What a wonderful video, I love charity shop shopping, as a lady aged 70plus who still loves to dress well and look well turned out. Shopping this way allows me to buy better quality clothing that would out of my budget new. The leather coat was a bargain. Beautiful jacket hope you bought it. It was a crime to leave it on the rail.

Thanks so much!! I can confirm..it came home with me! 😍

You're so right about feel: the fingers never lie! Many, many years ago, at a jumble sale scrum, i forced my hands through the crowd into the clothes pile, feeling around for something interesting, and touched what was unmistakably fine cashmere. Pulled out a brand new Pringle ladies jumper. Waved it at the volunteer stall helper and bought it for the princely sum of 10p. Still have it. My hands identified it before the crowds spotted it. So I'd advise anyone to visit high end shops and touch quality natural fabrics and materials, because cheap leather, silk wool and linen can often be poor quality versions which will neither look good nor last. Let your fingers get the feel of good fabrics - your brain will always retain this sensory info. Then go back to the charity shops. Good quality natural fabrics are very forgiving and last for years, usually in classic styles with decent workmanship, which also lasts for years. Win/win!

I'll also add that this goes for leather too. At a children's charity sale years ago, I spotted a few wallets and purses for sale, all for 30p each. Some were obviously plastic but one immediately jumped out, looking like fine grained leather. The first touch confirmed it so I picked it up to buy - was amazed to find it was a Gucci card wallet, with rolled gold corners. New. Still have that too. I actually gave more money for it as it was obviously worth more than the plastic wallets! I showed it delightedly to my mother in law who was one of the helpers, who said she'd laid them all out and thought they were all plastic! Interestingly, they'd correctly identified some poorer quality leather items as leather, I think because of the coarser grain. Educate your fingers whenever you can, ladies!

Love these videos. I only wish the charity shops where I live were as good quality and charges what your shops do.

I thought of you when I got an amazing Roman dress in the charity shop on Friday. It was very Princess of Wales style. And styling it up with other pre loved items, shoes, bag and jewellery it’s definitely the way to go, for an up and coming event I have. I’m so glad you got the jacket, it was most definitely you.

@themonicaway. 25 дней назад

I love this!!! Enjoy the event ♥️♥️

That’s certainly a charity shop that is excelling! Like I commented before on a previous video, I’ve been charity shopping for nearly 40 years! 😳. I’ve found endless quality items, home ware and clothing, like Laura Ashley, Stuart Weitzman, Dorma, John Lewis, Le Crueset, Gabor, the list goes on. I’ve been lucky in that I was doing charity shopping when few others were 😌.🧡💚

@janhorrox 20 дней назад

Lovely videos but charity shops where I live do not have the range of labels that you are finding. I am a serious crafter and source many fabrics from clothing which I cut up and reuse.

@thudeshreenaidoo3330 11 дней назад

Love your videos.. please kindly mention where the charity shop is? I am from South Africa and travel occasionally to the uk but also have friends and family who travel to the uk. I have a cousin who lives in Hackney stoke newington so it would help to know the location if we want to ask our traveling friends and family to pop into these stores. Thank you so much I love Tory Burch especially accessories and sandals but I am not crazy about that cropped jacket. Just my opinion.
