Shopper 'can't believe it' after finding £200 designer coat for £1 on the high street

A savvy shopper has been left gobsmacked after making an amazing discovery in her local charity shop.

YouTuber FayJaye shared the incredible find with her 24,000 subscribers, revealing that she had snapped up a leopard-print designer coat for just £1 on a trip to a Sue Ryder shop. "Honestly, I just cannot believe it," she gasped in the video. "For a quid... what?!"

The coat was in "amazing" condition, she said, and sported a designer Antoni & Alison label. The same coat is being sold on eBay for £200 - but the coat is no longer available to buy brand new, so it's likely that the RRP is even higher, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Fellow shoppers were quick to share their congratulations over the find, as many praised the benefits of visiting charity shops to save money, help a good cause, and help combat fast fashion by giving garments a second life. "Wow, absolutely amazing bargains!" one person said in the comments section.

Someone else admitted: "I can't believe I used to be such a charity shop snob... years ago it was just people's unwanted tat, but now you can get some really fab finds."

Sue Ryder is a charity that offers palliative, neurological and bereavement support, with over 400 shops across the UK selling clothing, furniture, books, music and much more. The North East is home to several Sue Ryder branches, including in Killingworth, South Shields, Gateshead, Sunderland and Ashington.
