Secondhand bargains, let's see your cheap treasures!

Hello! I have been mostly lurking on the PurseForum and thoroughly enjoying all I read and learn...I am a fairly avid thrifter, and will share more starting now.

Here is a score from the Goodwill 'bins' where it is pay by weight. I didn't know what brand this was, but could tell it is well made. It cost @ $2.00...Bogner Fire&Ice jacket.

Well hello..
Happy to read you're going to post more, the more the merrier..

LOVE the jacket!! The purses are nice too but that jacket is just my style. Well, one of them anyway.. I change my style up from day to day & event to event. What a bargain too! Well done you.

Nice hauls! Can you say more about the purses? The large tote looks amazing, and the vintage red one is so cute!

Sure! The brown slouchy tote is Kurt Geiger, the smaller roundish black one is vintage Nina Ricci, the reddish is India Hicks...the large black with the fobs is in pristine shape and is Donald Pliner, the satchel is a brand I am not familiar with, but is so well made called Wittchen. The square-ish pleated bag I also had never heard of, but is well made as well, I attached a pic of the inside tag. It also has a coin! So fun.

I was the first one in the closet this morning and the first one with their hand on those bags. The orange one was gone and the other two were fake. The LV's were authentic and priced as such... Entire sale was basically retail or higher prices.

I'm so sorry about the purses. It's disappointing to wait and then find out everything is too high.

Any of you know the brand L‘Aiglon from Paris? Saw this vintage cute little bag today, seemed well made, but wasn’t sure.

Yes - I was getting excited but some things need to be found it seems, not presented. What a pity.

Bogner is a superb ski-wear company; retail on that jacket is $600-700

Quiz for the day. What are the skins on these bags? I think I know, but I need other opinions? They are NOT cow leather. Raven any idea?

Well, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole with this question! I found this links super interesting, and wonder if the top one is a toad leather??

Interesting. I could never carry anything with something's head on it. That is so disturbing. I thought it was stingray because a long time ago I saw a stingray bag and had never seen one, but when I looked it up, it wasn't the same. I thought the seond one was turtle (also disturbing). They are not my bags. Someone posted all these bags and shoes she got at an Estate sale. I am intrigued, as you are. I consider myself pretty knowedgable on bags, but these are stumping me.
