"I had been looking for a new purse for quite some time as my current one was starting to wear," they wrote. "I love this one, especially the little dog decal."

Radley London is known for its high-quality leather handbags, often retailing for well over $100. So snagging one for just $2 is nothing short of a thrifting jackpot. 

Thrifting isn't just about scoring designer goods at a fraction of the price — it's also a simple and impactful way to reduce waste on a global scale. Shopping secondhand keeps items out of landfills and significantly cuts down on the demand for new production, further saving resources that would otherwise be used to manufacture new products. 

Fashion, especially fast fashion, is one of the most resource-intensive industries, with clothing waste piling up in landfills at alarming rates. But when shoppers choose to buy secondhand instead, they extend the lifespan of items that are still in great condition and get to enjoy stylish, high-quality pieces without breaking the bank
