Ethical Plus Size Try On Haul

[@MrsQuam]

Please do a video showing us how you mend items you buy secondhand!!!! Please please please!

[@vintageortacky]

I’m not an expert, but I can certainly try!

[@Vixenvp]

I am loving this style of video your doing. It seems more personal

[@vintageortacky]

I’m so glad! It makes me really happy and they are way more fun to make

[@Vixenvp]

Cora Diane well , I’m here for it! It’s actually refreshing mixing it up. Also, adding the premier aspect to it..I’m digging it 👍🏼

[@happynaturalist1793]

Thumbs up for featuring ethically made clothing and thrifted finds!

[@mspatti]

Another thing that helps the smell of vintage leather, is saddle soap. Scrub that puppy and buff it dry, if it seems a little dull, use clear paste wax polish for shoes, and polish and buff. Inside, I use Downy wrinkle releaser plus. This lets you re-shape the interior(moisten and finger press into shape) and deodorize. like febreeze. If there is a Moldy component, you need to get a bottle of MoldControl. It kills any mold that might be there, smelling bad. I like vintage, because, even though I have the money, I can't find quality goods to purchase. The stores are filled with the outlet quality line of brandname goods, The first quality is in thrift shops or online sales platforms.

[@vintageortacky]

Everyone: upvote this and share your own tips! Someone in the live chat premiere said to use alcohol on the lining to remove smells :)

[@luna.37]

Wow, great info! With the Downy, do you mean it's a liquid that you use with moist fingers? I don't buy fabric softener, etc, normally, but I'm very curious about this. Thanks!

[@oaklandcement]

I really enjoyed this video. Very relaxing to just hear you talk about your finds, without having to push any brands in specific. The new direction has been great so far.

[@vintageortacky]

Whoo hoo! I wanted to mix it up, one thing I wanted to be sure to do was have a mixture of sponsorships to help pay for content like this, which is perhaps less commercially viable and “clickable” but also so important and fun for me to share! It’s been a real win-win :)

[@philaphobic]

I love it when you cone to us with pieces you aren't sure about (coat). It makes us feel like friends you want advice from. We get so much advice from you, so it is great seeing people giving you advice. Genuine content ❤👍

[@youfoundheidi]

There is a cleaner that you can find at most craft/fabric stores called Granny's. It will literally get any kind of stain out, even ones that have been set/dried or are eons old. It comes in a 2 or 3oz bottle, but lasts forever since you only need to put drops on the stain. It's gotten mustard out, oil stains, lipstick, and even baby accidents. It is a miracle product, and totally worth tracking down.

[@vintageortacky]

Ok, I’m going to challenge myself to find that this month!

[@thisguy9527]

Walmart sells it

[@grammardynamite9764]

It's "Grandma's" not Granny's. 😋

[@Gaptoothedredheadeds]

The designer of first bag is Aigner .It's pronounced (on-YAY). They were REALLY popular in the 80's. Love vintage/thrift buys!!

[@alice_rabbit8345]

Gaptoothredheadedsinger my husband used to work at the Aigner outlet, so I have a bunch of shoes and bags!!

[@Gaptoothedredheadeds]

@@alice_rabbit8345 ,they have very high quality stuff! My favorite shoes when I was 16 were from Aigner. They were quite expensive for '88 (at least for my babysitter budget) and they were so ugly and I loved them because they were so ugly. Ahhhh...memories of my chucky, olive loafers.

[@JLynnEchelon]

Is Ettiene Aigner still in business? My mom worked there in the mid 90s and I still have and use it.

[@marihawley]

I have a vintage bag of my grandmother's that is eel skin, it smells like her old house and I don't think anyone else would ever notice it but i love it.

[@vintageortacky]

Aw, that’s lovely.

[@chasitytaylor8858]

My grandmother used to wear Etienne Aigner loafers in a similar color to your handbag. Just seeing the hardware makes me nostalgic. 😊💜

[@Hollowtrees1]

Yes yes yes!!! More of this!!! Love the casual talking style of videos that a lot of ppl have gravitated away from for some reason and I LOVE the focus of this video! I’m a huge thrifter so it’s right up my alley! 💙

[@vintageortacky]

I like videos like this too. I started thinking about what I liked to watch :)

[@tinythingy4]

I love second hand stuff! Nowadays I buy as much as possible second hand, you find such cool things at such great prices!

