Have you entered my LV mini pochette giveaway? 🎉 Enter here:ua-cam.com/video/RbwASy7pmtM/v-deo.html Hi my loves! A very different type of shopping vlog today but you guys requested I also vlog when I go vintage or thrift shopping! Although I love designer shopping, I absolutely love hunting for bargains as well! I often mix old and new together and you can find some really unique pieces! Let me know if you have any suggestions for these thrift vlogs eg spend more time on the bags etc Some of my favourite pieces from my closet are vintage/thrift store finds! I hope you enjoy! Xx Mel
One of my favourite content from your channel is when you do vintage shopping (or eBay hunting). I think it gives huge break from those mainstreams videos (unboxing, whats on my bag, ootd, or shopping vlog in designer boutiques). Do more of this kind of video Mel x
Thank you so much for your feedback Hansen. Well noted! I will definitely try do more vintage and thrift vlogs. Let me know if you have any suggestions for these type of vlogs too, always happy your suggestions xx
This vlog was so cool! It really shows how grounded you are that despite having a closet full of Hermes, Chanel, LV etc you don't have your nose turned up on thrifitng or non-branded items good for you!
So happy you enjoyed it Kara! Thank you so much for your kind words, I absolutely love thrifting and I think it’s so much more fun mixing designer and thrifted finds! Xx
REAL ... I’ve seen older designer bags with that white tag (can’t remember which brand) and the hallmark/printing on the tag itself looks clear and legit. Love how you styled that green top, the CD belt definitely elevates it.
I have to say- I love your sisters dress and her bag! Also it was really nice to watch a vintage shopping video, it was a nice change from the usual luxury.
I sooo love these types of videos... take up shopping with you or even just window shopping what’s new out there etc even if you not buying anything just have fun and take us with
@@MelinMelbourne yes!!! I love seeing what ideas are out there even though I’m in Cape Town I love getting awesome tips and tricks. You don’t have to buy the entire store to educate us on what is out there etc... you can purchase one item you really like or more but it’s great fun so see lifestyle out there be it clothes shoes home decor etc
Thanks for this. A lot of us are having to watch the spending right now so this was fun because more people can do this. A good way to have a day out of the house. Thanks. 🙏
I've started going to thrift shops more thanks to your thrift shopping vlogs Mel. I love all the treasures you can find. I also find that you can even find good stuff in TK Maxx.
That jacket and lizard bag are such good finds. That jacket looks so expensive and looks fabulous on you. I love that lizard bag, but you have so many lovely bags, so it will be hard for it to win you over Hermes and other lovely bags in your closet.😊😊
Can’t believe you go to thrift store too! i do love thrift stores! cheaper price for very good clothes! What a bonding too! The bag doesn’t look like thrift to you! Your looks is soo expensive ❤️
I really like the green jacket Mel. Maybe you could have it tailored? Your complete outfit is gorgeous in fact, particularly tbe skirt. You are making me want to head to the charity shops for a day out with my 10 year old daughter but I have an essay ro write. I'll try and get it done by lunchtime so we can head out! Thanks for inspieinf us! You look beautiful. 😘
The Ferragamo is original.✌🏻 I am quite an expert in authentication and I can tell you with high certainty that it is original, even if to be sure you must always see an article personally. 😊
OMG! I love love love love your shop along videos... N u look stunning in the green jacket assemble with the lizard bag, diorish skirt... Love love love the classy looks.. and maybe u can bring us to local art or antiques market or farmers market.. u never know u might found amazing accessories pieces.. tq Mel for the awesome vlog today! Love ya!♥️
Wow what a find in that lizard bag. Such a 'Mel' bag. Suits you so well. Love the jacket too. You make me want to go Thrift shopping again. I haven't been for so long. Much love. Jenni from Adelaide. XX
Love Thrifting so much. I believe the FERRAGAMO Bag was real. Love the look of your jacket to bits. I'm thinking I should revisit my vintage dark Tan skinned bag similar to yours again. Enjoy your finds.🌼🏵🌼
I was surprised you also go to the thrift store even though you can afford buying luxury bags and loves traveling abroad. You are one in a million a real person. Love love your blog. God bless 😊I’m Lizzie from Montana USA 🇺🇸
