A mystery donor has handed £500,000 worth of high end designer clothes, bags and 400 pairs of shoes to an online charity shop.

The huge donation included a chic £2,600 Chloé dress, a £2,500 Gucci bag popular among WAGS and a much sought after pair of £1,160 Alexander McQueen boots.

Now the 150 dresses, 75 bags and £6,000 worth of jewellery bought from leading fashion houses around Europe will be sold via Thrift+ after being authenticated by stunned members of staff.

A pair of Emporio Armani leather slip-ons - which show some signs of use but still remain in good condition - were also offered up as part of the extremely generous donation

Designers featured in the mammoth collection also included Stella McCartney and Victoria Beckham - whose dresses retail for more than £2,000 each. 

A pair of Emporio Armani leather slip-ons - which show some signs of use but still remain in good condition - were also offered up as part of the extremely generous donation.

The Chloé maxi dress in a delicate shade of lilac, worn by the likes of Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz, remains on sale for less than £200. 

The Parisian fashion house regularly sees shoppers queuing around the block for their Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter releases, but the mystery donor was more than willing to give it up for a good cause.

Joe Metcalfe, who founded the site, said: 'When we received this donation we were shocked. We sold a Louis Vuitton bag within minutes of uploading it.' 

Thrift+ donates 50 per cent of every sale to charity, and aims to raise 10 times more than a charity shop. 

The average price of an item sold on their website is £19 - £9 more than at physical thrift stores. The money raised from this donation is set to top anything the site have ever recorded before.

A Louis Vuitton leather backpack, made popular by the likes of Justin Bieber and Chance The Rapper, was offered up at a snip of its retail price. Described typically as a unisex bag, the luxury leather offering was listed in the women's section for just £445 but sold within seconds

The high end Chloe maxi dress in a delicate shade of lilac, worn by the likes of Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz, remains on sale for less than £200. The Parisian fashion house regularly sees shoppers queuing around the block for their Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter releases.

A flowing Alexander McQueen floral top (top left) with back fasteners was advertised for £350 - less than half of its original cost

Reinaldo Lourenco stilletos were offered up for £155

Contributors send in their items for free, and the team list the items online, before giving 25 per cent of each sale to whoever sent in their clothes.

In this case, the anonymous donor waived their fee - meaning at least 75 per cent of the proceeds will go to Dress For Success.

The charity helps women who are preparing for their first job interviews.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
