I bought an Hermes Birkin bag from a coworker back in the late 1980's for $500. She was in a financial bind at the time and though I offered to lend her the money straight out she insisted I take the bag as collateral. I told her I would but with the stipulation that she could buy it back for the $500 . She never did. We both moved on to other jobs and the last I heard she moved out of the State. I still have the bag and it's still in beautiful condition.
Most of the West Coast GWs put their luxury goods up for online auction. In the 90's I found 2 legit Chanel suit Jackets for under $10 each--man those were the days, LOL.
Truth. In China's fake purse market, a real good fake of this purse run 1000-2000. A good fake as they called it "super fake" LV would run about 300-500$ depend on the style and the leather.The Neverful nowadays are almost undetectable.
I bought 3 pair of 7 For All Man Kind jeans at a good will in SFO, $3.00 a pair!!!! And 1 pair has TAGS! The other two were in equally good quality. When I wear them, I always feel like I stole em. Haha do you ever experience that? Putting on a nice item, knowing you paid so much less. ❤️😆
oh my I would of loved the fake herme. I go to a goodwill that sells for a dollar a pound for clothing and 29 cents for glass and other non clothing items. I've found real coach purses and so many vintage dooneys and Chanel purses that I bought for a dollar or two and ended up making a few hundred dollars. it's amazing I'm truly addicted.
+Bobby Garcia omg. That sounds amazing. Where do you go? The goodwill outlets by me charge more than double those prices. But I would have loved the fake birkin too, lol. But too expensive.
+itsHadrian I go to the goodwill outlet. we have goodwill stores with prices that are similar to the store in your video. but there is also this outlet with huge bins with clothing, glass, and household items all separated in bins.nso you have to dig and look through the bin, it's not like the regular store. I would assume maybe that's why it's so cheap because it's all thrown. it's like they literally take it from the donor and throw it in separate bins. they don't Even filter search the items. I've found all kinds of personal stuff and even cash. it's so much fun
+Bobby Garcia oh definitely. I frequent goodwill outlets all the time, but here the clothes are like $2.75 a lb and glass is 50 cents each. But I love them. They're sooooooooo much fun.
+Frances Carranza lol. So many fake bags at the thrift recently. It's so intense. And they price them so high it tricks people into thinking they may be real. Blah.
I work for goodwill and I found Anything truly authentic is swiped up and placed on their auction site. If it's in stores it was authenticated and proven fake, rejected, and sent back to the store. It's crazy tho cause we've seen real Birkins come thru. And all kinds of expensive things that shouldn't be tossed at goodwill. Rich people smh
+elm1230 oh yes, for sure. People donate the craziest things, lol. I've shopped on the auction site before too. It's pretty cool, but sometimes I find bidding a little stressful, lol. I've also bid a few times for things that got taken down because they ended up being counterfeits. How come stores still price the bags so intensely if they were proven fake?
because 9 times out of 10 someone will pay for it, some people would go to canal for there fake bags I prefer to use my favorite vendor and pay anywhere from 400-1000 for a counterfeit I appreciate the effort that is made to meticulously handcraft a bag but I do not agree with the practices of every designer.
It’s fake because it is machine stitching and no triple stitching on the handle... birkin used hand stitching which the stitching is not perfect like machine
I don't know what it is but I think that bag is somehow real the hermes birkin, I remember Charles from a video on TH-cam that he bought one on ebay for 300 or 500 and he actually thought that it was fake but it ended up being real and he was able to sell it to reseller /authenticated store for 5000
+Pritinica TM omg. Are you talking about Charles Gross? Because I love him. And I have seen that video and. The bag at the store looked good, but there were things about it that made me think it was definitely fake. The stitches looked machine done, the date stamp was crooked, and there was weird bubbling on the top of the bag. But who knows. If it was and I didn't buy it, it wasn't meant to be. At least I'll always have this footage to look back on, lol.
Yup im talking about him. Its nice to see other filipino you tuber, i have my channel but too shy to show my face. If you think it is fake then i guess it is.. Have a wonderful day!!!
how often do you go thrifting? do you go every week? I love watching your videos btw! I'm a thrift addict. Recently found an authentic Coach wallet for 99 cents. It's a little bit dirty, but I'm gonna try and clean it with leather conditioner. I got that idea from watching your videos 😊 lol.
+maria cb yay! Yeah! And if the conditioner itself isn't strong enough mix a little light detergent with water in a spray bottle and spray some on a cloth and put a dab of conditioner on it. And I go thrifting at least once or twice a week. Sometimes more 😊
Hadriannnnnnnnn!!!! Have you done a video on how to spot fake bags? You are so good at spotting them! And I love that you shop with your momma ❤️ (are you Filipino?) -m 😊
Hi Melissa! I haven't done a video nohow to spot fake bags yet... I'm hesitant on doing one just because there are SO many factors and even the best people can still be tricked, but I can definitely do one on what I primarily look for even before considering whether a bag is fake or not and some easy giveaways for a fake bag. I might even be able to film that tomorrow before I leave.
