I went to 3 or 4 thrift stores today and did not find any high end items. I'm going to try another few stores because I've ALWAYS wanted a designer bag and I hopefully will be able to find one for really cheap :)
HOW DO YOU GET SCUFF MARKS OFF PATENT LEATHER? Sandy Reed, Windermere, FL First, try rubbing them with a microfiber cloth, terry towel, or gum eraser, whichever is handiest. For marks that are more resistant, dab with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol, then wipe with an absorbent cloth. For routine maintenance, use a damp cloth and mild soap and water. Buff with a smooth, soft cloth.
anything on leather you can get leather dye and dye the leather Parts like if you have trouble with the straps you can get a matching leather dye and dye it that try leather dye don't try paying or anything like that
I have a question , i asked Leslie also (thrifty southerner) I found a vintage Gucci Boston travel bag , the outside is brand new condition, not one scratch, mark or anything like the bag was never used , but like yours the inside is peeling. What did you do with your bags ? Did you fix them or just resell as-is ?? This bag I found online there was only 2 going for $1100-1200
steven king is have to see the bag to tell you what to do. I will fix the outside of mine and sell as is. It depends how much you have into it, how much you want to put in to it and how valuable is your time. I factor all that when I resell my bags.
i passed on one that was most like real at a consignment store for the same reason. they were asking $85 though. would have gladly paid that if i could have found the code but no way for a fake. went back the next day after doing research and it had sold.
Actually Bakelite comes in transparent colors as well. Those are the easier to find because many people overlook and never think of bakelite in transparent colors.
SecondHandJan You are right that it can come in translucent colors, but that isn't the same as transparent. Lucite is transparent, meaning clear. Bakelite is usually colored. If it's clear and being advertised as Bakelite, it's possible, even probable that it's not legit (because it's likely it should have discolored over the intervening decades, which is the norm for Bakelite).
Hi you can take to your jewelry and they can gold plate it. It may cost 10 dollars but not sure how much in your area Trust me its the only the way to do this. If you try to do yourself you can damage. Go to your nearest Jeweler and they will do it.
Would you consider selling me the Kate Spade sample purse (probably sold at one of the sample sales they have). If so, let me know what you would want for it. Thank you!
Aww come to the states and I’ll take you shopping! Her channel is Arikahbabess she does makeup and random stuff. She’s just starting out finding her RUclips legs lol. Thanks!!
Just my opinion (i've been selling authentic designer goods for 17 years), I would not repair the edges on the gucci bag yourself. Either sell as is or have a cobble/shoemaker fix it.
I can’t imagine going to the same thrift store twice a day. That’s a bit too hard core for me . I think someone could get a job and get paid a salary and work if a person has time to go shop the same stores twice a day to resell. Good luck to them tho.
I don’t think it’s crazy at all though. I mean some people do this for a full time job like myself. I make more doing this full time than most jobs in my field pay. Some resellers make 6 figures easily. It’s not easy it is still “work” it’s just not 9-5 at a desk. I love what I do and can make my own schedule. Doesn’t mean I don’t work hard but I love what I do. I guess people don’t realize how much money you can make reselling. I work part time some weeks , full time other. And I still make a comfortable income. Only difference is I have to save for my retirement instead of 401k. For a good reseller I’d say base is about 50k up to high 6 figures. Then there are the retirees that do it for fun or extra income. I started out doing this for extra money and was able to make it my career. To each their own I guess. My dream job was to shop and I’ve made it my career 💗
Heya sis new subbie here , I like your channel a lot ♡ I'm also planning to start a RUclips channel would you be interested in a swap ?

Gucci bags are real. The inside Gucci emblems was mostly used in the 80s
Liquid silver plating system, silverware kit,medallion brand. He said that it works best if you use more than one coat. Hope this helps
anything on leather you can get leather dye and dye the leather Parts like if you have trouble with the straps you can get a matching leather dye and dye it that try leather dye don't try paying or anything like that

Lucite is transparent. As far as I know, Bakelite is almost always opaque.
Actually Bakelite comes in transparent colors as well. Those are the easier to find because many people overlook and never think of bakelite in transparent colors.
SecondHandJan You are right that it can come in translucent colors, but that isn't the same as transparent. Lucite is transparent, meaning clear. Bakelite is usually colored. If it's clear and being advertised as Bakelite, it's possible, even probable that it's not legit (because it's likely it should have discolored over the intervening decades, which is the norm for Bakelite).
What state are you from? I would love to visit your state just for the bags.LOL. By the way, those Gucci bags are real.
New York 😁💖💖
Hi you can take to your jewelry and they can gold plate it. It may cost 10 dollars but not sure how much in your area Trust me its the only the way to do this. If you try to do yourself you can damage. Go to your nearest Jeweler and they will do it.
rocio hernandez thanks! I'm looking for just cheap costume jewelry to cover
Would you consider selling me the Kate Spade sample purse (probably sold at one of the sample sales they have). If so, let me know what you would want for it. Thank you!
Do You Live Around Florida

Does your daughter have a RUclips channel ??? Does she go thrifting too
KatiiePriceFan she does have a channel but she’s not a big thrifter .....yet!
Mrs.Shopsalot what’s her channel I’ll drop her a follow! I love thrifting!! I’m from the uk so not as great as your end I’m so jealous 😂😂
Aww come to the states and I’ll take you shopping! Her channel is Arikahbabess she does makeup and random stuff. She’s just starting out finding her RUclips legs lol. Thanks!!
Hi
Beware you can bring home head lice and bedbugs home from thrift stores.
So sorry real LVS are never made in china..Why would they mess with people who keep knocking off their goods..Wrong info
Hello😃. Love your videos! Check out itshadrian...he has bag rehab videos and kits😃 He is a thrifter as well.
Amie Signoret I love itshadrian!! He has the best goodwill!!
Just my opinion (i've been selling authentic designer goods for 17 years), I would not repair the edges on the gucci bag yourself. Either sell as is or have a cobble/shoemaker fix it.
Casa Chic I have another bag to bring to my cobbler so I'm gonna see what he says. Thanks!
