Kaitlyn Kim’s clothing side-hustle 

Kaitlyn Kim has a shop that will knock the socks right off of you. She has a Depop shop and a Vinted shop where she sells clothes. 

I’ve been selling for about a year now… I have always experimented with my clothes and doing so requires lots of different phases. So, I had an overflow of clothing items I just never reached for anymore, making me want to start selling my own clothes,” Kaitlyn Kim, a junior at Granite Bay High School, said. “I also just thrifted often and enjoyed finding items even if it didn’t fit my ‘aesthetic.’”