+itsHadrian omg that wouls be awsome i know how to spot coach bags that are fake but i have no idea how to spot other fake designer bags like the ones you find like findi n things like that
I'd love to hear your thought process on what you look for. I know there are so many factors and event the "AAA" bags are hard to tell but I would have never known to look at the stamping on the inside of that Birkin bag to know it was fake. And even with pieces like Stella McCartney and the more obscure brands that I'd never think would be duped... I'd be lost and probably out $200 with a fake bag. No bueno! So yes! When you have time, I'd love to hear your tips! :) XO!
Lol, you always have to. You have to assess it first to make sure it's squeal worthy. Like when I found that Chanel I think I jumped up and down and screamed in the store when my friend told me that it was authentic, lol.
+Alex Simmons (tha_flam_artist) lol true. It was really good. The leather was in point. The top of it was bubbling though, so that's what deterred me the most.
I love thrift shopping, just the other day I found a pair of jeans NYDJ that I actually bought at Macy's for $110.00 because they fit perfect anyways I found a pair for $9.99 and I bought them:)))
Omg! Isn't that the best? Last week mom and I were at the thrift store and found one of her favorite j.crew jackets for 9.99 and it was 50% off that day! So we got it, lol.
I LOVE THAT YOU POST EVERYDAY, ITS SO MUCH FUN FOLLOWING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY👩👩👦 HADRIAN, DO YOU SELL THE BAGS YOU BUY OR JUST KEEP THEM, I NEED TO SEE YOUR COLLECTION SOMETIME. NOT SURE YOU SAW IT BUT I E-MAILED YOU THE PICTURE OF THE HERON BIRD. THANKS❗️❗️
Hi Vanessa! I'm so glad you like hanging out with us! And I do keep some bags and sell a lot as well. I'm kind of all over the place with selling. I'm on almost all the phone apps for buying and selling things, i.e. - postmark, mercari, vinted, and depot (all my links are in the description box of every video) and I sell to consignment stores and I have some direct contacts that I contact as well if I find anything, lol, so there's a lot. I also have my own website, though I mostly sell the bows and headbands my mom and I make there, though one in a while I'll list some handbags and wallets up as well. I took most of my items down for the month I'm going to be on vacay though, but I still have some things up and have someone to take care of some of the items if they're purchased. And yes! Sorry, I didn't get a chance to email you back. I saw the painting when I was out. It's gorgeous! i think I could do something like that. Though I'm honestly not that talented in art, lol. I don't really know what to do. I haven't taken an art class in my life, I just experiment and do whatever works for me, but I can probably paint that. As for the collection video. I did film a thrifted handbag collection of the items in my personal collection. I should have that up sometime soon for all of you.
There's a store in my country where i saw a Ralph Lauren sweatshirt with still the tags on... it was originally $159 at Macy's but i saw it for $9.99!! WHAT. it's not a thrift shop tho. I didn't buy it because it was wayyyyy to big and it was ugly so... I would still buy it and re sell it if i had an online shop but i don't. Geat video! i wish they had an goodwill here!
I didn’t think thrift stores could resell fakes because it’s illegal? I’ve never seen any name brand bags at any of my thrift stores but could just be they get snagged up quickly.
That is right Hadrian, look through everything. that is the way I go through a thrift store, too. Especially at the Goodwill outlets. I found some nice jewelry in the clothes, but I realize you are in a Goodwill retail store, still sometimes they slip in putting good stuff in strange places. Maybe to hide it?
100% they hide stuff, lol. I've actually seen people hiding stuff, lol. I've found hidden stuff. I love finding hidden stuff, lol. I need to go to a goodwill outlet. I haven't been to one recently because they're a little further away from me, but I definitely will when I get back. I alway want to take you guys with me to other thrift stores that aren't just Goodwills and Saver's.
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! And I will definitely keep them coming :-) I'm leaving tomorrow for the Philippines, so stay tuned for those vlogs!
Thanks! Lol, ugh, I didn't go for the boots. If it was winter I probably would have gotten them, but yeah... Lol, I've only been buying things suitable for a tropical vacation as of late, lol. But thank you! Now I wish I bought them, lol. I should have looked at the footage while I was still there because they did look really cute.
OMG, lol, that's literally so sweet of you to say. I would DIE if that ever happened and I will definitely have to be filming so you can all see me die, resurrect, then die again, resurrect, then die again, and then die and scream and die, and the resurrect and then cry tears of joy for like ten years. I know that's dramatic, but I would seriously die, lol.
