Chanel-ing the Past.
It’s great to hear from customers who find great vintage items to love at Thrift Town. One such customer was so happy with her purchase (I would be too!) that she took pictures & emailed to tell us all about it.

Name: Rozafelle D. My Story: I was on a hunt for vintage clothes for my Mad Men inspired 30th birthday shindig. We went to Thrift Town, and were near the standing jewelry encasement when I noticed shiny button earrings at the corner of my eye. On the open earring rack beside the encasement, there hung a pair of large, gold, button earrings.
I looked closer and noticed the legendary double Cs. I took them off the rack and looked at the backings. There it was, the stamp – Made in France Chanel. My lucky day! And, as part of the birthday festivities, I had a mini photo shoot where I used the clip-on earrings to add dazzle to my plain pumps.
