“Reselling lets me spend my days doing something I enjoy.”
 

Michelle Nguyen has a passion for sustainable fashion, loving clothes since she was a child (@emmiscloset_). A self-proclaimed “true soul entrepreneur,” she resells trending styles and rescues beautiful fabrics from the landfill and thrift stores, turning them into re-imagined, one-of-a-kind looks. eBay has given her the opportunity to gain economic independence while doing what she loves, on her own time and terms.