I love when you vlog with your family. You're a great son and you and your mom seem to have a great relationship. (My son is 26 and has his own apartment.) Great video. I would be clueless regarding authenticity of bags. Hugz
Awww, thank you! Lol, I'm always with my family, so they're in a lot of my vlogs. I just got my mom into thrifting, so she always tries to go with me as much as she can. Does your son live close by? I lived on my own for a while and it was okay, but I did miss being home, and then when my mom had to have a few surgeries and needed help at the house, I moved back in and been here since, lol. Plus mom's cooking is the best.
+itsHadrian there is nothing wrong with living at home. most boys/men are close with their mothers. researchers have said there is no stronger bond than a mother and son. and you are right you have to help your mom when she is sock. I have a single family member who did not help her mother when she got ill and her mother died. people at the funeral stopped talking to her. I live at home until I graduate. Long story...lol.
Mrs R Awww, thank you :-D Yeah, lol. I'm not worried about living at home again, lol. Honestly it's nice. Get to save money, eat moms delicious food, and it's common in Filipino families for the kids to stay at home until they get married or something, lol.
+itsHadrian He lives about 20 minutes away in a more urban area. I wish he lived with me. He moved out at 18 to go to college and has lived on his own ever since. I live in the suburbs in a beautiful neighborhood, but little did I know, before I moved there, they were all stepford wives...:-)
Awww, that's not too far away! That's about how far away I lived when I moved out. Hahaha, I feel like that's the kind of community I live in now, it's kind of fabulous and funny, lol.
+jas fer their items are a little overpriced, lol. And they don't guarantee authenticity or anything which makes those higher priced items a little difficult to buy for me. I normally don't go over $100 when I'm not too sure.
I use to work at the juice bar there! Now it's my brunch place lol. I hope to run into you one day and maybe have a crepe! I also hope to see more vlogs there my fav!
Thank you for sharing the whole trip it made me feel like I was right there with you guys,. The food looked delicious and I want the crepe cone. We don't have that in my town. Praying your Mom ok also.
Hi Patsy! First of all, you are so sweet! And she's completely fine, just her yearly checkup, so nothing crazy. She just likes to have a driver and her Dr. is by one of our favorite eating spots, so my brother and I made a point to go, lol. And I'm glad you felt like you were with us! That was what I was going for. I get mixed responses when I do thrifting videos that has some vlogging in it. I tried to keep it to a minimum though, lol. I'm toying with the idea of doing a blog channel for anyone that likes that too. I don't want to alienate people that just want to see thrifting, lol. I don't know what to do though. I'm just trying to find a happy medium at the moment. What are your thoughts?
+itsHadrian I love the blogs and cooking , thrifting , I like it all so whatever you do I will be watching . I am glad your Mom is doing well. Thank for the time you put into my day it always make me smile.
HI HADRIAN, THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION, DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT, YOU ARE VERY TALENTED❗️WHEN YOU RETURN FROM YOUR VACATION, IF WE COULD CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON THE PAINTING I WOULD BE HONERED, THANKS SO MUCH🌺 HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TRIP, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT LIVES IN CHICAGO, HE ALSO IS FILIPINO, HE LIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES 6 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. HAVE A GREAT TIME🌍
the Birkin was real though.. The leather, the stitching, the way the straps fell, most importantly, the logo stamp! I have this same bag, same color and hdw, mine is on togo, that one was Clemence leather I think
Hi Kelly! Lol, I love that you love going shopping with me! Lol, I love including little snippets from the day in the thrift videos. I find some people like it and some don't. I'm trying to find a happy medium or maybe make a separate vlog channel.
I really freaked out when you showed that Hermes. almost thought it was real but you know your thing so you were able to figure out that it was a fake. enjoyed very much this video.
Honestly from far away it looked really good, and even close up, but upon further inspection it wasn't. But it was very very good. The leather is usually a good giveaway. The fakes are usually made with a hard leather, but this one was pretty buttery soft. It's a higher end, more expensive, fake, but a fake nonetheless.
Ok I'm serious about coming down there an eating and shopping with u! Lol especially this yummy food! I want to come down for like a week. It would be so fun!!
I found a fake Hermes bag at a Goodwill in the San Fernando Valley. I was excited to find it and I automatically thought it was real because in the past I found a real Louis Vuitton sweater and a real Burberry scarf. So I assumed it was real. When I got home I was inspecting it, and my mom noticed that no label was inside of the bag I saw a tag that said made in China on the inside of the bag. Lol. I plan on exchanging it though.
Amber Dawn Lee because it's a luxe brand and Burkin bags are really hard to get. They don't sell them online on the Hermes website you have to go into store, but will only be granted one if you have a really good relationship with your store and your sales associate and have bought from them loads before.
Anna Howley Love, love, love my Goodwill Boutiques here in Austin, Texas. Coach and Vera Bradley are steals. I picked up a Coach that just needed a cleaning in the bone color for $39.99. The same purse, checked the serial numbers etc..., was selling for 160. Dooney and Bourkes all over the place- the vintage ones- that hold up with the weather leather. Happy Hunting everybody!
