Shows like Emily in Paris, Sex and the City, and Gossip Girl have fuelled a renewed obsession with luxury fashion, turning brands like Dior, Chanel, and Gucci into pop culture. Recently, a video of a woman finding a Christian Louboutin bag while collecting garbage in an affluent neighbourhood has gone viral.

Thrifted home style influencer Claudia Von shared the video on Instagram, showing her driving around a wealthy area to pick up trash.

In the video, she spots several items near the trash bins, including a broken black purse near one of the many bins. She gets out of her car, and finds out it is a Christian Louboutin Purse.

She comes across another item from the same brand, along with a headband, and even shows the price tag, which reveals the item was worth $1,590 (around Rs 1.42 lakh). She admits that some viewers might find it unusual to use discarded items, but emphasised that the purse was a rare and valuable find.

She discovers several more items, including a folding camp chair, which she says she plans to give to someone in need. She then finds a baby crib, which she identifies as a Restoration Hardware piece. She also spots a small table partly buried in the snow, followed by a standing desk, and even a bed on another street.

Sharing the video, she wrote, “Luxury doesn’t disappear when it breaks. Garbage picking in a rich neighborhood!”
