‘I went to France for charity shops and couldn’t believe value of item I found’

By staff16 July 2025No Comments3 Mins Read

A British bargain hunter has hailed a discovery she made in a charity shop in Paris, which she believes is worth around £300 – and she only paid a fraction of that price

A woman who defied the soaring Parisian heat to check out the French capital’s charity shops has expressed her delight after stumbling upon a bargain find. Lola Amuah took to TikTok to reveal the results of her shopping trip across the Channel, noting one particular item she snapped up that she claims is worth £300.

“It’s 30 degrees in Paris and all we can think about is going to flipping charity shops,” she joked in a video. Accompanied by her friend, Lola headed inside a branch of Emmaus – a charity established in the 1940s to help combat poverty and homelessness in France. The pair began their experience by checking out the clothes and hats, before Lola made a beeline for the toys section.

After picking out a Toy Story soft toy, she soon moved on to a basket of sunglasses, which included a child’s pair of Ray-Bans.

Lola’s friend then summoned her over to showcase a Bimba Y Lola purse. “This is an expensive brand, isn’t it?” she asked.

“We’ve got to get it,” agreed Lola as the duo checked it over for authenticity.

Closing, Lola spotted a brown leather Coach handbag, which she examined thoroughly. Noting its €79.50 price tag (£70), she declared: “Isn’t that gorgeous? It’s stunning, and it is real.”

She hailed her success in a caption: “We found a £300 handbag in a charity shop!”

Coach handbags in this style currently retail online for between £300 and £495.

“Stop going to charity shops and finding fabulous things, I’m so jealous,” one TikTok user penned in response.

While a second person gushed: “Love Coach bags.”

According to the brand’s website, Coach is a global fashion house founded in New York, also in the 1940s. “Inspired by the vision of Creative Director Stuart Vevers and the inclusive and courageous spirit of our hometown, we make beautiful things, crafted to last—for you to be yourself in,” Coach states.

It goes on to add: “We believe in crafting beautiful things that you can be yourself in. Since 1941, inspired by the spirit of our hometown, New York City, we’ve built a legacy of craft and a community that champions the courage to live authentically.

“Today, the same way we care about every stitch that goes into our product, we care about the impact we have on people, communities and the planet.

“Everything we make, we craft to last with the belief that better-made things create a better made future for all.”

Today, there are 17 Coach stores in the UK, seven of which can be found in Central London and its outer boroughs. Other branches can be found in major cities including Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds, Portsmouth and York.
