Recently, a video shared by thrifted home style influencer Claudia Von has grabbed attention online for highlighting surprising finds while garbage picking in a wealthy area. The clip not only showcased unexpected treasures but also sparked conversations about waste, repair, and reuse in everyday life.
At the beginning of the video, Claudia speaks to the camera from her car and explains that she's going to pick up trash in a wealthy neighbourhood. She does this with eagerness and curiosity, without much expectation, and as she drives through the streets, she observes the items near the trash bins.
Her first discovery is a purse that was lying near the bin. She noticed it looked interesting and wondered if it was broken or could be fixed. She took it to her car to examine the purse more closely and, to her surprise, discovered it was a Christian Louboutin item.

Continuing, Claudia discovered several more items. She picked up a folding camp chair and said she would take it to someone in need. She also found a baby crib, which she described as a Restoration Hardware item for children. As she continued, her amazement grew.
