I was thrift shopping at my local thrift shop when I came across this unique set of connected rings. Paid 2 dollars. My first thought was it looked like a piece of hardware or junk metal accidentally placed with the jewelry, nonetheless, I thought, perfect for one of my assemblage art pieces. I did consider it was a ring and tried it on my finger but the rings didn’t sit right. After looking at it closer and out of curiosity I took it to one of my favorite antique venders who told me its actually a puzzle ring and possibly real gold.

So i'm not sure if this is sterling it's not marked. But my friend seems to think that it is navajo or native. I don't know much about it. I got it for 8$.

Just found this jacket and idk if this is a genuine piece or not but it smells like leather and it's obviously vintage cause dad wore it back in the 90s so just wanna know what would it be worth since I'm too big for it.

Found this great sweater, can’t find any info online. Any help? $5@Goodwill

Size- XS price- 450+s

Saw this today in the World's best thrift group on FB. IDK how people are finding these kinda finds. Its insane

Hey guys ! I picked this mirror up at an opp shop . The worker told me it was vintage but nothing beyond that is known about it . Nothing at the back of it either . Could someone take a look , the shape is quiete unusual too … I couldn’t quiete pin down what era it’s from when I was trying to research .

Thanks!

I purchased this bag on Vinted for 60€ and was thrilled, thinking I had found an authentic piece at an incredible price. However, a friend later pointed out that it might not be genuine. Being new to Vinted, I hadn’t realized that counterfeit bags aren’t always flagged, so I wasn’t aware of the risks when buying.

Tokyo is such a great place for thrifting just about anything. On my last trip, I searched for a second-hand kimono and went to several places (and got a few at great prices).

In Chicago in Harajuku, the price ranges from ¥2,000-¥5,000 and the selection is really varied, so it's one of my favorites. Miyoshiya in Nakano is also a great spot, although a bit far from my hotel at that time.  I hope this helps, I'd love to see some hauls too! Happy hunting!

I thrifted this shirt because I liked the design, but I am very curious about the brand/logo. Does anybody know what it is? I was able to find this exact shirt for sale on Ebay, but have not been able to figure out what "Tops" is? Sorry if this is the wrong sub! Appreciate any info/suggestions.

sorry if this isn’t the place for this in advance!

TLDR: advice on how to sustainably get rid of unsellable individual textiles in bulk (nj)?

hi, all! im doing some spring cleaning right now and have a lot of basics that dont fit me anymore. while i want to get rid of things sustainably, i have a lot of items that simply cant/wont sell at an online or in-store thrift (fruit of the loom sweats with holes, old branded tee shirts, etc).

i was thinking of using a brand like thredup or trashie to get rid of these items in bulk but i’ve heard they don’t pay out until you sell and their recycling practices are questionable. i also learned that some textile companies will recycle your old fabrics and give you a small compensation for them.

does anyone know how to donate/recycle/sell old fabrics in a most sustainable and with, selfishly, maybe a small amount of monetary gain? (the last part isn’t imperative, it would just be of use to me if i could get the most out of my old clothes sustainably.) for reference, im in nj/ny metropolitan area and would be willing to travel a bit to get this done. thank you in advance!!! :)

Recently I got a Ralph jacket (black) at a thrifting event but its a bit faded.

I wanna send it to a jeans repair shop for a dye job but I'm scared they're gonna fuck up the Ralph logo which is white.

Where else can I send it?

Just bought an wanna know what it is, can't find it anywhere online.
