Last October, I found this little Coach Abbie and this Perry Ellis full grain leather bag, $10 and $11 at a local thrift shop. The PE bag has thin unlined leather and is very light. I liked the suspender style strap attachment. Gonna dunk and condition it like I do for Coach. View attachment 5720056
Love that suspender strap!
 
Haven't found nothing the past couple of weeks at the flea.
1. An Anne Fontaine herringbone (blue & wht) blazer 1/2 off $22.
2. A knitted rabbit and fox vest, I was going to leave it, but I had a couple of compliments from other shoppers at it was only $5.
3. NWT Etro scarf for $5
4. A Bottega Veneta handbag with double handles, a zipper in the middle, like a doctor satchel. Pictures don't do this justice. Had a hard time finding that white tag, but I found it, it had the designer "smell" and the suede interior. Lol. It was on the handbag rack and the $17.00 price tag was punctured through its beautiful leather. Looks new. I was shocked. This is a Savers that I go in like 25 times before I find something. Today, I went in there and they had these men's Balenciaga boots for $500 behind the case and about 5 to 6 Coach bags behind the counter as well.

Did you see this? A buyer at a thrift(TN?) found this necklace in 10/2021 paid $6.10. Had it appraised by a jeweler for $45k and it appraised again on Antiques Roadshow for $50-60k.

I love hearing these stories! I have to start watching AR again! I went with a friend when they were in Atlantic City somewhere back around ‘09. Side note, they have a staff person to keep you from bothering the Keno twins :yes:
 
Hey guys! I need your opinion on these Chanel earrings. The price is pretty high so I wanted to see what you all thought. Thank you.
