Thank you Whateve! I couldn't believe they were at Goodwill for that price. I thought the price was for an empty box, you know how crazy prices can get at Goodwill. Anyway, I purchased the bottle at a small thrift store. It had a price tag of $535 on the bottom. The price tag was covering the name. I absolutely love finding Jay Strongwater items.
Secondhand bargains, let's see your cheap treasures!

I love TPF because I LEARN SO MUCH!
I had never heard of Jay Strongwater...glad to learn about this. (I had never heard of Delvaux, but thanks to TPF I recognized two vintage Delvaux purses at an estate sale and got them. Yay!)
Same here, I learn so much from my thrifting PFF's and congrats on the purses. Pics please!

As for the "faux" comment - I thought (perhaps misunderstood) that she was simply commenting/cautioning on how many "faux" bags there are. I honestly didn't think much more than that.
As for "feeling attacked", I can say that there have been quite a few times I've had low key sarcastic comments thrown my way by a few individuals and Sakura hasn't "liked" any of my posts, although i have always supported her finds. It's one of the reasons why I had to step away for a while instead of calling it out. This forum shouldn't be so complicated."

My response:
It isn't always obvious to all of us what a post means...I wasn't sure if the Burberry items posted were to show/congratulate the thrift store for being honest, because of the quotation marks, or if the items were indeed genuine... I wasn't critical either way, just wasn't sure.
Personally, when it comes to posts, and texts and such I try to remember to give grace to posters, because misinterpretation is so much easier in type. I don't think anyone on this thread meant any harm to anyone.
Sorry you might have felt attacked... Also hugs to the other poster who also felt slighted.

Here they are.
That's a really lovely tote. I don't think they meant to say that the bag is fake! "Faux" is French, highly doubt there are many native French speakers working at Goodwill. I'm sure they meant the material - PU is often referred to as, 'faux leather'.

spotted but not purchased local resale jewelry store. I can dream right!? Too bad it's not $13.99
Thrifted book collection. Paid $1-5 each. My goal is to read 100 books this year!
Fantastic buys! I have every faith in you that you can read 100 books this year!
Oh man sorry to hear that, would hope we could all be nice to one another

Oh I have had some beef with that shop on Instagram. And she bought a skirt off of me. Tbh if I had known it was her I wouldn’t of sold it to her. But she does have nice stuff. But be warned. She doesn’t fully disclose the condition of the pieces. The 50’s Dior coat that she Dyed did come out quite nicely through. And she does have some nice McQueen pieces.I'm.not on TikTok...I view two week old Tictok on Instagram like a normal person.
