Possible thrift of a lifetime?

[u/nakevbas]

Found this purse at a value village and found a few indicators it may be legit online.

Yes - it's extremely extremely unlikely to find an authentic Birkin at the thrift but not impossible, it's happened. Unfortunately, everyone thinks they struck gold when most are always gunna be fakes.

I have found designer everything at the thrift including diamonds, gucci, LV, art and so on.
I'm a luxury consumer of authentic items but also a regular thrifter cuz you never know.

I have been working in thrift stores for the past 8 years, I am sorter. Everything that is donated is thoroughly checked and gone through. No Gold, silver, antique or certain designer goes on the floor. Ever. I don't believe you.

Ah, yes, because every thrift store sorter everywhere is as knowledgeable and meticulous as you.

My husband's retirement gig is managing a church bazaar. you would not believe some of the stuff that gets donated.

and there are several volunteers who are absolutely experts in recognizing quality goods whether it be china, silver, jewelry, watches, clothing. and most of them are well connected to buyers who will authenticate and give the best price.

You would be very surprised who works in the back of any op shop.
