Entrepreneur inspired during cancer treatment to sell celebrities’ unwanted clothes online launches eBay boutique selling preloved clothes for charity
A business consultant who had a “lightbulb moment” during breast cancer treatment began selling celebrities’ unwanted outfits online – and now has a popular boutique selling preloved clothes for charity.
Founder of Worn By Us, Nicola Gleave, 49, has had preloved clothes donated by famous faces like Colleen Rooney, Jacqueline Gold, Lorraine Kelly, Katie Piper and Peter Andre, which she then sold on – donating some of the proceeds to their chosen charities.
Her eBay shop also now provides a welcome side hustle for people wanting to downsize their wardrobe and make some extra cash, by receiving a proportion of the sale as well as giving Nicola an agreed fee and making a donation to good causes.
Nicola, who lives in The Wirral, Merseyside, with her children Jack, 18, Sophie, 13, and her husband Andy, 52, who works with her, said: “Having breast cancer hit me hard.
“I had a driving force to do something big to raise awareness, so creating this business was a real lightbulb moment for me.
