$1,000.00 Jacket

SO....
Remember that jacket I mentioned purchasing at Canton First Monday Trade Days?
I just happened to unroll the sleeve cuff and discovered these words on a sewn on label,
 FATTO A MANO!
I'm always game for a mystery. (Google is my best friend!)
According to my search, those words mean handmade, in Italian.  
(Duh, I could tell it was special, the hems were hand stitched!)
So now I'm really curious. Turns out it's a designer jacket, hand made in Italy,
manufactured under the name,
Piazza Sempione!
Doesn't mean anything to me, I just like it!
As you can tell from the link above I found their website, very pricy!!!
All the IN department stores carry their label, jackets start at around $1,000.00
Who would pay that much for a jacket? No one I know that's for sure!
 But I would pay $3.00, yep, $3.00
Who buys such an expensive jacket only to sell it for hamburger change?
I'll post a photo when I get my new glasses, kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
Have a good evening,
till next time,
Bonjour

That's the thrill of thrift shopping. You never know what you will find -- that coat is a treasure for sure. Good eye! (well, when you have your new glasses, anyway.)

Can't beat an amazing deal! It always makes me feel good. Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I bought the seeds at a garden center. I think they were called Japanese hulless. Easy as pie to grow, I didn't have to do anything but drop them in the ground.

Nancy-I will be able to see much better on November 12th!!!!

Jess-I'll check out the seeds for the spring garden. My grandson Nate loves popcorn! Also love the red dresser.

Sawn- How sad that she had to let her things go so cheaply, it makes you think about what is really valueable and perhaps, it's not things.