[@megdavis9192]

Wow! Thrift queen! I'm obsessed. That tank is everything!

[@hyperbolicpants]

That Divine dress is absolutely... divine!

[@vintageortacky]

.... I see what you did there!

[@user-op7nn6lq4t]

Loved this video! It's so much fun to see what treasures you find in the thrift store!

[@Heather_isms]

Loved that you shared new to you item's: great finds! ♥️

[@ROyler-rs6nh]

That Artbag purse is ridiculously gorgeous, I'm so jealous of that find!

[@vintageortacky]

I am so excited about it!

[@rebeccamiller1830]

I remember selling a lot of Aigner in the early 1980's at Stix, Baer & Fuller in Kansas City. I had a beautiful pair of burgundy Aigner sling backs. Thanks for the memories! $15 is a great price for that quality bag.

[@biancabecker2355]

I love these cool finds you acquired. This video motivated me to go out and thrift as well. I bought some awesome things and best of all the proceeds go to local shelters, which encourages me to spend more. I think second hand shopping is so much fun because their are so many rare and vintage items out there. Their are so many benefits to shopping this way. Thanks for this video Cora. I'd like to see more like this :)

[@jolochner]

I love thrift shopping too. Found amazing high end designer bags for dirt cheap. Love it and I feel like a warrior! And also a beautiful dress that I saw a while ago but was not willing to pay the price. I skipped out of the store that day. Keep up the great videos girl, love you!

[@DJ-mu3ev]

Great video as usual. You scored on the handbags! 💖👜💖 I'm always up for a thrifting/vintage haul. It's like treasure hunting.

[@FrenchFries20131]

I love seeing these kinds of hauls with unique and vintage finds! Please do more!

[@vintageortacky]

Absolutely!!

[@rachelolivas4775]

Girl I love second hand shopping it's my favorite ❤️

[@connie8356]

I loved every minute. I’ve been going HAM on thrift clothing this month. Re-doing almost my entire wardrobe. I’d need a “small loan” to do that with a traditional retailer.

[@melodynicole87]

I LOVE the new direction you've gone with videos. 💜💜💜

[@patriciak826]

I adore your fashion hauls, Cora!!

[@mandles.]

that striped tank is EVERYTHING!!

[@vintageortacky]

I am so in love with it!

[@bunkertons]

Oh Cora, I LOVE the direction your channel is moving in! ❤

[@violetmartha916]

I just found your channel today!! I love vintage, I love handbags, I love second hand, I love your house, I love your style....and honey...... I love you!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@alice_rabbit8345]

All my clothes are second hand!! The only things I buy new are socks and panties.

[@vintageortacky]

Rock on!

[@meghanwhite335]

I love this video!! Great job supporting ethical clothing and ethical shopping! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@vintageortacky]

I’m very excited that you’re interested in this too!

[@stephanieburgess6719]

I LOVE the smell of a vintage store! I looked an older apartment (built in 1937) recently and it smelled vintage. I sadly didn't take the apartment, but I wish my life could smell like a vintage store all the time. 💗🖤💗

[@vintageortacky]

I love that smell of old metal and wood. that’s my faves smell

[@KimStogner1]

I have big time gotten into second hand shopping!! I love vintage bags because they’re not like what everyone else is carrying. I have had really good luck buying 2nd hand jeans too!! Love the black bag and Marc Jacobs bags you got!! What a steal!!

[@vintageortacky]

I love how it gets people to cultivate their own fashion sense!

[@Astroscheckups]

Thank you for making this video! I loved it and felt the authencity of your personality. You were not trying to sell to us and I appreciate that.....Reminded me of the good ol' YT days before brands and their PR teams got involved. 😘

[@cscmonkeefan]

I love this kind of video from you! I’ve been team thrift/secondhand for all of my life, and it’s great to see you sharing your love for it as well. Hopefully this will encourage others to branch out and try it out for themselves. Something that I tell people when they’re interested in my love for thrifting is that it’s basically a passion for me. To me, it’s so much more than just shopping when I thrift, especially for vintage. There’s a love there for each item that I buy, because those items each have their own unique history, and it’s interesting to try to imagine what that history is. I can’t really explain it without sounding crazy, but hopefully some may understand what I’m trying say. Lol. Great video, Cora!

