We went hunting in the charity shop’s ‘rag house’ and were stunned by our discoveries – we found a £80 bag & £600 shirt

IT’S where all the clothes, accessories and sundries go when they aren’t sold at the charity shop.

But one woman was lucky enough to be allowed to search through her local “rag house”;; – also known as a textile recycling centre – and was stunned by

Lola Amuah is a pro, and regularly shares videos of her antics on her social media pages.

And in a recent TikTok, Lola posted a clip of herself and her thrifting pal Pete searching through the huge bins of items.

Things began well as Lola spotted a Fjällräven Kånken backpack, which would usually retail.

“Needs a bit of a wash but that’s decent isn’t it?!”;; a clearly delighted Lola said.

Next up, she spotted an “early 2000s”;; Juicy Couture purse, which even had the monogrammed designer fabric inside.

Bags seemed to be the theme of the day, as they then found a Mickey Mouse bag with “Oh Boy”;; written on the front.

She then found a Winnie the Pooh plush backpack, and another backpack which was new with tags from to take home for her daughters.

“What, what have you found?”;; Lola exclaimed, as Pete held up a football shirt with the name of Argentinian Gabriel Batistuta on the back.

“Is that real?”;; she questioned, to which Pete said it was, and admitted it would cost around £600 new.

“How did he find a £600 shirt??”;; Lola captioned her video.

“Lots of good finds,”;; one person commented on the clip.

“Hoarders paradise in there!”;; Lola replied.

“Omg WHERE is this?! Is it open to the public?”;; another pleaded.

“This sadly isn’t open to public,”;; Lola said.

“We have a business relationship for my live streams.”;;

“This is heaven!”;; a third gushed.

“Please tell me you got that juicy purse?”;; someone else questioned.

“I absolutely did! Had to!”;; Lola said in response.

“I love your excitement at everything your find,”;; another praised.

“Please THE first bag,”;; someone else gushed.

As another added: “OMG I’d love that Batistuta, what a player!”;;