No wonder, I live in Omaha Nebraska, we have a couple of consignment shops, but they get silly stupid with prices.I did buy a louis Vuitton reidel for 7 bucks
+birdiebirk oh for sure. The leather on the bag was really good. But when I looked at the stamping it was slightly crooked and the hardware that goes through the toggle didn't connect (if that makes sense), there was also some bubbling on the top that would never happen to a real birkin (or so I've been told) and the leather lining was bubbling too, and the interior pockets felt really thin. I'm not an Hermés expert, it could have been real, but those were the things that made me think otherwise and I didn't want to spend $500 on a maybe. Plus authenticating would have taken forever and I wouldn't have been able to return or exchange it or resell at the price, so I had to let it go. Though it was gorgeously slouchy, if it was a fake it was a very very high quality replica.
Ah, I just wondered because I have seen both real and a very high quality fake and it always comes down to the leather. Most fakes have a very good leather like but its never slouchy. As far as the other things you mentioned,,,your probably wise to let it go. I have never seen bubbling! Thx for replying. Good luck with your hunting and I hope you come across a real one some day :))
There are replica use real leather for Chanel and Hermes maybe not the same leather but they are real leather. Many years ago, we visited Asia, one store secretly offered me real leather but not authentic Chanel and they weren't cheap either that was $300+. This Birkin looks very good though. Good decision on ItsHadrian. I don't believe any1 would donate real Birkin to Goodwill.
Right?! Though crazier things have happened, but the stitching was too straight like it was done by a machine and the bubbling on the top, and the crooked stamp. But yeah, it was a gorgeous bag though, but I had to walk away. If it was cheaper I would have taken a chance, but I think $500 is a little too much
+YOURSWEETMOM JM right? I hate when thrift stores do that. Albeit, the bag was a nice fake, but fake nonetheless. And awesome! Are you in the US or the PI? I'm currently in Daet at the moment.
I assure you it's fake. First of all Goodwill authenticates the real bags and resells them to make even more money. There's no way you found, of all bags, a real Hermes Birkin at Goodwill. Sorry, don't believe it!
Lol, exactly why I didn’t purchase. Though I have found many an authentic bags, so some do slip through! Just have to be vigilant. Also, this was years ago before they had the authenticating software the goodwill does use now, but even then, things still do slip through the cracks. Just gotta look everywhere! 💛💛💛
@@itsHadrian Yeah, you're right! Some will slip through as I have scored some mostly back in the day, But Hermes is on a whole other level and Goodwill is a lot more savvy now. Lol
So true. I did just thrift an Hermes tote bag. The markings are super subtle, so they probably didn’t notice. But it’s authentic and gorgeous! The video went up today 😊😊😊
+Bazzilgirl thank you! And I'll try! So sorry, sometimes I just get so excited. Hahahah. I need to control myself more. But thank you! I will definitely try to hold the camera more still ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Iris! I will definitely check out your vids! Yay for the OC! Lol, though I don't live in the OC.. though I feel like I do, lol. I live right next door.
I left a comment asking a question... Then after the video decided to check out the other comments! I kind of LOVE the comment section of this channel! I ended up deleting my question I left today, because someone in the comments answered it weeks go! Lol what a great little community! Like how you offered advice/feedback. It's neat to see comments that aren't just ugly words or a million "first" comments. 😂😊

I would of snatched that bag so quick how the hell that girl didn't know that's one of the most expensive bags in the world girl the bags are houses
It was fake!
OMG that's so ridiculous $500 for a fake Hermy? It looked good though and real good fake Hermes bags can run like $1000
birkins can run over $70,000
+Marsha Boyer I said a good fake can cost $1000 I know how much real Birkins cost thanks!
Truth. In China's fake purse market, a real good fake of this purse run 1000-2000. A good fake as they called it "super fake" LV would run about 300-500$ depend on the style and the leather.The Neverful nowadays are almost undetectable.

Now THIS is the type of thrifting video I like to see!!! When ppl are like, "look at what I found guys!" in their vlogs I'm usually like tf? 😕
+ArRiDaily lol, well, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊😊
It’s because majority of people does not understand art and its value
What point in the video do you see the bag?
Exactly! Lol!
It’s fake because it is machine stitching and no triple stitching on the handle... birkin used hand stitching which the stitching is not perfect like machine
That pink Dior wallet was authentic! Lifting up the edges of the leather on those is not always a way to verify authenticity. Lol
+comixdiscomix lol. I'm not that familiar with Dior. I just thought it was fake because I lifted the leather and it was pleather.
comixdiscomix
I don't know what it is but I think that bag is somehow real the hermes birkin, I remember Charles from a video on TH-cam that he bought one on ebay for 300 or 500 and he actually thought that it was fake but it ended up being real and he was able to sell it to reseller /authenticated store for 5000

Is that a goodwill or just a thrift store? Looks very fancy that TS. The Hermes Birkin is very well made knockoff. Many women won't be able to tell
Hi! It's a Goodwill, but it's a goodwill boutique, so it looks really fancy. And it was a really well made knockoff. the leather was superb.
