Known online as The Thrifter (@caroline.shops), the keen bargain hunter regularly shares her secondhand hauls and shopping tips with her 23,800 followers. 

In a new TikTok reel, she said: “I went charity shopping this weekend and I got a pair of Vivienne Westwood shoes and a brand new Jasper Conran handbag, all for under £22.”

During the two-minute video, Caroline revealed that she went secondhand shopping in Wymondham in Norfolk, and managed to find some great designer buys. 

She continued: “First up, I went to a small charity shop called Star Throwers, and on the shelf, as soon as I walked in, I saw this. 

“It is a brand new Jasper Conran handbag. 

“I pretty much love everything about this bag. I love the colour to start with. It’s biscuity, taupe colour, and the size is perfect. 

“As Goldilocks would say, it’s not too big, it’s not too small. Also, I love the fact that it’s brand new. 

“It had the price tag still on which I actually took off, but the price tag on it is £65. I got it from Star Throwers for £7.”

However, her next find was the star of the show – and saved her more than XXX. 

Caroline continued: “I love Vivienne Westwood. I owe a Vivienne Westwood bag which I bought from Vinted. 

“But now I also own a pair of Vivienne Westwood shoes. 

“More specifically, they are Vivienne Westwood Anglomania Shoes. 

“They remind me very much of the jelly shoes that I would wear in the 80s, but they also have elements of glitter and sparkle to them as well. 

“I saw them on a shelf when I went into the Break charity shop. 

“They were my size and I thought, ‘it’s a sign’ and I bought them. 

“They were a little bit more than I probably would want to pay ideally. They were £15. 

“But I love the Vivienne Westwood brand, they are very nostalgia-inducing as they remind me of my youth, they’re super comfy as well, I have been wearing them. I couldn’t pass them up. 

“These types of shoes sell online, secondhand, for about £25 to £30.”

Fans loved her preloved purchases, with the video gaining more than 440 likes and 7,700 views. 

In the comments, other TikTokkers shared their reactions, with one writing: “OMG I’ve always wanted a Vivien Westwood piece, your charity shops are amazing, all ours have are Primark and Tesco lol.”

Another said: “The shoes! Fellow 80s girl who had jelly shoes and a jelly bag.”

“Amazing bargains Caroline,” a third added.