[@vintageortacky]

Chica, I completely understand! I feel the same way!

[@caroleprisk98]

I enjoyed the video and seeing your finds. I buy lots second hand and enjoy the thrill of scoring something great for a reasonable price.

[@vintageortacky]

I love that even in a modest budget we can still enjoy fashion

[@Tiffthehuman]

What an absolutely charming video 😍. Unfortunately, I'm on my break at work but I wish I was at home with some tea and a cozy blanket. I love just listening to you and watching your passion for fashion flutter out. I love how genuine you are about practical spending and your love for vintage. It's all so comforting. Love your vids Cora! I'm a long time subscriber and it's heart warming to see how much you've blossomed. 😊

[@animalrescuegeek]

I love these kinds of videos. I use the Amway aerosol pre wash stain treatment spray. It works like no other. I am often able to remove stains even after they have been set in. It is worth a try. Great video

[@bethrocks]

Love this video! So many cute bags and pieces!

[@hayleyfoster7617]

I love this video, I've been thrift shopping for years and some of my fav pieces were thrift finds. I like to mix it in with new garments

[@victoriavasquez9962]

Omg I ❤the Marc Jacobs bag .. I've been shopping 2nd hand recently for myself and 2 boys and they ❤ it.

[@EverExpanding555]

Love this style of video, Girl! Go second hand!!!!!

[@angieh4076]

I just love your videos! I also really appreciate this new direction your going in. I also have grown up on second hand, however you have taught me a whole new world of second hand. I love it! Soup and practical magic....ah we should be friends...lol!

[@SG-ss3nr]

that precious little camera bag!! 😻 you have the most incredible aesthetic Miss Cora 😽

[@gangstermonkey25]

I have been subbed to this channel since high school (I’m now a married college graduate so it’s been awhile) but stopped watching a couple years ago (nothing against you, I just was no longer interested in makeup) but am so excited for the revamp you’ve been doing! It’s been so exciting to rediscover this channel and your content!

[@Stacerbell]

Also in love with that broom! 💜💜💜

[@plainbettyjane]

I love the content lately! I'd love to see a video on how to wear staple pieces in many different ways. I'm not a huge fashion person because I live in my work clothes, so alot of my clothes are basics and I need new ideas on styling them!

[@vintageortacky]

Great idea

[@mspatti]

OMG Yes!!!

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

Yes yes! All I wear are scrubs and gym clothes!

[@michellemalone1723]

That black bag is so rad!

[@thepamtasticlife]

I ADORE this kind of content! Keep up the fabulous work! ❤️

[@digimaui]

I'm trying to buy most things secondhand from now on. I work in retail and being surrounded by all that fast fashion and needless consumerism 5-6 days every week is killing me lol. Thanks for shining a light on this much needed (and I would argue, imperative) alternative!

[@vintageortacky]

Oy, it must be difficult to be surrounded by that! Stay strong!

[@virulence]

I’m dying for that Artbag 😭

[@crystalcrandon-schaffer4479]

Ugh... your hair makes me want bangs sooo bad! I love it, so beautiful!

[@danaallen2734]

Hi Cora Loved the Divine inspired dress, nice color on you too🙂. Love this video

[@Sstephville]

I've been a follower for like, 10 years? (I even won one of your giveaways years ago for sleek cosmetics) And I'm LOVING your new style/format/whatever. I honestly stopped watching you (and other make up channels) in recent years (but never unsubbed) because I couldn't and didn't want to keep up with all the 'new! new! new!' things constantly. Honestly, keep this up, I've watched all your new formatted vids and I'm always in anticipation of the next! I'm so happy to be watching someone who is talking about things that I have an interest in and can relate to as an (almost) 30 year old!

[@emilyhoang]

Cora, can you do some more lookbooks?! Or outfits of the week? I have a full wardrobe already and only buy a few special pieces each year, so I love seeing fashion videos that inspire me to do new things with what I already have.

[@vintageortacky]

Possibly! I haven’t done a LB in such a long time :)

[@ghoultiful]

@@vintageortacky A lookbook where you talk about how you match pieces you already have would be great. Like how to style a striped top differently or something like that.

