Hi guys! My friend and I were frustrated by the high prices of mid-to-high-end fashion brands online

so we created a tool called Encore for our fashion climate tech class that links the best second-hand and cheaper alternatives for your favorite mid/high end clothing items 🍃

If you are interested in trying it out our conversational search tool, here's our signup and website :)

Just type what you're looking for, converse with it, and it scours hundreds of resale/secondhand sites (like Grailed, Thredup, Vinted, Ebay etc) to find the top deals

Our project aims to lessen the fashion industry's carbon footprint, which accounts for 3-8% of global CO2 emissions

Only sizes 8.5 and 9.5 left.

I thought that this boot is more bifl then the basic danner ridge. As this one has a fiberglass shank as opposed to the bi fit board shank, the latter danner cannot fully recraft.

I've seen this list somewhere else either in this channel or another, so I'd love a link to that if someone has it...or let's add ideas/links/items here.
Main category of BIFL item: Things everyone should/could/ought to have.
There are many sub categories: sports fans, men, women, children, hunters, runners, gamers, etc...but let's see where this goes and what exists first.

A few weeks ago, I had looked at a pair of Danner Jags and I remember them being in that ~$150 price range (here in the USA.)

Now the black Friday sale rolls in and surprise, its $200, marked down to $120.

Is this still a good deal, or is a price you can "usually" get it for with some patience and some homework?

Boots in question - Danner Jags

Does Briggs and Riley do a Black Friday deal traditionally? I see they’re throwing in a packing cube right now, but I was hoping for more. I’m hoping to buy a pair of baseline spinners.

I want to carry what I currently carry in a Tom Bihn Packing Cube Shoulder Bag (large wallet, a Tom Bihn two pocket clear fronted pouch and a handful of other items outside of what's in the pouch) plus a sketchbook, notebook, and drawing/writing utensils. Plus my phone.

I throw that into a Tom Bihn Synapse 25 but don't want to always carry a backpack and everything that I permanently keep in it.

Not sure why there aren't as many options for people who don't carry a laptop.

Was considering the Tom Bihn Pilot or Bellroy System Work Bag.

Briefly considered the Tom Bihn Maker's Bag.

Any others I should consider? I have items from both mentioned companies but other brands would work as well.

Not an affiliate link, they don't often have sales but managed to snag this just now - https://www.amazon.com/Briggs-Riley-Uprights-Baseline-Essential/dp/B09Y282JQD?th=1.

EDIT: was up for maybe 10 minutes and the deal was taken down. Perhaps a mistake on their part :/

Is this a good deal? I think it is (I’ve been waiting for a Miele canister with power head that’s not $800+)

This is Canadian $$

Looking for a good heated blanket that will last. My GF uses one almost everyday day in the winter months and the one we had for 2 years just quit. Anyone got recommendations for ones that will last? We don’t like adding to landfills.

heard about these belts from BIFL, thought they might be of interest to this subreddit

https://www.amazon.com/iRobot-Roomba-960-Connectivity-Carpets/dp/B01ID8H6NO/

Lowest till now as per CamelCamelcamel.com -

This subreddit has become a bit stagnant in the past year or two. I feel like we’re missing out on our potential here. Since there are truly only several BIFL brands in existence the availability of deals has been pretty slim.

Feel free to post more deals related to high quality merchandise and gear. Affiliate links are still not allowed, and I will work with the other mods to keep removing those posts as they emerge.

We currently have almost 4,000 subscribers but there is plenty of spam posts and affiliate links being posted. We could use an additional hand in keeping the subreddit active and relevant. Shoot me a PM if interested!
