I found this Celine bag for $45 at Goodwill.
Here's how I consistently find gems while thrifting:
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
- Shop Tuesday-Wednesday (fresh donations from weekend cleanouts)
- Go early morning for the best selection
- Visit stores in wealthy neighborhoods
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
- Check fabric content - natural fibers last longer
- Examine stitching and hardware quality
- Look for timeless silhouettes, not trends
RED FLAGS TO AVOID
- Pilling that can't be removed
- Broken zippers (rarely worth fixing)
- Stains near seams (won't come out)
The best part? Thrifting is the most sustainable way to shop.
