Content creators Orijus Gasanovas and Tadas Kanapeckas-Varkฤ— Labdarkฤ— explored a "Humana" second-hand store in Jurbarkas, Lithuania, during a special 1 euro clothing sale.

For example, I recently discovered "Valentino" pants, which cost 1,500 euros new. When you buy them for 50 euros, everything is stirred up.

Gasanovas highlighted the potential for incredible finds, mentioning a pair of "Valentino" pants that retail for 1,500 euros but were available for a fraction of the price. He emphasized that while such deals are exciting, one should not expect perfection, especially with items like shoes.

The biggest messes happen with shoes, jackets, and handbags. For example, these sneakers already have a patch on them, they have already been repaired.

Labdarkฤ— pointed out specific items, noting shoes with visible repairs and advising shoppers to check the fabric composition of clothing. He also commented on the varying quality of items, from a pink women's t-shirt with a good material blend to a retro-style backpack that caught his eye.

Underwear for me too, no, but shoes โ€“ first place. True, I caught a fungus.

โ€” Tadas Kanapeckas-Varkฤ— Labdarkฤ—Expressing his aversion to buying second-hand shoes and underwear.

The duo also shared personal preferences, with Gasanovas admitting a dislike for second-hand shoes and underwear due to hygiene concerns, even mentioning a past experience with a fungal infection. They also discussed the importance of consistency when thrifting, comparing it to fishing โ€“ the more you try, the higher the chance of a good catch.

You can not look at the brand, but you need to look at the composition. L is a good size for a woman. Larger sizes have higher demand.
