    I work at the Goodwill bins and we get so much Isabel Marant we have to throw it away

Transcript

Everyone. I work at the Goodwill best, and every week, we have to throw away Isabel Marant stuff because we just get so much. So the first few times people started finding Isabel Marant, everyone was super excited. Obviously, the resellers were stoked. They were selling on Depop or whatever and making a lot of money. But we started to get in so much Isabel Marant to the point where all of the employees have their own crazy Isabel Marant closets, and people have tried to post as much as they could on Depop and things like that. It's just it's just too much. So we've had to start actively throwing away the pieces. I was talking to some of my other friends that work at the bins in other locations, and they said it's the same situation. For some reason, I guess everyone's over at Isbell Marant. They're donating everything, or maybe there was some storage of it that got into our flow of items, and now all the bins are getting it. Best, yeah, I mean, if you guys want Isbell Marant, you good easily go to the bins and get it. We especially get, like, fringe boots and, like, the white tops, things like that. We get a lot of those.
