If you love thrifting in NYC, scoring major designer deals, home decor, and uncovering vintage fashion gold—buckle up, because this haul is WILD. I’m back at the NY Showplace Backstage Tag Sale in Astoria, and this month’s sale was overflowing with jaw-dropping designer finds. We’re talking Manolo Blahnik heels for $45 (!!), a literal runway Versace leather coat for $600, and my most epic discovery to date: a 2004 Roberto Cavalli silk gown for $325 that would cost you thousands—if you can even find it online.
This monthly secondhand treasure hunt is one of NYC’s best-kept secrets for vintage lovers, fashion collectors, and anyone looking to build a designer wardrobe on a thrifter’s budget. From racks of vintage and high-end designer clothing to bins of jewelry, art, and home decor, it’s a total sensory overload in the best way.
In this video, I’m sharing my top finds, thrifting tips, and the thrill of the hunt—plus, how I decide what’s worth the splurge when shopping secondhand. If you're into sustainable fashion, designer deals, vintage style, or just love a good NYC thrift vlog, this one’s for you! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and tap the bell so you don’t miss a single sale or score!
