Thrifting ONLY high quality clothes at the thrift store - I didn't expect this to be that hard!

Thanks so much for watching!!
I really didn't expect this to be that difficult! Thrifting quality clothing is a challenge but I learned a bit more on where to focus my energy. If you can take branding out of the equation the sky is the limit!

Common Questions:

What do you do for a living - I resell clothing - vintage and modern. Mostly finding clothes from the bins and thrift stores. Things that have been tossed aside and are about to be sent to the landfill.

Where do you sell your clothes - eBay, Poshmark and in the past etsy. But currently most of my focus is on eBay.

I’ve long said my “super power” is spotting high quality clothing. And this is just one of many ‘skills’ I have that has zero money-making ability. I’m not a reseller (shipping, etc, freaks me out). On the topic of Eileen Fisher, I found a 100% silk dress in perfect condition at a thrift store for $1.50!!! Fortunately, it was in my size, so I snapped it up 😊

Among the reasons I love Vintage is the quality of construction. Many items were cut on the bias with French seams and attention to detail that is hard to find in contemporary clothing.

I bought an Eileen Fisher Italian linen dress second hand probably twenty years ago. It can go from the beach to the opera. Simple bias design in grey and pewter threads….the perfect vacation piece. Can be worn year round….it has made the cut for so many years. Bias cut allows for fluctuation of the body. I have gone from 4 to 14 and that dress still fits.

My mother was the daughter of a tailor. The quality details she said to look for can only truly be found in a. Vintage or b. Very expensive couture.
Bound button holes, linings, finished seams, quality buttons etc. I have a few vintage coats that have bound button holes.

I'm thrilled to see your focus on quality clothing. I'm much older than you (age 62) so I grew up with quality clothing...natural fabrics, design details, high level construction. I only started reselling in mid-2020 and have curated nearly 4000 items, some vintage and some newer brands but all top quality. And yes I have lots of Eileen Fisher! I refuse to buy or resell fast fashion.

I love my Eileen Fisher pieces, they’re always good quality. I am glad to learn that her workers own part of the company 😎

Your vibe is off the charts. Your eye for quality is impressive. I want to go into reselling in 2023 so I’m checking out the YouTube community and you’re one of the funnest resellers I’ve come across. #qualityclothing #takeadrink😉☺️

Your vid was randomly recommended and I’m so glad I watched! I appreciated the basic breakdown of what to look for. Also that J Crew blazer was amazing

[sandyfisbeck]

Thank you for explaining the different levels of quality.

Yess! I love this. I’m always surprised by the workwear-focused mall brands (banana, ann Taylor, etc). In my experience, they’re pretty dang nice! I’m super inspired to try this challenge soon 🎉🎉🎉

[katiechamberlin]

Currently searching resale apps for work clothes. This is super helpful! Thank you so much

This was great lol, I’m 40 now and I get it . I want quality over quantity….especially in my reselling business…..love Eileen, garnet hill and J.Jill to name a few that hold these standards….I’m letting go of fast fashion. It’s too sad how they are made 😢 great vid . ❤

[commontags]

Quality, Quality, Eileen!! Love good mall brand items! Great video, very informative!

[genac]

Your hair look absolutely fantastic. I love it!

I’m trying to be a lot more selective with what I’m picking up. It’s soooo hard to find the good quality items. But when you do it’s amazing! I’m such a sucker for vintage! Great video! There are definitely brands/fabrics I won’t pick up!

[atlantadeb]

Thanks for this informative, entertaining video! It's my first of yours and not sure how I happened on it, but I'm glad I did. I didn't take a drink after all those quality words, but I did Like, Comment and Subscribe as you suggested. So I'll be watching you!! 😎

For about a year I have been trying to thrift only (mostly😁) quality materials..it is harder, but so much more fun!! Especially when I find out how much they were originally sold for!😲😍

[electricmushyy]

J.crew is definitely surprising me lately, also Ralph Lauren 😊 btw you have a great sense of humor 😂 Got me with the yoke Haha
