Yes, Robert Graham is a BOLO and is especially known for wild prints and contrasting flip cuffs. Used to sell very fast for $50-100. Has gone down in the last year but is still worth picking up at the bins for sure! Thanks for another great video!
So - I JUST saw this response today (sorry!), but I found that little fact as I was doing research on the brand while listing...as SOON as I saw that they were the shirts that Cam wore, it clicked into place in my head - They were so familiar, and that's where I know them from! He's one of my favorite characters in any show ever!!
I found Judy blue flare jeans NWT at GW for $8. Sold in 2 days for $70 offer sent to me. They retail for around $80. Judy Blue only makes a certain amount of each style and sell out quickly so discontinued styles can sell for retail price.
Omg! The Brandy Melville doc... it gave me all of the icks. Reminded me of stories I was told by friends of mine who worked at A&F back in the day, but, somehow, more toxic.
Thank YOU so much for your valuable and educational content! Your excitement about pieces is infectious! Thank you for what you do! 🍵 I am also in so cal and never find Judy Blue anything at thrift stores but found three pairs of jeans at a garage sale and they sold in less than 3 weeks!
Oh INTERESTING! I'm excited to get it live! I've heard really good things about them! I need to start doing more yard sales in the area - there is NOTHING better than a crisp early Saturday morning cruising yard sales...
That Max Azria silk gown print might go with the keywords Greek or Grecian Revival or Museum print. The handkerchief drape on that bodice was everywhere in the '90s. I bet that silk feels wonderful.
GREAT call - I forgot to respond when I did it, but I definitely threw those keywords in - and you're absolutely right - it feels absolutely light-as-air. This is one of those pieces I'm so excited to rehome - it deserves to be worn!
Newbie to the bins and reselling. (Still trying to learn before I list things - almost ready to jump in!! ). Friend is coming over in a week or so to help me with eBay. I went to the bins sat and found Judy Blue jeans and a Knox Rose boho kimono in xl/xxl among other things. Would not have known that kimonos were so popular if I didn’t watch your channel. I always find a nice cashmere sweater!!! lol Question - I found 2-3 items from Umgee and the laundry tags say the color will bleed. That makes me nervous!!! Have you had any issues with Umgee?? Thanks!!
First and foremost, welcome to the game! The one thing I can tell you is that you will CONSTANTLY be learning. There's always more to learn about fabrics, designers, trends, etc. etc. etc. There's never a day I go thrifting and don't learn something new. The Kimonos are amazing, but for other Knox Rose pieces, make sure to source low - they won't resell all that high. Judy blue, though - killer find! Hmm - on the Umgee pieces, I'm assuming that means that it's a deep dye and may not be SUPER colorfast (like, have you ever worn brand new dark jeans and white shoes or socks? - that indigo will always rub off a little the first wear). What I'd do is, JUST IN CASE, wash them separately, and wash them on as cold a cycle as you can (I'd do that with most Umgee pieces anyway- most pieces I've found have been rayon or rayon blend, and rayon is SUPER prone to shrinkage - when you see rayon on a content label, think zero heat. While Tencel is similar, it's slightly less prone, but just to be safe, anything with a fiber like that, Wash cold and hang dry).
I can't recall which video you mentioned this, but sharing my closet by size has been a GAME CHANGER! Until now, a very small % of my sales have been bundles, and I've had three in the two weeks since switching up my sidekick! My lil store is thankful for the excellent advice! 💚Keep it coming!
YESSSSSSSSS! Over here doing a happy dance for you! SO glad it's working for you - I'm still on a bundle uptick as well - hope it's working for everyone who gave it a try!
Isn't it insane?! It's still on my dress form, and I can't stop staring at it! Can not WAIT to see my friend again so I can give it to her (and for the next event we go to so she can don it!)
Oh yes - a wash AND a steam for most - I still wash and steam everything I buy from online, just in case, but mostly because I'm super picky about how my clothing is prepped for wearing 🤣🤣
Hmm…I’ve never seen one from any of my dry cleaners…mine use the little paper tags, but maybe! I wonder if it’s more of a laundry service thing…that just hit me. Like, for folks who send out their everyday laundry to be washed, not just dry cleaning…that’d make sense….
Isn't it AMAZING?! I mean, miraculously it doesn't smell like smoke - and both you and I know exactly how many cigarettes or cigars were smoked while wearing that thing. 🤣🤣🤣 And for real - I STILL have it on the dress form. it's SO stunning!!!
Oooohhhh! I've never seen the jeans either! The stain on this one is proving a little difficult, so it's looking like it's going to remain a chore shirt, but man, oh man, is that fabric nice! I'll be channeling your luck for my next trip to the bins!!
the British Isles, we are known as Britons, we English are very patriotic and call ourselves TRUE BRITS (born here)...so that's where the name comes from
That is a Oscar night run way dress! It’s so amazing. Your bins and my bins are not the same. It’s amazing what those folks in LA donate and then in the bins, are you kidding me! I love watching your hauls, one of those items would be my big find of the month!
First of all - thank you SO much for the kind words! It's insane isn't it? I still can't stop staring at it! The crazy thing is - there are even better bins locations that are really close to big wealth centers - I need to get out to them more often, I really do.
I appreciate your videos and info. I’m wondering what your thoughts are about buying items for your store in a different season. Meaning you pick up some thing that is more classically let’s say a winter item in July. Do you buy all season items all throughout the year is my question.
First off - thank you so much for the kind words! So - I don't have much of a choice here in California, as we're SUPER heavy in summer clothes all the time, so I do source high-quality summer all year long, but in general (and in my case, this is more of a winter clothing thing than it is a summer clothing thing) If I see an unbelievable sweater in the middle of summer, I'm going to grab it, but in general, if it's more of a bread and butter piece, I'll leave it behind. For my personal situation, it's a storage issue. I just don't have the space to store a ton of bulky sweaters until winter, but i do know of plenty of people who source for all seasons, all year long, in both special pieces and bread-and-butter, and just store things until it's time to list as the seasons are changing. So - whether it's a good idea or not really depends on your own storage situation and tolerance for the clutter as they stack up through the off season.
I go to all of the locations in the LA area, and some on the outskirts (4 in the immediate area, and one in San Diego and one out in the desert)….and they’re all wonderful in their own ways!
The sticker on the Mink Pink dress...resellers like to tell people it is a dry cleaners tag. (they have no reason to put a permanent sticker on some's property)..it's not! I bought a final sale clearance item, and they put that on it Very strong adhesive used to mark clothing in a discrete, yet permanent way. I can see where that would benefit rent the runway too. You did score a lot of wonderful pieces this time, but seems to me that you usually do. Maybe not as stunning as that grand finale piece though.
Interesting! I've seen markers used to mark tags on final sale, and tags being cut out, but a permanent sticker is a new one, for sure - I can see it happening though! Another idea being thrown around is from laundry services - like, people who send out their laundry to be cleaned (regular laundry - not dry cleaning) - I can see that as well - I'd be pretty bummed if they were putting the stickers smack dab in the middle of the labels of my clothes though - at least put them on the back or more discretely along the edge... I am definitely fortunate with my local bins location - but this week was pretty amazing...and honestly, that gown..I swear the camera does not do it justice.
My dry cleaners puts these stickers on every piece. I’m sure not all do, but I just picked up a few things and each one had a barcode sticker like that one.
@@toriminiat2559 -Why would they deface someone else's property? That's a good way to get sued. Why would they need a permanent sticker on your clothes anyway??
Julia! You had an amazing haul. Thank you so much for sharing. I love your videos and how passionate you are with all these pieces. Can't wait for the next one. 😊
I'm so amazed with what you find, here in Australia I could go into 10 of our Op Shops and not find a thing. My next trip to America I will only be going to the Goodwill Bins.
That I have done when I last went to Los Angeles - spent way too much time in the store Marshalls. We now have T-J-Maxx store here in Australia, but I still prefer going to the States and shopping at Marshalls. Take care.

