A self-confessed shopaholic has secured £1,000 worth of clothing for just £40 in one major charity shop haul. Holly Wood, 39, shares her clothing videos online and has gone viral for her clever bargain finds across UK charity shops.
Jackpot find in Manchester
In her latest haul, Holly, from Manchester, scooped a number of fashionable items, including a £499 designer jacket for less than £10. In a TikTok which garnered more than 113,000 views, the 39-year-old says: “I’ve just found about £1,000 worth of clothes in the charity shops for about 40 quid. As I was going through, I was like ‘Hold on a minute – I think I’ve landed a bit more of a jackpot than I realised’.
“I’ve just had a little Google and totted up what everything would have been sold for, and it’s basically just under £1,000!”
Designer bargains for pennies
The charity shop haul includes a pair of funky jeans from Nastygal, a shirred red top from Twisted Wonder London, a red strapless top from H&M, a pair of striped shorts from Native Youth, a sequin top from Lucce, and a pair of cargo shorts from Bershka.
Continuing on, Holly was thrilled to find a metallic 100% leather designer jacket from Karen Millen, which originally retailed at £499 and is currently on sale for £325 – though she paid just £8.95 for it. Next up, Holly found a Reiss dress which originally retailed at £180, which she bagged for just £6, followed by a black bardot neckline dress from Nicole Nulla, and finally a cream long sleeve dress from Oh Polly.
Total value and sizing
Most of her bargain buys cost her less than a fiver, despite retailing for far more, as reported by creatorzine.com. In total, the original retail value of the items comes in at just shy of £1,000, according to Holly, though she spent around £40 herself. The second-hand shopper noted that “sizing means nothing”, with her haul including sizes ranging from a 6-14.
Holly, who shares content on her TikTok account @hollyloveslilac, added: “Here’s to another successful charity shop haul!”