Hadriannnnnnnnn!!!! Have you done a video on how to spot fake bags? You are so good at spotting them! And I love that you shop with your momma ❤️ (are you Filipino?) -m 😊

You played it so cool! I would not have been able to function!!!!
Lol, you always have to. You have to assess it first to make sure it's squeal worthy. Like when I found that Chanel I think I jumped up and down and screamed in the store when my friend told me that it was authentic, lol.
Fake or not, it was a beautiful leather bag! I would have grabbed it!
+Maria Elana it was gorgeous. And the leather was excellent.
+Kim Nicole For a good bag? It is worth it. Most pay more for crap.
But you can get a name-brand, quality bag for that same price? I'd rather have something real than a cheap knock off.
Bag Obeans Okkkk I would have gifted it, use it as a carry on or small weekender bag. 500 for a pretty good replica!!!
+Alex Simmons (tha_flam_artist) lol true. It was really good. The leather was in point. The top of it was bubbling though, so that's what deterred me the most.

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to email you back. I saw the painting when I was out. It's gorgeous! i think I could do something like that. Though I'm honestly not that talented in art, lol. I don't really know what to do. I haven't taken an art class in my life, I just experiment and do whatever works for me, but I can probably paint that. As for the collection video. I did film a thrifted handbag collection of the items in my personal collection. I should have that up sometime soon for all of you.
There's a store in my country where i saw a Ralph Lauren sweatshirt with still the tags on... it was originally $159 at Macy's but i saw it for $9.99!! WHAT. it's not a thrift shop tho. I didn't buy it because it was wayyyyy to big and it was ugly so... I would still buy it and re sell it if i had an online shop but i don't. Geat video! i wish they had an goodwill here!
+Karen Yuan that is an awesome price! Lol, sorry it was huge and ugly, but just keep looking! There's a deal around every corner ❤️❤️❤️
I had noo idea that Hermes bags ever end up in thrift shops
They don’t. LOL
I didn’t think thrift stores could resell fakes because it’s illegal? I’ve never seen any name brand bags at any of my thrift stores but could just be they get snagged up quickly.
That is right Hadrian, look through everything. that is the way I go through a thrift store, too. Especially at the Goodwill outlets. I found some nice jewelry in the clothes, but I realize you are in a Goodwill retail store, still sometimes they slip in putting good stuff in strange places. Maybe to hide it?
100% they hide stuff, lol. I've actually seen people hiding stuff, lol. I've found hidden stuff. I love finding hidden stuff, lol. I need to go to a goodwill outlet. I haven't been to one recently because they're a little further away from me, but I definitely will when I get back. I alway want to take you guys with me to other thrift stores that aren't just Goodwills and Saver's.
I so want to be with you on the shopping trips! Your vlogs bring me so much joy! Keep showing us your life! 😍❤️
Yay! I'm so glad you enjoy the videos! And I will definitely keep them coming :-) I'm leaving tomorrow for the Philippines, so stay tuned for those vlogs!
Was that lady working in the store annoyed that you always come into the store?
You have the absolute best thrift stores I've ever seen.
Lol, thanks! I wish I could take credit, but I'm just lucky.
Looking forward to the haul! The vintage tote was amazing & the black boots looked awesome on you! (Hoping to see those hauled.)
Thanks! Lol, ugh, I didn't go for the boots. If it was winter I probably would have gotten them, but yeah... Lol, I've only been buying things suitable for a tropical vacation as of late, lol. But thank you! Now I wish I bought them, lol. I should have looked at the footage while I was still there because they did look really cute.
This is a great video! Awesome thrift store! I will be in Anaheim in a few months and you gave me some great ideas for places to visit! :)
Thank you! And you must! They have some great stores there! Check out LA too. They have some amazing stuff.
One day you will find a real Hermes, keep looking and taking us along!
OMG, lol, that's literally so sweet of you to say. I would DIE if that ever happened and I will definitely have to be filming so you can all see me die, resurrect, then die again, resurrect, then die again, and then die and scream and die, and the resurrect and then cry tears of joy for like ten years. I know that's dramatic, but I would seriously die, lol.
You are funny!
+laura lee 💖💖💖
I love when you vlog with your family. You're a great son and you and your mom seem to have a great relationship. (My son is 26 and has his own apartment.) Great video. I would be clueless regarding authenticity of bags. Hugz
Awww, thank you! Lol, I'm always with my family, so they're in a lot of my vlogs. I just got my mom into thrifting, so she always tries to go with me as much as she can. Does your son live close by? I lived on my own for a while and it was okay, but I did miss being home, and then when my mom had to have a few surgeries and needed help at the house, I moved back in and been here since, lol. Plus mom's cooking is the best.
