A 24-year-old woman from Savannah, Georgia, has gone viral on TikTok after stumbling upon a thrift store find that left her convinced someone had “messed up” at the store.
Savannah, who did not give a surname, was at a store named 2W, a warehouse-style secondhand stop in Atlanta when she stumbled on something amazing—a pair of Jimmy Choo heels labeled at just $5.
The amazing find was all the more special for Savannah who says she struggles to find shoes in her size.

“I was actually complaining about how nowhere had cute shoes for me because of how small my feet are,” she told Newsweek. “I’m a size 5/6, so when looking for shoes, it’s always so, so hard.”
That’s when the unexpected happened. “The second I was complaining about it to my friend, I looked down and I spotted them,” she said. “I was in complete shock because like this ever happens to me.”
Despite not being “in the market for heels” and having nowhere in particular to wear them, the $5 price tag and designer label made the decision easy.
“Of course I bought them,” she said. For now, the shoes have a place of honor on display in her closet while she waits for the perfect opportunity to break them in.

Internet Reacts
The Jimmy Choo shoes usually retail for more than $800 new, prompting Savannah to share the discovery on TikTok where it has been viewed more than 500,000 times.
In the video, Savannah shared how she thought “somebody messed up” at the thrift store when she first spotted the shoes with such a low price tag, before trying them on and having a walk around.
in the comments, people shared their stunned reactions.
“I’ve never been so jealous in my life,” said one commenter. While another wrote: “Omg the way I would immediately get them even if they’re not my size lol.”
“Are u kidding me those are my dream wedding shoes,” another commenter said.
Savannah is not the only person to get luck with an unexpected find at the thrift store. Earlier this year one thrifter shared what she believed was her "craziest" find—a JW Anderson chevron knit top that normally retails for £683 ($922) but was on sale for just £10 ($13).
In Canada, another woman made an amazing thrift discovery when she stumbled on a designer handbag at a thrift store, picking up the genuine Coach bag for just under $15.
