CHARITY TREASURES: Paws for a cause with Snoopy!

Thursday 18 July 2024


A giant leather Snoopy doll discovered at a local charity shop by a second-hand shopper could fetch a sum of £395 to raise much-needed funds for Jersey's only hospice.

The large leather beagle was discovered earlier this week by a charity shop veteran who is using social media to spread the love for second-hand shopping.

Bargain enthusiast Fiona Walker recently set up social media pages under the name 'Upstylejersey24' to showcase interesting items found and encourage islanders to do their own digging for treasure to support good causes.

Express is partnering with her to showcase her favourite bargains each week...

This week’s find was a leather snoopy doll created by the handbag designer Coach as part of a limited edition range. 

The plush figure originally retailed for $2,000.

However, it was found in the St Ouen Jersey Hospice shop priced at a fraction of the sum – a 'steal' at £395.

Fiona said: "What the heck do you do with a giant leather Snoopy? Answers on a postcard, please…

"And if you want one, this massive pooch is in pristine condition and on sale at the Jersey Hospice shop in St Ouen."
