Oh man, the t-shirts I wish I'd held onto! And I still want to know what happened to my college-era leather jacket. When I first lived in Oregon there was a magical Value Village that in 2021 (still Covid times enough that people were rabidly cleaning shit out) was practically giving away nice bags. I once walked out with a beautiful blue leather Ferragamo bag for $7.99. I would regularly find bags by Frye, Minkoff, Everlane, Longchamp, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, etc. Then one day it just dried up and the prices got jacked up. No more magic.

Yeah I really miss the olden days of thrifting :(