Thanks for the intel! I knew it had to be SOMETHING nice…it was just too well made to not be! I’ll be keeping my eyes out for SURE!
The costumers of the show "Modern Family" put the character of "Cam" in lots of Robert Graham shirts.
So - I JUST saw this response today (sorry!), but I found that little fact as I was doing research on the brand while listing...as SOON as I saw that they were the shirts that Cam wore, it clicked into place in my head - They were so familiar, and that's where I know them from!

@@JMSquaredVintage LOL -- great minds think alike! And yes, Cam nailed it, every time!

Ahhhhhh! Ok, so that makes a bit more sense! WOW, you sold them for close to retail! Now that’s what I call a good sale!
Omg! The Brandy Melville doc... it gave me all of the icks. Reminded me of stories I was told by friends of mine who worked at A&F back in the day, but, somehow, more toxic.
How that’s even possible…I can’t comprehend. I can’t WAIT to see that documentary…

So, so, so nice! I'm ALMOST tempted to splurge on a new one. almost....

Ooohhh - thank you so much for the info - Their stuff is gorgeous! Now I want literally EVERYTHING they make. 🤣🤣🤣
I know right? 😂 They have sample sales sometimes that are super affordable! Their linen every day sets are a *chefs kiss*
@@carmenschaff1752 Oh no. Sample sales?!?!?! I think my credit card just started sweating in my wallet... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Robert Graham are high end have sold a lot of them
Amazing! I THOUGHT it was unusually nice! Thanks so much!
Do you steam the clothes you get from the bins? I have to steam everything I buy from online
Oh yes - a wash AND a steam for most - I still wash and steam everything I buy from online, just in case, but mostly because I'm super picky about how my clothing is prepped for wearing 🤣🤣
I thought that tag was a dry cleaning tag.

My dry cleaners puts those stickers on the tag. I just double checked my last pick up to make sure!
That velour men’s leisure top is everything 😂 and the dress omg

Sold an AYR sweater and a pair of jeans- both from the bins. Both sold for 70-80 good brand. Took a month or so.
Oooohhhh! I've never seen the jeans either! The stain on this one is proving a little difficult, so it's looking like it's going to remain a chore shirt, but man, oh man, is that fabric nice! I'll be channeling your luck for my next trip to the bins!!

Judy blue is excellent brand. Don’t price it low you should get at least $40 on that.
I just found Marmot in the Bins last week!! It needs a bit of clean up, but worth saving!
Nice! Their stuff is made really, really well, too - excited for you!
You rock, Julia! What an amazing haul😍! Thanks for sharing🎉💕!

Question: do you have your Judy Blue side L jumpsuit listed?
Not yet! It’s literally in the wash as I type this and should be up within a few days. I’ll let you know when (via a reply here) when it’s live!
Hi! Which bin location do you go to? I would love to know ❤❤❤❤

You’d better leave room in your suitcase….! Or plan on buying a whole new one while you’re here!
I live in Michigan and never find name brands at my Godwill. We don’t have any Goidwill bins
