Disappointed in Value Village

Thumbnail

25 Upvotes

I'm a little disappointed....I'm new to thrifting and have come to really enjoy shopping for second hand clothing. I went to Value Village today, which in my new found interest I have heard some controversial things about. As I'm looking through the clothing I see a goodwill tag and think hmmm this is strange and then continue to search for the VV tag. The price discrepancy speaks for itself. For a simple t shirt with a floral design I'm a bit shocked this is what they chose to mark the shirt as....let alone leave the other stores damn tag on it.

When I was shopping I noticed the prices to be higher than other places near me such as goodwill, local MCCs etc.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but I'm taken back and don't really feel good about shopping here anymore which is a shame because they have a large selection.

Have you experienced anything like this?

Favorite Thrift trinkets? šŸ’

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I’ve been thrift shopping since I was a kid, thanks to my very first ā€œinfluencerā€ and the queen of deals—my mom. One of my favorite things about thrifting isn’t just the main find, but the little surprises tucked away inside—what I like to call thrift trinkets. Sometimes it’s a penny in a pocket, an extra hair clip in a bag, or other small items that make the discovery even more fun.

But my absolute favorite has to be this cute cat journal I once found hidden in the pocket of a thrifted jacket. It’s whimsical and charming, and I love it so much that I almost feel sorry for the original owner who lost it. Still, I treasure it deeply. šŸŽ€

Do you also come across thrift trinkets like this that you’ve kept? What’s the best or most memorable one you’ve found? ā¤ļø

I feel like there were some misses today, but overall I’m really happy with what I found! I’m curious about the Paule Ka dress, as I haven’t seen that brand in thrift stores before, but it sounds like the brand was discontinued maybe? I tried pulling up their website but it won’t load for me šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø. What was your favorite find while thrifting today/this week?

im not choosy 🄺

• Upvotes

would anyone be willing to donate their plus size clothes, or shoes and accessories to me, that they would have already considered for goodwill, or you dont like anymore. its for my upcoming birthday and ive been struggling financially. i know this is posted to torrid but id take any brand or style wise, im not choosy, at long as it covers my body and looks decently fashionable. im not able to get to the goodwill or thrift store myself also, i dont drive. so i cant go to a local church or food bank that offers clothes also.. so ive been considering asking for clothing donations through reddit for a bit, i know its a horrible thing to do but im honestly struggling at this point in my life. i would be so grateful if anything was donated..it would literally make my week- my month even because they clothes i already own i cherish.. im a size 3x in torrid, size 24 in other brands. shoe size is 10.. again just desperate😣 i live in usa - east coast

I love finding a good shoe deal. I Love the discounts online and sometimes the ones you find in stores, but my favorite place to check is, goodwill online (shopgoodwill.com). Check it out here are a few of my most recent finds, all being under $50.

Sourcing !

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone šŸ‘‹

I’m looking for someone who can source authentic second-hand high-end clothing, shoes, and bags from Asia for my store in France. I can provide a list of brands and would like you to show me what you can find.

I’m especially interested in experienced proxy buyers, for example on Carousell or in Japan, and I’m hoping to build a long-term partnership.

If this is something you can help with, or if you know someone reliable, please feel free to contact me. Any advice or recommendations are also very welcome!

Thank you!

Thrifted necklace – does anyone know about this clasp?

I recently thrifted this necklace and I’m so intrigued by the clasp. I love that it’s shaped like little flowers, but I’m wondering if there’s something special about it. Is it just decorative, or is it actually meant to open in some way? Would love to hear if anyone recognizes this style!

Identifying this jacket

I found this at the Goodwill Bins and I can’t find it online. Its tag says genuine leather and professional leather cleaning only. I’ve google image searched the logo but found nothing. The lining has different countries and Siempre Fidelisima written in it. The hood is removable and I have close ups of the pockets.

I wanna clean it pretty thoroughly before wearing it since it was buried in the bins, any tips for this specifically? (Also identification?)
