€8 Charity-Shop Cashmere Turns Out To Be High-End Brora Jumper

A label check linked the find to Brora’s Scottish cashmere line, with comparable new pieces retailing for about €330 or £379.

Overview

  • Berlin-based Isobel Millington bought a blue 100% cashmere V-neck for about €8 (£7) at a charity shop in her Italian hometown.
  • She identified the brand as Brora from the label and found comparable new versions listed at around €330 and £379, with some originally priced at €450.
  • Millington’s TikTok post about the discovery (@postyfangirl) has drawn more than 112,000 views.
  • She says she will keep the jumper rather than sell it and is keeping the shop’s exact location private.
  • Millington credits strong donations from English residents in nearby hills for the shop’s quality stock, and notes the valuation comes from the label and retail listings, not an independent appraisal.
