Op shop gold
Thrifted Tuesday
May 21, 2008
MY search for good op shop finds toured through Adelaide, Melbourne and finally to Brisbane. This leather jacket was $14.95 at a Red Cross store in Brisbane. It stunk when I bought it and is a little big on me, but I saw potential. I aired it for about two weeks then got a quote for cleaning it. It’s $77 to clean a leather jacket. Whoa, kinda takes the sparkle off an op shop find. I looked up cleaning leather online and took to it with some laundry soap and a damp cloth. It now smells of soap. I wear it and bomb myself with my Perfect Potion scent hoping it takes on that smell instead. Scrunch up those sleeves, wear it loose and you’ve got an ‘80s flashback.
