A thrift store shopper discovered an iconic high-end designer sweater for literal pennies on the dollar at their local store.
In r/ThriftStoreHauls on Reddit, the shopper shared their find: an authentic vintage Coogi sweater made from actual wool.
The shopper paid just $3.10 for the sweater, compared to the $600 price tag for a brand-new one.
The original poster added, "It'll be a christmas present, I'm so excited to see the reaction."
Coogi was founded in 1969 and is known for its colorful and intricate patterns. The sweaters were popularized by the hip-hop community, worn by stars like The Notorious B.I.G.
Nostalgia for the 1980s and 90s has renewed interest in the brand, so the thrift store find is a major money-saving score on a popular item.