[@JennysBookcart]

Love that you did a second hand haul video. I'm not into ordering clothes online like Poshmark or Threadup since I prefer trying on clothes before purchasing. I will however go into a Salvation Army and dig around there for clothes.

[@vintageortacky]

Heck yeah! I love it, it’s like a treasure hunt, and even if you don’t find anything, you still had a good time!

[@jinnyweaver]

I gladly watched the 4 minute Elder Scrolls Online ad before this video :p I looove these videos Cora. I'd think it'd be hard to make a conversational tone with a camera but you make it seem so natural.

[@emmathompson7706]

I love the background on the video, it's so sweet!

[@iamwindchakra]

Your hair looks fantastic in this video! ArtBag has done leather bags for 75 years from New York. They have clutches similar to yours for $415 currently, so that was a steal! I really like that 70s basket bag.

[@vintageortacky]

Thanks!! I need a haircut so bad :)

[@Prescilla24]

I would actually love to see a video of you doing all the mending you need to do!

[@GrandmotherWindsoftheEarth]

love your new videos Cora Diane. i have bought second hand most of my life and have had some great finds. xxx

[@rachelcorinne3131]

I love that you did this video! I always want to shop second hand but it is definitely hard doing it as a plus size person. I

[@vintageortacky]

It’s definitely more challenging to find plus-size clothes, but it can be done!

[@outtaspacegal8532]

Your purple hair looks incredible!!!

[@swtsarakc]

Love the thrift haul, so glad it wasn't a ThredUp haul, no offense. I love going to the thrift store and finding clothes super cheap. I also found a beautiful leather handbag made in Italy at an antique mall once, it was under $20 and still gorgeous and buttery soft.

[@87percentsure]

First of all: I always love your videos, second: I love buying second hand, especially when the closest second-hand shop is literally across the street from my home. Just the other week I went when everything was for 50 cents and I bought a dress and a few tops for less than 10 euros (I love this shop because there are a lot of new, unworn last season clothes from my favourite brands. I even snagged a dress that was originally 70 euros for 50 cents that I wanted a few months ago :D).

[@vintagekitten15]

Loved this haul.You got some really cute things.I love thift shopping.I found a really cute suede top with inside leopard print for a dollar something.I wanted to shop more but didn't have time.but now I know where to go.lol.Cool idea for the bag.

[@MikoSubaru]

Cora, would you be open to doing a video on how you do some quick, easy mending of your second hand items? And maybe discussing what's worth grabbing from the thrift store to mend at home, versus what might not be worth your time to try and fix?

[@megane.8397]

If you’re talking about your pink Kate spade from years ago (i think it was pink lol) omg I’m all over it 😂😂😂. Loved this video, loved that you’re spreading the word about shopping second hand 💛

[@amyhayward1287]

I’ve been following you since 2009 and I freaking adore this new content. I also tear up at your sign off. ❤️

[@StillSwirling]

I can't wear shoulder pads. I look like an NFL linebacker 😂 Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! Thanks as always for sharing this with us. I definitely want to go thrift shopping soon.

[@vintageortacky]

I’m obsessed with pointy ones but these rounded fellas have got to go!

[@lilyt5855]

fun! I love thrift store shopping, though I never seem to find cool things like you do! But the hunt is part of the fun. I really like the vlog type videos where you take us thrifting with you- dressing rooms try ons and such.

[@Frannyp4ck]

Love a good thrift haul!!

[@aikanae1]

I LUV that divine dress!!! I take leather goods to a local shoe repair shop. He tells me what they need; strap adjusted, cleans, resoles, tips, new straps, mending a rip. Super worth it. Extends the life like it's brand new again. The straw bag is prob full grain leather and repairable. The blue coat color is gorgeous. Consider removing those pads. Often they don't change the outline beyond an updated look. If you do want pads you can put in something smaller. I'd take it to a tailor because you'll prob like it even better with a closure adjustment. I'm a big fan of vintage. A good tailor might even find the fabric for a belt. Ya' never know what kind of magic they can do.

[@snopeasnopea]

omg the pink flamingos dress 😍😍😍

[@PeppermintEgo]

Love you clothes. I wish you would put links in the description!