+itsHadrian there is nothing wrong with living at home. most boys/men are close with their mothers. researchers have said there is no stronger bond than a mother and son. and you are right you have to help your mom when she is sock. I have a single family member who did not help her mother when she got ill and her mother died. people at the funeral stopped talking to her. I live at home until I graduate. Long story...lol.
Mrs R Awww, thank you :-D Yeah, lol. I'm not worried about living at home again, lol. Honestly it's nice. Get to save money, eat moms delicious food, and it's common in Filipino families for the kids to stay at home until they get married or something, lol.
+itsHadrian He lives about 20 minutes away in a more urban area. I wish he lived with me. He moved out at 18 to go to college and has lived on his own ever since. I live in the suburbs in a beautiful neighborhood, but little did I know, before I moved there, they were all stepford wives...:-)
Awww, that's not too far away! That's about how far away I lived when I moved out. Hahaha, I feel like that's the kind of community I live in now, it's kind of fabulous and funny, lol.
I've seen that same knock off for 200 new. I think goodwill ripped you off! You can find them on hermessale.biz. It's fake birkin store.
+jas fer their items are a little overpriced, lol. And they don't guarantee authenticity or anything which makes those higher priced items a little difficult to buy for me. I normally don't go over $100 when I'm not too sure.
Found your channel! Loving the vlogs! I'm from Anaheim so the packing house is always my to go to place!
+D Mendoza omg!!! Hiii, thank you, and welcome to the family!!!! Lol, packing house is my FAVORITE!! I always go when I'm in the area 🍴❤️🍴❤️
I use to work at the juice bar there! Now it's my brunch place lol. I hope to run into you one day and maybe have a crepe! I also hope to see more vlogs there my fav!
+D Mendoza omg! No way! I've been to the juice bar! And maybe you will! I'm there at least once a week. Sometimes even 2-3!!! Lol
Did the goodwill offer u this in their vip room? 🤓
Ahahahahha. Yes! That counter is like the VIP room of that store 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I found Hermes Dogon Duo purse in the local secondhand shop in 2017. I bought it for Rs.300 INR i.e. 6.67USD.
Thank you for sharing the whole trip it made me feel like I was right there with you guys,. The food looked delicious and I want the crepe cone. We don't have that in my town. Praying your Mom ok also.
Hi Patsy! First of all, you are so sweet! And she's completely fine, just her yearly checkup, so nothing crazy. She just likes to have a driver and her Dr. is by one of our favorite eating spots, so my brother and I made a point to go, lol. And I'm glad you felt like you were with us! That was what I was going for. I get mixed responses when I do thrifting videos that has some vlogging in it. I tried to keep it to a minimum though, lol. I'm toying with the idea of doing a blog channel for anyone that likes that too. I don't want to alienate people that just want to see thrifting, lol. I don't know what to do though. I'm just trying to find a happy medium at the moment. What are your thoughts?
+itsHadrian I love the blogs and cooking , thrifting , I like it all so whatever you do I will be watching . I am glad your Mom is doing well. Thank for the time you put into my day it always make me smile.
n that crape!!!! gave me life lol
Where is this thrift store located?
Liliana Huerta it's called "Rare" by Goodwill, it's located in Anaheim, CA
Thank you.
HI HADRIAN, THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION, DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT, YOU ARE VERY TALENTED❗️WHEN YOU RETURN FROM YOUR VACATION, IF WE COULD CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION ON THE PAINTING I WOULD BE HONERED, THANKS SO MUCH🌺 HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TRIP, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT LIVES IN CHICAGO, HE ALSO IS FILIPINO, HE LIVES IN THE PHILIPPINES 6 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR. HAVE A GREAT TIME🌍
+vanessa Herron you're too sweet❤️❤️❤️ and most definitely!
the Birkin was real though.. The leather, the stitching, the way the straps fell, most importantly, the logo stamp! I have this same bag, same color and hdw, mine is on togo, that one was Clemence leather I think
Man, totally missed out then. 😭😭😭
I just found your channel...You are sweet to your mom
+Mj Deslate aww, thank you 😊 love mom. She's the best ❤️
that crepe fucking murdered me
OMG. I want one right now, lol.
It is totally illegal for them to be selling fake "designer" handbags.
They have a lot 🫠😅😬 they’re “cracking down” on them now, but you can still find them there. They just don’t price them like that anymore.
for 500 its a used leather garbage
Hello.. is hermes bag original?
I have no clue. Probably not, but anything is possible.
I love your channel! I liked and subbed 👍🏽
omg! Thank you! Welcome to the family :-) Glad to have you.
I always like going shopping with you.lol I can't wait to see the haul. I always get hungry after viewing your videos. I wonder why? (smile )
Hi Kelly! Lol, I love that you love going shopping with me! Lol, I love including little snippets from the day in the thrift videos. I find some people like it and some don't. I'm trying to find a happy medium or maybe make a separate vlog channel.
