I want to be buried in the $55 bra I thrifted – I knew it was a gem but when I peeked inside I discovered its true value
A MONEY-SAVVY style enthusiast has left other people jealous after revealing the designer goods she found at a thrift store.
She raved about wanting to be buried in a bra designed by an Italian luxury fashion brand.
Melanie Moradi (@moradimanor) has garnered almost 19,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares a glimpse into her life.
She looked in good spirits as she revealed the items bought in a recent shopping haul.
“Thrifting in LA is over,” she said.
“I’m sorry to tell you but seriously I was born and raised in LA and after going thrifting in New York City I will never go thrifting in LA again.
“I went to this thrift store called the Beacon’s Closet in Brooklyn and I found the craziest things.”
Melanie said she found a pair of SSense pants originally priced at $625 for $60.
She bought a For Love & Lemons three-piece set for $50, despite the top on its own previously costing $167.
She decided not to go ahead with buying an Edie Parker tinsel bag as the thrift store was selling it for $85 and it’s $100 brand new.
The fashionista confessed that one item stood out to her among all others while browsing the shelves.
“This is the gem of what I found,” she said.
“This vintage Dolce and Gabbana cherry bra for $55.
“I am obsessed, I will be buried in this bra.
“I cannot begin to tell you how thrilled I am about this find.”
The same Dolce and Gabbana bra is available to buy on Depop for $140.
The brand took inspiration from the vintage design for their new collection of cherry-print satin bras, which cost $445.
Melanie also bought a beaded bag that didn’t have a brand label but was vintage.
She was amazed by the variety of brands affordably priced throughout the thrift store.
“They had really cool stuff like great condition Nike for only $22,” she said.
“They had a really cool Helmut Lang shirt which was too big on me but it was a steal because it was originally $200 and it was only $45.
“They had a Ganni dress and a gorgeous vintage little slip, it was so beautiful.
“I could not believe the finds.
“My girlfriend found this incredible LA bomber. It’s going for $100 right now everywhere I’m looking.
“And this Helmut Lang messenger bag which was only $50 and you guys it’s archived for $400, like what.”
Melanie also bought Nanushka slippers for $50 which were worth $320 and a vintage Victoria’s Secret slip dress for $10.
“I just loved how unique all the pieces at the thrift store were,” she said.
“It’s like insane.”
Hundreds of people liked Melanie’s video of all the items she bought while in New York.
