THRIFT store finds can be a hit or a miss, depending on pure luck.
One woman thought she stumbled across a decent denim pick but found herself disappointed when she got home.
Arden (@arden_alexa) shared the thrift find video with over 22,000 TikTok followers.
She was excited to show off her latest denim purchase, trying it on.
Upon donning the low-rise jeans for an entire day, however, she noticed a flaw that she had missed at the store once she got home.
“I will cry now, I thought these pants were a steal,” she said.

“Wore these thrifted jeans out shopping today and didn’t notice they have a huge hole on the a** until I got home.”
Arden shared that she had learned her lesson and would make sure to never repeat it.
“This is why you can’t trust thrifted pants,” she said.
She turned around and placed her hand through her pants to reveal the gaping hole near her butt area.
Fortunately for her, the flaw was only visible once she bent over.
People took to the comments to share their condolences.
Many felt that the situation was unfortunate because otherwise, the jeans were stylish.
“And they’re perfect,” sighed one commenter.
Some didn’t think the hole was a flaw at all and might be part of the denim’s design.
“It’s Levi’s that’s normal, it’s their fashion,” said one viewer.
One advised Arden to not give up hope on the denim, as a simple fix would solve her problem.
“If you or someone you know knows how to sew, they could fix it!” they said.
“From what I can tell, it looks like a pretty easy fix.”