Either way just know that I will be right there. Lol. Keep them coming.
Kelly Molette Awww, that's so sweet of you to say :-) And I will!
I really freaked out when you showed that Hermes. almost thought it was real but you know your thing so you were able to figure out that it was a fake. enjoyed very much this video.
Honestly from far away it looked really good, and even close up, but upon further inspection it wasn't. But it was very very good. The leather is usually a good giveaway. The fakes are usually made with a hard leather, but this one was pretty buttery soft. It's a higher end, more expensive, fake, but a fake nonetheless.
Where is this thrift store?
Where in the us do you live? My goodwill aren't treasure chests like the ones you go to! Holy cow..
+Laura Itzkowitz hi! I live in Southern California right in between San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and Orange County. 😊
I'll never forget when I got my first pair of true religion jeans 😍. I thrifted them from Plato's Closet. They were brand new!❤️❤️
You live in Binghamton, NY!?!
SarahisNifty31 no, another part of ny, why?
Ok I'm serious about coming down there an eating and shopping with u! Lol especially this yummy food! I want to come down for like a week. It would be so fun!!
I found a fake Hermes bag at a Goodwill in the San Fernando Valley. I was excited to find it and I automatically thought it was real because in the past I found a real Louis Vuitton sweater and a real Burberry scarf. So I assumed it was real. When I got home I was inspecting it, and my mom noticed that no label was inside of the bag I saw a tag that said made in China on the inside of the bag. Lol. I plan on exchanging it though.
New subbie here! :) PS that's the prettiest thrift store i saw!
Hi TINA!! Welcome to the family! Lol, I can't take credit for how pretty the store is, but thank you nonetheless and thank you for watching!!! :-)
What thrift store were you visiting, love the chair
Are you in the United States?
What's a thrift store?
A thrift store is a second hand store when items are usually donated and then sold again.
omg. sabe na you're pinoy. confirmed when you're mom said "pero maganda". ugh we filipinos really love thrift stores.
If I had been there we would have fought for that bag and it would be mine right now. Just found you and I love you so I am subbing.
Awww, I love you too! Lol, that bag was too much. I kind of really wanted it even if it may or may not have been authentic.
Why is birkin so great?
Amber Dawn Lee because it's a luxe brand and Burkin bags are really hard to get. They don't sell them online on the Hermes website you have to go into store, but will only be granted one if you have a really good relationship with your store and your sales associate and have bought from them loads before.
All I could hear was you breathing into the camera... 😑😤😡 Quite annoying.
Justin Akioka muted
Where is the location of the resturants where you went ?
What state is this Good Will located in? Interesting!
Love ur shopping vlogs even if u don't find anything! 💙
WHERE IS THIS THRIFT STORE AT
It's a goodwill boutique in orange county.
Anna Howley it's called "Rare" it's located in Anaheim, CA
Anna Howley Love, love, love my Goodwill Boutiques here in Austin, Texas. Coach and Vera Bradley are steals. I picked up a Coach that just needed a cleaning in the bone color for $39.99. The same purse, checked the serial numbers etc..., was selling for 160. Dooney and Bourkes all over the place- the vintage ones- that hold up with the weather leather. Happy Hunting everybody!
Anna Howley OOPHS, I meant 160.00 on EBay, etc...
Where are you shopping that there are that many bags
This is at a goodwill boutique in Orange County, CA.
No wonder, I live in Omaha Nebraska, we have a couple of consignment shops, but they get silly stupid with prices.I did buy a louis Vuitton reidel for 7 bucks
where is this located ?
In southern california in anaheim. It's a goodwill boutique.
What goodwill is this located at?
It's in an anaheim goodwill boutique in So Cal.
+itsHadrian thanks! I've been to the one in Sacramento, CA! Although, never see this amount of bags in there!
I don't think I've seen this amount of bags anywhere before this.
What made you think that Birkin was not real? Most fakes are Never that slouchy.
+birdiebirk oh for sure. The leather on the bag was really good. But when I looked at the stamping it was slightly crooked and the hardware that goes through the toggle didn't connect (if that makes sense), there was also some bubbling on the top that would never happen to a real birkin (or so I've been told) and the leather lining was bubbling too, and the interior pockets felt really thin. I'm not an Hermés expert, it could have been real, but those were the things that made me think otherwise and I didn't want to spend $500 on a maybe. Plus authenticating would have taken forever and I wouldn't have been able to return or exchange it or resell at the price, so I had to let it go. Though it was gorgeously slouchy, if it was a fake it was a very very high quality replica.
