SHOPPING at Goodwill can be a bit of a gamble, but one fashion fan it the jackpot on her recent trip.
Grace Andrews wasn’t exacting much when she began trawling through the packed rails, but things started looking up when she began spotting some pricey brands.

From some stunning cargo pants, to a trendy mini skirt, the fashion fan quickly began to fill her cart with bargains.
Grace showed off “the best treasure” she managed to snap – a designer top for a seriously discounted price.
The 90s vintage Vivienne Tam sheer top
“I remember thinking this top looked and felt too nice to only be $7,” Grace explained in the TikTok clip.
And she was so right.
After a quick online search, she realised the garment can fetch $600 online.
“I swear I started shaking,” she said.
In a follow-up clip, Grace tried on the designer top, which fit her perfectly.
Despite it’s worth, Grace revealed she has no plans to resell it though and “can’t wait” to make the most of it in her closet.
Other shoppers were stunned by her amazing find and couldn’t believe how lucky she got.
“I never find anything at Goodwill,” one said
“Wow. Great haul,” another chimed in.
Meanwhile, other Goodwill fans shared some of the bargains they managed to snap up from the retailer.
“I found Roger Viver heels for $25,” one shopper commented on the clip.
Another hit the jackpot when they bagged a Jill Sander T-shirt, and someone else found a massively reduced designer blazer from Oscar De La Renta.
This isn’t the first time someone has been extremely lucky with their thrifting finds though, one shopper revealed they found the deal of the century at their local Goodwill.
They took to Reddit to explain how they got their hands on a vintage Hermes scarf.
“Nothing like a mint-condition Hermes scarf for 50 cents, amirite?” they wrote in the caption.
The silk vintage item was 34” x 34” and designed by Frenchman Francoise de la Perriere.
The nautical-themed accessory is retailing for $499.89 on the reseller site 1stDibs.
According to the site, it was probably designed in the 1960s.
After snagging it for only 50 cents, that is close to a 1,000% markdown.
“Wow, you were the Thrift Gods’ favorite today! Congratulations, it’s lovely,” another Redditor wrote.
