Here are some of my favorite designer thrifty finds. Thrift stores can be great places to find authentic designer and name brand handbags. If you think thrift stores have nothing but junk, that's not true. I  find so many authentic designer bags in  thrift stores. To find the best , you need to take your time look through every piece , its like a hunt. I always look for bags in excellent condition, because repairs can be quite expensive for designer bags. Sometimes there are designer bags there that are not authentic, so be sure you know how to authenticate a particular bag. There are websites that provide information on how to authenticate designer handbags,from Juicy Couture, Coach, Louis Vuitton,etc.

 All of these lovely bags are available now at shop My Favorite Pieces.
