THRIFT WITH ME! I found a FERRAGAMO Bag for $50! | Mel in Melbourne

THRIFT WITH ME! I found a FERRAGAMO Bag for $50!
Hi guys! As you all know I love going vintage and thrift shopping. As promised, here is a vlog where my sister and I go hunting for treasures! I can't believe I found the bag I did and I love it... it's around 50-60 years old and in perfect condition. Although I love luxury, I really love mixing designer with vintage and thrift store finds. I hope you enjoy the vlog and try on! xx Mel
P.S This was filmed prior to our easing of mask restrictions. Currently in Melbourne, we are no longer required to wear masks in public (only in the airport & public transport). That is why in my LV vlog a few weeks ago no one was wearing masks as we have had zero cases local cases for the past 45 days.

Have you entered my LV mini pochette giveaway? 🎉 Enter here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJPacoavbNWgqq8 Hi my loves! A very different type of shopping vlog today but you guys requested I also vlog when I go vintage or thrift shopping! Although I love designer shopping, I absolutely love hunting for bargains as well! I often mix old and new together and you can find some really unique pieces! Let me know if you have any suggestions for these thrift vlogs eg spend more time on the bags etc Some of my favourite pieces from my closet are vintage/thrift store finds! I hope you enjoy! Xx Mel

[@debbiemontederamos8268]

Hi mel. Have i seen this vid before? It seems familiar.

[@brethrenastrologio5546]

@@debbiemontederamos8268 I think with her bestie.

[@hansenku9802]

One of my favourite content from your channel is when you do vintage shopping (or eBay hunting). I think it gives huge break from those mainstreams videos (unboxing, whats on my bag, ootd, or shopping vlog in designer boutiques). Do more of this kind of video Mel x

[@MelinMelbourne]

Thank you so much for your feedback Hansen. Well noted! I will definitely try do more vintage and thrift vlogs. Let me know if you have any suggestions for these type of vlogs too, always happy your suggestions xx

[@SamGiles]

"Little bit late. But that's ok, better late than never." The shade!! 😂

[@_juju_5]

REAL ... I’ve seen older designer bags with that white tag (can’t remember which brand) and the hallmark/printing on the tag itself looks clear and legit. Love how you styled that green top, the CD belt definitely elevates it.

[@kara6320]

This vlog was so cool! It really shows how grounded you are that despite having a closet full of Hermes, Chanel, LV etc you don't have your nose turned up on thrifitng or non-branded items good for you!

[@MelinMelbourne]

So happy you enjoyed it Kara! Thank you so much for your kind words, I absolutely love thrifting and I think it’s so much more fun mixing designer and thrifted finds! Xx

[@littlebean8856]

That jacket and lizard bag are such good finds. That jacket looks so expensive and looks fabulous on you. I love that lizard bag, but you have so many lovely bags, so it will be hard for it to win you over Hermes and other lovely bags in your closet.😊😊

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

I sooo love these types of videos... take up shopping with you or even just window shopping what’s new out there etc even if you not buying anything just have fun and take us with

[@MelinMelbourne]

I'm soooo glad to hear that sweetie. Sure will take you guys along as much as I can. I really want to visit this huge vintage warehouse next x

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

@@MelinMelbourne yes!!! I love seeing what ideas are out there even though I’m in Cape Town I love getting awesome tips and tricks. You don’t have to buy the entire store to educate us on what is out there etc... you can purchase one item you really like or more but it’s great fun so see lifestyle out there be it clothes shoes home decor etc

[@joyceedwards6112]

Thanks for this. A lot of us are having to watch the spending right now so this was fun because more people can do this. A good way to have a day out of the house. Thanks. 🙏

[@NurseT489]

Op shopping is my fav ❤

[@NicoleCraftsHeart]

This is the first video of yours that I actually enjoyed watching if I may say so. Thrifting and “hunting” for pieces is the joy I get out of shopping. I buy designer bags too but I never see moderate brands which are more affordable like $500 or less marketed on fashion channels. Bargain hunting is fun too.

[@clauaome25]

That lizard black bag is so pretty!!

[@jvc_0112]

this is what i long for with my sisters, go out and explore different thrift stores or shopping malls,fitting some clothes,of course with critics and opinion😁but its really nice bonding with SISTERS😍☺️

Hi Mel❤❤❤❤ I love your dress 💚 and nice seeing your sister ☺ how lovely to spend time and go shopping with your sister🤩 like your green jacket! You styled it so nicely with the belt🤩

Love the vintage lizard handbag! I'd like to know if it has a label inside or some kind of marking/identification. I bought mine 35 years ago in Buenos Aires and I still wear it and love it.

Yes it's really scary, there are some super super fakes out. Yes unfortunately I have been hearing that comment a lot hence why i haven't bought Chanel bags the past couple of years, I'd rather go pre-loved.