Ah, I just wondered because I have seen both real and a very high quality fake and it always comes down to the leather. Most fakes have a very good leather like but its never slouchy. As far as the other things you mentioned,,,your probably wise to let it go. I have never seen bubbling! Thx for replying. Good luck with your hunting and I hope you come across a real one some day :))
There are replica use real leather for Chanel and Hermes maybe not the same leather but they are real leather. Many years ago, we visited Asia, one store secretly offered me real leather but not authentic Chanel and they weren't cheap either that was $300+. This Birkin looks very good though. Good decision on ItsHadrian. I don't believe any1 would donate real Birkin to Goodwill.
I'm sincerely sorry if my actions offended you. I didn't mean to do anything that might have made you upset or unhappy.
Right?! Though crazier things have happened, but the stitching was too straight like it was done by a machine and the bubbling on the top, and the crooked stamp. But yeah, it was a gorgeous bag though, but I had to walk away. If it was cheaper I would have taken a chance, but I think $500 is a little too much
How many calories do you consume per day?
+DW Jackson right now I'm on a 1200-1300 calorie diet.
Was the Hermès authentic?
Its fake
oh its fake that is quite expensive for a fake bag. pinoy here
+YOURSWEETMOM JM right? I hate when thrift stores do that. Albeit, the bag was a nice fake, but fake nonetheless. And awesome! Are you in the US or the PI? I'm currently in Daet at the moment.
I want to shop with you . You seem to know your stuff
yeah! Come with me! Lol, the more the merrier. I want to do like a periscope or a live feed when I go out one day. That would be so fun.
What store is this??
+Khloe Kardashian420 it's a goodwill boutique store 😊
Where is this thrift store!!! OMG good stuff even if fakes!
sense thrifting has become a trend you can't find any real designers for cheap.
Who would give away a real birkin bag yea nobody but it’s a nice bag
Oh how I would love to be with you all thrifting in that store.😍
I wanna go shopping with you and Hermès omg gorgeous
I assure you it's fake. First of all Goodwill authenticates the real bags and resells them to make even more money. There's no way you found, of all bags, a real Hermes Birkin at Goodwill. Sorry, don't believe it!
Lol, exactly why I didn’t purchase. Though I have found many an authentic bags, so some do slip through! Just have to be vigilant. Also, this was years ago before they had the authenticating software the goodwill does use now, but even then, things still do slip through the cracks. Just gotta look everywhere! 💛💛💛
@@itsHadrian Yeah, you're right! Some will slip through as I have scored some mostly back in the day, But Hermes is on a whole other level and Goodwill is a lot more savvy now. Lol
So true. I did just thrift an Hermes tote bag. The markings are super subtle, so they probably didn’t notice. But it’s authentic and gorgeous! The video went up today 😊😊😊
What city is this??
It's in Anaheim, CA.
itsHadrian omg can you tell me what it's called? I live near anaheim. Lots.of cute shorts there
Kid Kittrell I just read another TH-cam in the comments and they said it's called Rare.
Goodwills are the bomb!!!!
+Cassie380 right? They're the best! Yo never know what you can find. Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
I love watching all the things yo find. But I get dizzy... Can you hold the camera more still :)
+Bazzilgirl thank you! And I'll try! So sorry, sometimes I just get so excited. Hahahah. I need to control myself more. But thank you! I will definitely try to hold the camera more still ❤️❤️❤️
Ayyyeeee fil-am youtuber!! 🤘🏻
Wow your really good that bag fooled me , the price was the tip of , but it was a good fake
them fries.....😍🐖
I love♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ your videos soooooo much!!!!!! I need to go shopping with you.
Saan to? 😭😞 ilike the birkin
It was in a goodwill store.
i used to live in the carneigie apartments right down the street!
Omg, no way! Did you go to CSUF?
i need to be at that thrift store!!!
Fellow Orange County kid? Definitely subbing! I make videos too if you're interested! =)
Hi Iris! I will definitely check out your vids! Yay for the OC! Lol, though I don't live in the OC.. though I feel like I do, lol. I live right next door.
Omg had no idea u were Filipino!! So am I. I hear your mom speaking Tagalog
+Noa Micaela yeah! Lol. No one ever thinks I'm Filipino, lol. But yup!! I was even born in Manila.
omg I almost had a heart attack when I saw this!!!!!!! I need your luck and I need that bag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+Zlata Kom lol, thank you!!!! Lol, it was gorgeous, right?
If it's authentic $500 for a hermes birkin is worth it
That is awesome!!!!!!!
These bags are ugly and plain at these ridiculous prices, ripping off the public!!
Loved that red Dooney i!
What's the purpose of these videos
+RnM LiveLaughLove to see the cool things you can find at thrift stores.
It's fake, machine stitched
I was thinking that too, they were too straight. Usually the stitching is also like a little more parallel looking instead of completely straight.
I left a comment asking a question... Then after the video decided to check out the other comments! I kind of LOVE the comment section of this channel! I ended up deleting my question I left today, because someone in the comments answered it weeks go! Lol what a great little community! Like how you offered advice/feedback. It's neat to see comments that aren't just ugly words or a million "first" comments. 😂😊
