The budget-busting Mind store, nestled in London’s trendy Soho, even boasts a plush dressing room.
Luxury brands found at the charity shop, that supports mental health patients, is a world away from the usual M&S and Peacocks clobber in most stores of its type.
The London store had a £195 yellow jacket by Sies Marja for sale.
But the most expensive was a leather skirt by Chanel that will set you back a whopping £495, MyLondon reported.
The cheapest item in the racks was an £8 shirt dress in dark brown.
The changing room, normally a dusty old curtain with a dirty mirror, changes the game for charity shops.
Because this Mind store boasts pastel pink walls, a plush fluffy chair and even a coffee table.
Incredibly, a vinyl player and potted plant sits in the corner.
It is unclear what the target market for the extortionately priced charity shop is – but it certainly isn’t younger millennials.
It comes as a poll of 2,000 adults found those aged 25-34 are almost twice as likely to take action in their households to reduce monthly outgoings.

Second hand BMW clocks nearly 1M miles over lifespan – two trips to the moon and back
A SECOND-hand BMW has clocked up almost a million miles — the equivalent of two trips to the moon and back.
The 3 series tops the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s table of cars which have gone round the clock yet are still on the road.
More than 6,000 of the German cars have mileages in the 200,000 range[/caption]
The stats show the upmarket model was clearly made to last — as one in five of the 562,000 BMW 3 series on the road have done more than 100,000 miles.
More than 6,000 of the German cars have mileages in the 200,000 range with another 100 in the 300,000 range.
Four of them have mileages in the 900,000s, with the most travelled having an odometer reading of 966,179 miles.
That is the equivalent of 40 trips around the Earth or two 480,000-mile journeys to the moon and back.
BMW, which has been making the 3 series since May 1975, is challenged in the durability stakes only by the VW Golf — 15 per cent of which have clocked up more than 100,000 miles.
The Vauxhall Astra is just behind on 12 per cent — but 17 of them have gone beyond the 900,000-mile mark.
James Ruppert, of website Bangernomics, said: “The BMW 3 Series and the VW Golf are two high-mile legends that have been doing the business since the 1970s.
“What makes these models great is not just their proven durability but the style they bring to mundane mile-munching.
“Their tough and classy interiors are a great place to be.”

Come away, O human child! To the waters and the wild With an Alice, hand in hand
I find myself alone. I am the only person left in the treehouse right now. I think it’s the first time this has happened. It is interesting to consider that I could try to wipe the website, delete loads of articles, do something to burn down my job. I don’t particularly want to, but the coiled potential to do it exists, because I am unsupervised. There is no other member of staff between me and all of you. The great filter is removed. Any typos are on purpose. How you doin’?
This gives me a great opportunity, because I get to have, in a sense, the final word on RPS this year. There are a lot of posts coming up (if we include the Advent Calendar posts that have already gone, we have 50-ish bits of hashtag seasonal hashtag content this year, which I think is the most I’ve had to schedule for a Christmas break yet), but almost everything after this point is a scheduled post, made of time travel words written days or weeks ago. I’m live and uncensored, baby. I’m going to fire up Among Trees. Let’s go and be alone together. But don’t worry, I take my responisbility seriously, so I’ll make sure the final word is a joke.
