldn’t kill it, lol!

That's happened to me with Coach wallets too. I wish they would wear out to I could justify a new one!

I actually found this inside of a purse. As I was walking down the stairs of my home, I heard something fly out of one of the handbags. I picked it up... it was this ring. I showed my family. To my astonishment, it turned out to be a legitimate ring. When it was appraised, it was worth $10,000.

OMG! The person who lost it must have been devastated!
