RACHEL: This is Dumb, she suggested instead that we scour thrift shops for damaged old scarves and quilt with them.
ENRIQUE: Nothing wrong with being a label whore, if you've got the cash to buy in!
WENDE in San Francisco had a good tip: If that exact blanket, with any labels cut off or otherwise missing, showed up at a thrift store for $20, would you still want it? (Want it? We'd push over an old lady to get it!)
LUIGI upped the anti with: Another choice in the super luxe category: LORO PIANA - Cashmere throw trimmed in suede
JANE hit the homerun with a friend who: buys out merchandise from natural disasters and he just got a shipment (with) lots of Hermes items. Check for it on ebay".
