Interviewing Isabelle Watkins: Depop master

When it comes to reselling, vintage is probably the way to go. I came to this conclusion after interviewing Isabelle Watkins about her experience as a vintage reseller. Isabelle runs a Depop account (check it out here) with her boyfriend Charlie and the two are prepared to dig through every charity shop in the country to find the best items. Since starting in February 2016, their account has amassed 7371 followers and has led to some incredible financial success. During the summer of 2016, Isabelle quit her job that she'd be working at for the past year to focus solely on her Depop shop. In one of those months, Charlie and Isabelle nearly reached a total revenue of £2000 allowing them to pay for holidays, festivals and other fun stuff.  One of the reasons why I think this form of reselling is so appealing is that you can venture out into your local high street whenever you like, have a quick browse through some charity shops and you may find something valuable, you may not, but it's not been too strenuous on your daily routine. This is one of the issues I find with hype brand reselling. When I visited Supreme, I was queueing for roughly 7 hours, on a Thursday morning, in the freezing cold, in London and I walked away with nothing. This makes vintage reselling seem like a nice day out.
