Good evening gents, need an assist on these Zelli’s I found today please. Question is whether these are real croc, not sure if Zelli ever made embossed leather shoes. Most exotic skin Zelli‘s have a little metal tag on the bottom near the heel indicating croc, lizard, ostrich, etc, in addition to the leather “vero cuoio” stamp on the sole. Looks like the bottom of mine have a couple pin holes where the tag was likely attached so I’m leaning toward the real thing. Any thoughts? Thx!

Returned to my uni city to finish my postgrad course, and thankfully the charity shops have mostly re-opened. Got a few cheaper things for fodder, but these two stood out. Pop on NEEDLES and Common Projects.

NEEDLES Nepenthes Polo Sweater Shirt Splashed Pattern EJ235 Olive / Brown (size M) - £25.00

Common Projects Original Achilles Low Brown Leather Sneakers size 45 EU / 11 UK - £10.99. Slightly beat, but already sold for £64.

Stay safe and happy thrifting!

Nothing available at the moment.

Yes, that's a Disney tie on the far right. It's from the Tie Rack and is actually pretty nice with embroidery rather than a print. I got it for 30 cents, so I thought my kids might like me to wear it a couple of times.

Top to bottom: Anonymous prescription frames with a nice shape and clip on sunglasses, Lindberg, Lindberg, Daniel Swarovski.

Top to bottom: Vintage Façonnable (heavily oxidized), vintage Armani, vintage Modiflex. No idea on the last pair, but they're
very nice.

I knew these must be older and rare, but didn't know how rare they'd be. These are from 1972 and are pretty cool.

First time out in my local stores since February, still not feeling the whole mask thing with my asthma. Has anyone found any masks that you can actually breathe while wearing?

Definitely legit skin, the holes where the tags were on the soles is a dead giveaway like you said ?

I've found maybe five pairs of Zellis over the years and they were always quality made shoes ,two lizards,two pairs of crocs and one pair of ostrich .
Those are definitely real croc.

Stunning Draper's sheepskin coat! They're made 5 minutes from my home town (village outside Glastonbury), so often see them in local charity shops.

Thrift fit?

Not really, more like post shoulder surgery fit. Thank the Lord for the cold therapy machine!

Can't wait until this shoulder is good enough to get back to bin flinging duties. Yeah, yeah, Coronavirus... I'll just wear a hazmat suit.

And the Cat can't wait until I can get back to ball throwing duties.

Oh, as far as shortages of masks... Try ACE hardware. Our local one has KN95 for $4 each. They are the easiest to breath through. Buy 4 of them. And rotate. DO NOT try and wash them.

Too much butterfly branding nonsense lately. That polo is awesome has almost the exact same color and pattern as a Frank Leder piece I have.

Anyone recognize the sig? Thrifted this a couple years ago and kinda forgot about it. I just found it while cleaning a closet.

The quality feels unreal. From a distance the polo doesn't look special, but close up you can really see the intricate details. At touch you can tell it's well made. It's the first item from Needles that I've handled, so I can't claim to be an expert, but I think a local store (Peggs & Sons) carries the brand so I might stop in and see what else they have to offer.
