Tip for strong smells like cigarette arm and hammer makes a baking soda puck it’s really small put it in a bag with your garments and the smell will go away and smell really nice they are really cheap usually I find 3 in a pack
Neighbour from the north here-I find lots of aritzia in the thrifts and bins but the dresses and pieces of substance are usually marked up. On marketplace you can get a puff for 100. Never found one in the thrift but did find a Canada Goose authentic jacket at value village for 20.00! Score
Oh wow! Fellow Canadian here. I got a men's north face. It was tagged 99.99 but I got my 30% discount. Right now in ontario feels like they are pricing them up. Was lucky one day got a north face down vest for 7.23. It was sept.
I’m in Ontario too. Thrift prices are getting crazy. I have a few honey holes but they are starting the creep too. Still no shortage of sourcing tho. Spendy for north face but a great buy for personal use for sure!
First of all, I have just recently discovered you and you are probably one of my new favorite resellers. I do have a question, I usually leave behind anything that is unbranded even though it’s a great style because I don’t know how to sell it if I can’t list it under a brand name. Any tips?
Well, first of all, welcome!! So - when you have something that's of great quality and great style, that's when keywords come into critical play.. I actually did a full video a few months ago just on my keywording method that might help you figure out how to list something like that... ua-cam.com/video/6B-DRGDZWxI/v-deo.html check it out if you've got a few minutes!!
I was just in California and stopped into Aritzia with my niece and had sticker shock. My niece informed me she used to shop there all the time but DONATED all her items because they didn’t fit her, the reseller in me was 😢😢😢
It's no joke expensive, right?! I mean, the quality is gorgeous, but it's the kind of stuff you hate paying up for... I hope you taught her our ways!!!
Don’t thrift much but see Aritzia a lot on marketplace. I bought a long super puff vest new this year $250 Canadian but we definitely get cost per wear up here ❤
Oh, that's AMAZING! Somewhere so deep in my memory, it felt familiar. Please pass on my gratitude to your dad for the confirmation! Let him know it's headed back to it's rightful home!
I sold a reversible vest made from those thick almost felt like cotton plaid blankets. One side more western. So interesting and cool and of course it sold on Depop!
You know - There's not any real pre-determined time. Some things that I'm not sure about, I'll have an exploding deadline with, but it's usually every few months I get the urge to do a little clear out of things that have been around too long, and generally it's a re-donation.
I found a Sunday Best zip up cable knit cardigan. Looked like it gad never been worn. It was 7. I posted it and it sold in 5 minutes. Such a find. Surprised it was marked so low
Definitely not an ochre - that's more of a brownish yellow (Strangely enough - in a former life, I made a product in ochre, and have spent an inordinate amount of time debating different shades of ochre in different kinds of materials) - this definitely has more of a green/yellow vs. a brown/yellow. Same family though, for sure!

Interesting!!! I will absolutely be giving those a try... I do hate the smell of vodka, so I'd LOVE an alternative! Thanks for the tip!

WOOOOAH! Now THAT is a score! Those things are next level warm!

@corinneknight6489 I'm going to try and sell it. I see comps for 200 but if it doesn't I think my sons getting a new winter coat.
Certain vintage pieces I just leave outside for a day or two and fresh cold air works wonders
YES! A little sunlight and fresh air is the absolute best!

I remember wearing long dusters in the 80s... we were so cool 😛 Trench coats of denim too..
We were cool then and still cool now!
A. I would kill for a vintage denim trench. B. Dusters were, are, and always will be cool!!

That's for dang sure! Up there, you can easily justify those Canadian Goose parkas! You spare no expense in warmth gear... Stay warm!!!
Def a Princeton sweater. My dad wore the exact one to the Princeton Harvard football game last fall. He’s Princeton alum I know that top well
*also pretty sure it’s from the 70s so he says bc I had to call him at work and ask

Ohhhhh - that sounds AMAZING (and 1,000% like something that would move well on Depop). Anything western is a pick-up for me!
Love it
Was wondering how long you hold on to unsold inventory and if you clear it out do you re-donate?

YES! Now that's exciting!!! Sunday best is the least common brand I find from Aritzia, and it does FLY out of the closet when I do find it!
6:30 - do you think that yellow might be characterized as ochre?
Definitely not an ochre - that's more of a brownish yellow (Strangely enough - in a former life, I made a product in ochre, and have spent an inordinate amount of time debating different shades of ochre in different kinds of materials) - this definitely has more of a green/yellow vs. a brown/yellow.

Every time you shop at the bins you pay 1.00 per item?
All of my bins locations have different pricing structures (most are by weight), but I do frequent one that is $1 per item.
