“Do you have a tough zipper that keeps getting stuck?” she asked.
Lukianov, the founder of The Luxury Outlet, a secondhand designer handbag market, explained that the issue is common with brands like Louis Vuitton.
After struggling with the expensive handbag for a few moments, she reached for parchment paper from her kitchen for a straightforward solution.
She rubbed the waxy paper over the zipper, going over each ridge and bump.
Immediately after, Lukianov was able to move the zipper back and forth smoothly.
The professional thrifter, who began her career in fashion purely by chance, shared other restoration tips for secondhand bags.
She relied on inexpensive metal polish to clean up tarnished hardware on designer bags without breaking the bank.
“All you need is Brasso, cotton stick, old rag, leather brush, and leather conditioner,” she said.
Lukianov explained that she applied a small amount of metal polish on the hardware and let the solution sit for 30 seconds.
She pressed the polish into the area with cotton, rotating the solution in circular motions.
She applied a leather conditioner after wiping the excess Brasso off with a rag.
With a leather toothbrush, she scrubbed the conditioner in for about 20 seconds and then wiped off the solution with a rag.
Her go-to products, she revealed, are Kiwi Saddle Soap and Apple‘s leather cleaner and conditioner.

Lukianov gained traction in her secondhand resale business after graduating high school.
Like many teens then, she’d hoped to make some extra cash by selling unwanted items from her closet.
After listing the items on Poshmark, she was surprised that reselling came easily to her.
“I would sell my own clothing that I didn’t want anymore, but would also sell my family members’ and friends’ items for commission,” she said.
An eventful thrift flip cemented her interest in the field.
“One day, I walked into a thrift store and saw a pair of Fendi shoes for only $12,” she said.
“These shoes changed my entire life.”