[@cosmoochlo6333]

I loved this video!! Thanks for showing us play sized girls some love!! Can't wait to see more videos from you!!😍😊

[@jaxx8973]

Love this video, so much and love the Aussie site you mentioned, am going to have to do an order. I live in New Zealand, so nice to see something different this side of the world :).

[@kei-chwan]

Loved the style of this video Cora! :) OK, story-time. I find it funny, and pleasing at the same time, how it all changes. I have been thifting almost my whole life. When I was born, Poland got out of comunnism and new businesses where sprouting everywhere - thrift shops came along. Buying used, manufactured clothing was a phenomenon (because you almost couldn't buy anything during PRL), but unfortunately very quickly became a faux pas and was associated with low class, who don't have money for new shit. After '89, as I said before, we started to have normal boutiques and shops alongside thrift ones, and when I went to school at 7yo, wearing used clothes wasn't really... in fashion, let's say. Kids at school used to mock me and make fun of me for wearing used clothing. I gave in so I could "fit in" and somwehere between eleven or fifteen yo, I wanted my mom to buy me only new clothes. Then, I went to high school and re-discovered myself and my style has been changing a lot during that period of time, so I started buying second-hand again. Now, when I'm 30, I buy as much second-hand as I possibly can, and since sustainabilty is A THING now, more and more people buy second-hand and I am so happy about it, you wouldn't believe. :D You can say I'm an OG thrifter, been doing it before it was cool and all XD haha. But really, I am happy world changes for the better. And thrifting is SO MUCH FUN! Also, I'm cheap XD, so it's best way to enjoy "the search" for items combined with saving shit ton of money along the way. :) OK, yes, I'm done. XD love you!

[@GivethemElle]

I love vintage and secondhand stuff i love creating my own fast fashions from thrift finds. I want to start my own online store maybe . first thing i want to create is a pants and crop out of a mrs. Roper (three company's) inspired craftan

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

Omg, Dorothy's shoulder pads! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my mom loved the purses she carried and how roomy they were. I couldn't stand them...at the time. Lol she even called her bag the Zbornak!

[@vintageortacky]

Omg I know what you mean! I remember thinking my Aunt’s purses were TACKY AF and now my hobby is hunting g down similar ones! Hahaha

[@ggEmolicious]

Your hair is so pretty!

[@raccoonpriests]

Wow! I haven't been able to find any awesome vintage bags in area to thrift. I have to rely a lot on depop/poshmark. I love that basket bag so much.

[@vintageortacky]

I do too- local girls clean up before I get there!

[@eslin81]

Hi Lady Bug! Love this video ❤ I know this isnt a sales video. But where do you buy your 2nd hand plus size clothes online clothes. Or does anyone have any ideas? I only know of a few websites.

[@brendabaum6442]

Love this!! Lots of second hand themed videos are for ThreadUp. UGH!

[@krystledawn]

Love that relaxing intro. Ahhhhh. ✌🏼💜✨

[@Nikkipicky]

Awesome💕Love thrifting plus sizes. It's addicting

[@vintageortacky]

Very addicting

[@sammystone3694]

Hahaha! Unless you wanna get real awkward with it! I just LOVE you.

[@mrssgen]

I soooo love your new channel style 😍 Would love to hear where you found these amazing items - for future maybe you could list that information in the description for anyone who is wondering to be able to look but anyone who doesn’t want to can simply ignore? Also, any tips on shopping for vintage/ second hand bags and making sure they’re authentic? 💗

[@mandyj01]

I have a gray clutch that looks so much like the Agner bag. I love it. I remember that be "the brand" when my mom was in her 30's. Everybody's had their TIGHT Agner jeans too. My bag looks brand new. I need to use it more but with 3 boys I basically have to carry a duffle bag all the time..lol

[@vintageortacky]

Definitely find a time to use your fun bag! Challenge: find a time to use it in the next two weeks :)

[@cyndiisme4185]

The bag with the zipper on the bottom is my favorite kind of purse! I actually put small things or hide $ there 😘

[@thatexcalifornian6124]

The top is giving me Sloan from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off! I love it!

Gahhhhhh! I see it now, and love it even more!

Omg! Divine dress!

You’re so pretty, I could watch you talk forever!☺️❤️
