‘I made out like a bandit!’ thrifter boasts of huge haul from Value Village – the Prada shoes are the tip of the iceberg
A BARGAIN hunter stumbled upon a money-saving mountain of designer steals.
The thrifter was in for quite a surprise with the never-ending finds.
Redditor Heavilyrooted most likely needed an extra set of hands to carry her haul to the register.
“Scored all of these designer shoes at the thrift store today!” she said.
She shared a picture of all 19 pairs of shoes and boots.
“I made out like a bandit!” she said.
The Prada and Fendi shoes were just the tip of the thrifting iceberg.
She had also spotted Bruno Magli boots, three pairs of Dior shoes, two pairs of Ferragamo shoes, and another pair of boots from Sandro.
She even added a pair of shoes from Italian designer Valentino – times four.
It’s safe to say that she was going to look luxe for less – a lot less.
A pair of Valentino rock stud denim ankle-strap ballet flats sell for $950 at Neiman Marcus.
And more footwear finds kept coming from brands including Stuart Weitzman, Bottega Veneta, Escada, and Robert Clergie.
There was even a “bonus” vintage jacket from Yves Saint Laurent.
Another Redditor was curious about where she had snagged such bargains.
“Wow wow, you sure did! Some gorgeous finds here, the Fendi shoes are awesome! Was this a chain thrift store or local to you?” they asked.
“I feel like I never see this volume of cool stuff at once or each piece is a fortune,” they continued.
“Honestly, this was all found at one Value Village and the shoes were all the same size – I feel like someone was clearing out their wardrobe!” she replied.
Valuable thrifting finds revealed
Here are some of the best thrift store finds:
- Tiffany & Co. earrings that sold for $0.34 and are valued at $430

“The Fendi shoes are fabulous! Love the jacket too,” wrote another user.
She even divulged who else would get to enjoy some of her designer deals.
“I’ll definitely be sharing with my mom. That’s the beauty of wearing the same size shoes as each other!” she said.
Perhaps the best part was the price.
She explained how she paid less than $200 for all of those fashion finds.
“Shoes were mostly six to ten dollars, boots were $15 to $17, and the jacket was $8, if I recall correctly,” she said.
