Probably under "womens clothing--accessories", just like the handbags. One can find just about anything there, especially if you visit frequently. Goodwill stores from around the country put their high-end or unusual donations up for auction on this site. Right now, they have an airplane kit, a 1902 Picasso print, and a couple of cars/SUVs on auction, among other things. Like eBay, some things can go for big bucks, but one can often get good deals there.
