Remember this white with leather trim coat I showed you a while back, which I picked up at my friendly neighbourhood thrift shop, Stretch Thrift, for $14.99?
I knew it was well made and I loved it so I bought it. And I didn't even ask the Google Gods what the label meant, for shame.
Well, I was doing a shopping column at Toronto's Shops at Don Mills the other day and met a very "on" sales associate in a shop who guessed the label of the coat without even looking at it: Mackage.
Savvy fashionista that she was, the gal was, of course, correct - and my eyeballs almost popped out when she told me these coats sell for $600-$700 new.
Yeeps.
That's the thing about the Grunge Queen: she may not be up on all the high-end designer labels and such, but in her little thrifting heart of hearts, she can call 'em when she sees em.
Happy thrifting! P.S. Can you tell I'm wearing the $2.99 wool mohair scarf I thrifted the other day on St. Clair Ave. West?
