I have not been to bins (not sure what that is) but saw nice vintage Coach from 1970s (one with coin purse ..watermelon?) with 3$ price tag in the basket ready for the trash. I was lucky to be there to save them!
Goodwill bins is where they send all the stuff that doesn't sell. Everything is dumped into huge bins and you have to dig through it. It's best to wear a mask and gloves because it is gross.

Whateve, I wore my mask, but no gloves. I saw her on the top. It was a "grab and go" mission. I stood at the end of the bins. The grabbing and shoving is overwhelming. I paid and ran to the sanitizer in my car.
 
Haven’t had a chance to post here in ages. I did get a maybe crazy deal today:-
Chanel(?) but definitely lambskin bag for £10 at hospice shop.

What a great finding! You should authenticate it. There are reliable online services that will do this for a few dollars. Etinceler is popular here at TPF.

 
Vintage clutch by a New Zealand company now defunct.
No long strap so using a Coach chain .
$25NZ.

Congrats on your new bag. There is another Florian brand, I wonder if they are related.

Thank you @whateve . I do not think we have that in Canada...not yet anyway. ETA.. I am super happy that Coach manor (I think it was a Manor) was found!!!
 
You're not missing anything! I shopped there once and I'll never do it again.
Whateve, I am going to play around the edge everytime I am bold enough to go. I will not be shoved, or intimidated. * This is my bin war song. If I spot it on top, I will skip, jump, and hop to the register. 🤣 If you can see it, you can achieve it. I am the bin cowardly warrior....and proud of it.

Thank you. I was on the Chanel thread trying to figure out where to ask about authenticating before I inevitably got distracted.

I’ll check them out. Tbh I’m probably leaning towards it being a fake because it’s more likely but I’m inspired by how many people find authentic stuff here. Ah well I’ve spent more on brio or spilt liquor either way