Love the vintage lizard handbag! I'd like to know if it has a label inside or some kind of marking/identification. I bought mine 35 years ago in Buenos Aires and I still wear it and love it. The Ferragamo bag needs to be researched for authenticity in my opinion, but looks good. Great video Mel, thanks for taking us thrift shopping with you!
This is the first video of yours that I actually enjoyed watching if I may say so. Thrifting and “hunting” for pieces is the joy I get out of shopping. I buy designer bags too but I never see moderate brands which are more affordable like $500 or less marketed on fashion channels. Bargain hunting is fun too.
I was just watching a video where the blogger was commenting that the quality of actual Chanel bags was going down, despite a price increase. Some fakes are beginning to look better than real bags these days. I think the Ferragamo bag looks great.
Yes it's really scary, there are some super super fakes out. Yes unfortunately I have been hearing that comment a lot hence why i haven't bought Chanel bags the past couple of years, I'd rather go pre-loved.
@@MelinMelbourne I never considered Ferragamo bags, I have always kept an eye on their shoes. After this vid, I looked at their website. They have so many great bag designs!
Hi mel, I’ve been really interested to go thrift shopping and yet to find time to look for one that I can score nice items. Can you share which are the thrift stores that you usually shop at? Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I never knew there were that many thrift shops in Melbourne. I have to check it out for myself once we can all start to travel. And I love your earrings, Mel. Where did you get them from? Maybe it's time for a video on your accessories :)
I like them but I haven't found one I love yet. The new Serpenti bags are definitely a bit different but I have yet to see them in real life. What do you think? xx
@@MelinMelbourne I got the serpenti one not long ago for my birthday and I love it , they are sooo cute! And I got a well bargain under £300 I couldn’t believe my eyes! Had it authenticated as I got it from eBay and it’s authentic!! Over the moon! In really good condition too 😘
I'm looking for a vintage Cartier bag, but I find very difficult buying second hand items. Can you make a video about what really worth to buy preloved? Just like your "new" lizard bag, a classic bag.
Mel, I love the way you say Adidas. It is so wrong and yet it sounds so right when you say it. You’re not the only one who mis-pronounces it. We do not have any Savers Stores in the US. We have a lot of salvation army thrift stores.
Hi Mel❤❤❤❤ I love your dress 💚 and nice seeing your sister ☺ how lovely to spend time and go shopping with your sister🤩 like your green jacket! You styled it so nicely with the belt🤩
Thank you so much my dear! Yes the green jacket was definitely a "you need to try on" piece. My sister had her doubts but then she said it looked way better on lol Yup sister time is always fun. xo
Oh yes I love thrifting! I've been going for over 20 years, just that I never showed it on my channel. But I plan to do more because I actually love it so much! I used to volunteer in one for a few years xx
@@MelinMelbourne Thats so nice 😊 We have plenty of them in Lebanon, I sometimes wish I can find a LV bag between the pile of bags 😂 but its very rare to find a treasure, im so glad your sister found that ferragamo bag and cant wait for the giveaway results 😍 I hope this time i can win 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Im also so grateful that you always answer my comments 😍🥰❤️ thats so nice of you ❤️😍 Love from Beirut
this is what i long for with my sisters, go out and explore different thrift stores or shopping malls,fitting some clothes,of course with critics and opinion😁but its really nice bonding with SISTERS😍☺️
Agree that the GOAT tag is quite out of place.....and.... the stitching of the serial number tag is a tiny-weeny-not-too-straight at the end (I might be too OCD :-)) well it could be because it is a vintage piece..but if it’s genuine leather and after some leather cleaning, it would still be a decent buy for $50 :) and it’s pre-loved!
I love the lizard bag. It’s so elegant and different. I would have pounced on the leather skirt and chopped it up to make something more stylish. I am totally incapable of walking past an op shop. They are fantastic.
It was in perfect condition for like a 50 year old bag! I went to the one in Ringwood, I haven't been there in years though but it's very near savers so worth checking out! :)
I quite like savers especially that one in ringwood :) I have donated many things over the years specifically to them as they partner with diabetes aust as now have type 1

