A MONEY-SAVVY shopper has revealed that they almost overlooked a designer item worth hundreds of dollars at their local thrift store. They left people jealous as they raved about their budget-friendly fashion purchase. The shopper took to Reddit’s Thrift Store Hauls forum to share a photo of a Versace scarf.
Posting under the name Maverick00007 , they revealed they bought the accessory from the Italian luxury brand for just $2. They confessed that they initially didn’t recognize the value of the item. “I actually had a friend who knew luxury goods with me and when I found it he was freaking out,” they said.
“We also found a bootleg Versace t-shirt right before we found it too lol.” “Just make sure to always check the scarfs!” they added. An almost identical silk neckerchief from Gianni Versace is currently listed for sale on the pre-loved site Vestiaire Collective for $495.
The black scarf has the brand’s signature gold baroque print and Medusa logos. Thousands of people upvoted the Redditor’s post and shared their amazement at the thrift store find. “Every time I go thrifting, this is what I'm looking for.
You are so lucky!!” one person said. “That’s incredible. It’s beautiful,” another commented.
“I am beyond jealous of your find,” a third chimed in. “Best find ever,” another added. Others were skeptical that the scarf was authentic because of the cheap price paid.
