It was a slam Dunk.
Canadian thrift shop fanatic Sarah Dunk went viral on TikTok this week for reporting discovery of a vintage Gianni Versace dress at a secondhand shop for under $12.

“You’re gonna freak out,” Dunk said as she filmed herself within the thrift store chain Value Village.
She pulls the robe off the rack, showing it off to the camera. The spaghetti-strap dress encompasses a corset-style, black lace bodice and a protracted black skirt.
“It’s $17,” she declares, referencing the Canadian price, as she drapes it around herself. “It looks small, I’m scared… It’s old, but we’ll see. You’re gonna must stay tuned, everybody.”
The Post reached out to the TikTok creator for comment.

Viewers who watched the video were shocked by the find.

One other joked, “I’m shocked the workers even let that touch the racks lol.”
“GIRL, U FOUND A GIANNI VERSACE AND THATS ON ANOTHER LEVEL,” another person emphasized.
In a follow-up video, Dunk admitted she ended up buying the vintage frock.
“There’s been loads of comments about how expensive this dress goes for, for resale, and I’m so grateful that you just guys found it, because I even have been scouring the web, all of the resale sites, 1stDibs, and I couldn’t seem to search out it until I put in some really specific keywords,” she explained within the clip.
She confessed that she’s a bit “skeptical” that the listings on the resale sites are for the dress she has in her possession “because my dress has different straps.”