GOAT is a online consignment shop, the SF bag is authenticated by them. They’re legit! Also savers/ value village are all over the US

It’s so pleasant to watch your UA-cam videos
Thank you so much lovely xo
Hi , what do you think about the Bvlgari bags?
I like them but I haven't found one I love yet. The new Serpenti bags are definitely a bit different but I have yet to see them in real life. What do you think? xx

I like the jacket and lizard bag a lot. I would definitely invest in the tailoring of the jacket. 😘
I love this vlog! Please do more of your thrift shop vlogs, it’s also such a treat to be a part of your shopping during lockdown 😄 x
Will do lovely. Will try take to to this vintage warehouse I've been meaning to try out too x

@@MelinMelbourne yes!! Always pleasantly surprised 😍
Hihi Mel.. The Ferragamo looks pretty real!
Yeah apart from that one composition tag, the rest looked pretty good to me too! My sister was almost going to get it...it's ok next time :)
Agree that the GOAT tag is quite out of place.....and.... the stitching of the serial number tag is a tiny-weeny-not-too-straight at the end (I might be too OCD :-)) well it could be because it is a vintage piece..but if it’s genuine leather and after some leather cleaning, it would still be a decent buy for $50 :) and it’s pre-loved!
Nice buys:)

Mel which was the first shop you went to
Love love this🙏🏽💙💙💙💙
Yay! I love ur thrifting/shopping videos🥰
Yay! Thank you! I will definitely do more, it's so fun going bargain hunting!
I love the lizard bag. It’s so elegant and different. I would have pounced on the leather skirt and chopped it up to make something more stylish. I am totally incapable of walking past an op shop. They are fantastic.
I loved that leather skirt with pockets with the right top.
Been waiting for this video 👍
Ps: M3ls Green jacket looks very sleek and elegant 😍
I’ve been looking for thrifting videos all night , this is going to be good
First time being this early lol I love thrifting videos!

@@MelinMelbourne Hi Mel, I don't even collect dishware, but I find that segment of your vlog to be interesting. The teacup sets were so beautiful.
Hi Mel, was the Lizard bag by H. Stevens Pty Ltd by any chance? I have a similar one, Lizard with kangaroo lining for $50 👏💕
Yes it is! Is yours in navy as well? 💕
@@MelinMelbourne No, mine is black but has the same gold hardware yours has. 💕
@@judeallan268 beautiful! We both scored! Can’t believe our bags are approx 50-60 years old! 😍
@@MelinMelbourne Amazing isn't it, and in such fabulous condition! ❤️
Can you do a video of like brands you recommend for plates, tea cups etc for afternoon tea?
I don't really base it on brands more on the aesthetics but yes I can definitely mention brands and designs I prefer xx
I love your lizard bag... Love u Mel
Which Vinnies did you go to Mel? Loving the Lizards bag!
It was in perfect condition for like a 50 year old bag! I went to the one in Ringwood, I haven't been there in years though but it's very near savers so worth checking out! :)
I love thrifting!
Op shopping is my fav ❤
Really love this content! Please show more.
So glad you love it my dear, I plan to visit a huge preloved warehouse next time xx
Love bargain hunting, Mel! Xx
Hi my dear, yup it's so much fun and even better when you can shop with your sister too xx
Lizard bag is so nice 👍 🌸💖💝
I enjoyed this video! Thanks!
With that white tag 🏷 I don’t think that’s real.
Love your green jacket. You made it very stylish 👍
Missed shopping with my sister! Huhu! We're still in quarantine.. ☹️
Stay safe my dear, hope your quarantine ends soon xx
Thanks 💗 @@MelinMelbourne
I quite like savers especially that one in ringwood :) I have donated many things over the years specifically to them as they partner with diabetes aust as now have type 1
Love the items ☺️
