Emily, a keen reseller and bargain hunter from Somerset, made what she calls her “best ever charity shop find” when she purchased a Hermès Paris two-piece outfit for just £8.50 at Mercy in Action, a local charity shop in Saltford near Bath. Valued originally at around £2,900, the find has sparked excitement and admiration online after she shared it on TikTok.
In her video, Emily showcased the store’s impressive selection of luxury items, including leather Ugg boots, a linen Monsoon top, Barbour jumpers, and men’s wax jackets. She also recommended seeking out Marks and Spencer jumpers, noting their great quality and affordability—she spotted an alpaca-wool turtleneck priced at £6.50.
Among other notable pieces, she spotted a Modern Rarity jacket, Harrods apparel, and Peloton trainers before unveiling her prized Hermès tartan two-piece ensemble. Emily called it her “find of the year” despite it being only January.

The discovery attracted attention and comments from TikTok users, some disappointed to have missed the item, others amazed by such a rare find. Emily addressed questions about the outfit’s construction and authenticity, explaining that the two pieces were hung awkwardly but were separate and authentic. She advised those concerned about buying genuine designer stores to check labels, serial numbers, and, if needed, seek professional authentication.
Emily’s experience highlights the thrill and potential hidden gems awaiting charity shop visitors, encouraging others to explore and share their own remarkable finds.
