Margate’s Anna Cash Davidson has boosted profits by 130% in three months, revealing the secrets behind her growing resale business.
A woman from Margate has revealed how she turned her love of vintage fashion into a thriving side hustle – boosting her profits by 130% in the past three months.
Anna Cash Davidson, 27, works in the music industry but has been steadily growing her resale business on platforms like Depop and Etsy.

She also runs a website with her brother, selling hand-painted vintage pieces.
Her passion for second-hand fashion began years ago, but it was spotting bargains that weren’t her size or style that inspired her to start reselling.
“One of the first items I bought to sell was a vintage PVC jacket for £15 which I sold for £30,” Anna told Hype Daily.
“Looking back, it could definitely have been worth more, but I was just super excited that I had made a profit.”
Since then, she’s seen profits climb – with her best month to date netting £950 and her biggest mark-up a £225 gain on an upcycled £10 charity shop jacket.
While most resellers stick to charity shops, car boot sales and Facebook Marketplace, Anna says her real secret weapon is sourcing from a wholesaler called Fleek.
“Many people don’t know about this method or are too scared to buy in bulk,” she explained.
“But it usually works out far cheaper per item, and you get buyer protection too.”
Consistency is another part of her success. Anna uploads new stock every day on Depop, stays on top of trends via TikTok, and invests her earnings back into her growing business.
This season she says graphic mesh tops and quality vintage jackets are big sellers.
Her advice to new resellers is not to fear small profits, as they quickly add up. Good photos, trend-savvy descriptions and being quick to respond to offers are also essential.
Anna hopes to take her side hustle full-time in the near future.
For now, she balances her freelance work with afternoons spent photographing and listing clothes, plus daily trips to the post office.
“I only ever buy items that I personally love but also pay attention to trends,” she said.
“The brand alone won’t sell an item if it doesn’t feel current. For me, the first thing is always that I genuinely like the piece.”
What started as a passion project in 2023 has now become a serious business – and one that’s growing fast.
