I found a bag with a Gucci label at the thrift store – it’s 100% real but people say ‘bless your heart’ when they see it
AN avid thrifter shared her joy after discovering her purchase had a designer label.
The shopper showed off her fashion find online but Reddit users weren’t sold on the item’s worth.
In her post, Reddit user El-In-Hell gave readers a close-up look at the handbag.
She revealed she paid $8 for the light pink clutch purse with black buttons.
On the front of the bag, a small label showed the item was from Gucci.
She also provided a look inside the seemingly designer purchase, including pictures of the floral lining and the care label.
The Reddit user said she is “pretty sure it’s real” and shared her excitement at the idea.
“[I’m] kind of losing my mind at my luck,” the thrifter told her followers.
However, most social media users did not share her enthusiasm for the product.
Redditors shared their speculation on the handbag in the comments section.
“Bless your heart,” wrote one reader, who was not quite as blown away by the buy.
“It’s from a beauty buy-with-purchase giveaway, it’s not a purse. Sorry,” said another person.
“You’re losing your mind over a cosmetic bag that probably came with a perfume?” asked another Reddit user.
Others pointed out that the bag may not even be worth the $8 price tag.
“While authentic, [it’s] still worth less than you paid,” wrote one person.
“It’s not even made by Gucci, it’s made by the perfume company,” said another reader.
“Designers very rarely make their own cosmetic bags! The majority of ALL cosmetic bags are made in China!” commented one Reddit user.
MIXED REACTIONS
Some social media users took a more positive approach to the situation, suggesting various uses for the bag.
One person suggested that the poster use the item “for your tampons.”
“Would make a petty makeup bag,” wrote another reader.
“Real or not, worth a lot or not, it is adorable,” pointed out one Redditor.
“Regardless, nice find! I like the look, it’s not too flashy but still has a cool floral print on the inside,” commented another person.
