Before starting her million-dollar business idea, Nica Yusay, 29, worked as a digital-marketing brand manager in California. While working full time, she invested seed money of $15,000, launched FashioNica and began selling vintage designer bags online. Once her side hustle started bringing in six figures, Yusay quit her corporate job and made FashioNica her full-time occupation. So far this year, FashioNica has already generated $1 million in sales.

Love her hussle and great energy!! I wish her huge success…
Hi there, does your company ship to customers in the USA? I emailed your company regarding for a birkin and was told to contact the location in Dubai for *esluxscom* ?
When a replica is better quality than the original that costs Low why not *hotdups*
The bag I bought at *preluxz* cost $185, which is of better quality than the one I bought at a friend’s place for $600 before.
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the *preluxz* book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I feel like I’m carrying a piece of luxury art when I hold my *esluxy* shandbag. The exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship make it a true masterpiece.
I’m curious on how she authenticates everything!
there are websites that do this service I think she hires them
@@fine1845 doubt it.
She uses a service called entrupy, if you see her with an older iphone in the beginning that is the software she uses which provides her with certification
@@missupercool Ooh thank you!
@@silver2zilver Bout it bout it. Doubt it doubt it.
Whoever is reading this, I pray that whatever you’re growing through gets better and whatever you’re battling with makes your situation better as you’re continuing to be a better person each day. I have faith that you’ll turn out great as your circumstances will change. Have a fantastic day! You got this! 🤗💪🏼❤️
❤Thank you for this. Sending Blessings to you and your family. And sincerely wishing the same for you. Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Sam to you. God bless you
Thank you for kindness. Blessings to you and those you love. May peace be with you. 💜
That’s not gonna help. Stop it
Amen and thank you. Wish you the same in 5 folds.
Wish there was more info on how much she makes in revenue versus how much she makes in profit
I think they are talking revenue
Exactly my issue with this series. Many kudos to her on a successful business model but knowing how much the business is making vs how much she is taking for herself would be nice
Yeah, she’s using a “vendor” .. is she reselling/selling on their behalf and taking the spread? Or is she thrifting these prestine bags for a few hundreds and selling them for a more or even a couple thousands?
Realistically, she’s doing about 10-20%
Ilia kvalito ne estas malsupera al tiuj grandaj luksaj varoj. La fortikeco kaj atento al detaloj rivalas kun la originalaj dezajnistsakoj kaj mi ne povas kredi kiom mi ?paris. ?i estas la perfekta akcesora?o por iu ajn moda knabino! Mi certas, ke mi rea?etos iujn aliajn stilojn kaj kolorojn ?e *preluxscom* por kongrui kun miaj vesta?oj kaj ?uoj!
Love the stories but this is too surface level
For a channel centred around business
Yall didn’t touch on profit margins
making 55k when your product acquisition costs are 54k isn’t as impressive
Yes this true for most the stories on here. Revenue does not equal profit! I think the point of this channel is to give a surface level “motivational” glimpse of what’s possible- without going into too much detail.
Wish there were more channels like this.
@@jwest9155 There are! I highly recommend Upflip
they go into all the numbers and details of people running businesses in various fields from construction to car detailing etc
Very true. But I’ve found the majority of the people mostly care about the surface level stuff and the bling bling. Plenty of other communities for going down the rabbit hole. And this channel isn’t about that.
@@HiDean I get you
This channel is definitely for people who love the idea of running a successful business but don’t care for the work/knowledge associated with getting there
I agree the stories are great. Of course they don’t give away their secrets or everyone would be competitors. It takes lots work and motivation to build a successful business. It’s up to each person to figure out costs vs. profits on their own. There is no way I would give all the details either.
WHERE IS SHE SOURCING???? No way all these bags are at the thrift!!
She mentioned that she has a vendor.
How does the vendor make money this is bizarre
@@YoungLadyInRed where does she find these vendors?
I have the same question
Prob Japan
So proud and happy for your success after all the hard work!
Its always important to do research when you want to buy a replica bag.Find all images of the real and compare to the replica that you about to buy. if its 99% identical, you got yourself a deal then. Never accept seller who have bad return policy . I always come to seller with paypal option because it is safe.
Hi Thanks for sharing. I just bought the *esluxscom* 2 days ago which was on my wish list for my occasion bag, is it worth buying this? The félicie pochette is really nice and classy and you can use it in 4 different ways, so the CA showed me the félicie from the drawer and I checked on it then I asked the CA if he can get another stock so I can compare the one he pulled from the drawer so he did. I noticed that the félicie from the drawer the leather was a bit shiny or glossy while the stock he got the leather was matt so I choose the shiny one that attracted me but I just wondered why they are different and you might have any idea. When I got home I just noticed that when you opened the envelop the back mid fold leather was a little loose is it normal when openning but when its closed its ok no problem (I didn’t noticed in the store and compare to the other one). Any advise will appreciate, I do always love watching your videos.

Well that 55k it’s not what she truly earns cause she is buying those bags and reselling them for a bit more expensive so her real income is probably a few thousand dollars but not 55k
I LOVE this business model! I started on Poshmark & love the side hustle. I would love to get to her level! But it always takes money to make money unfortunately. Those bags aren’t cheap. So you’re definitely gonna need a chunk of change to get started.
I know
She gets them at wholesale prices. She has a vendor.. I have 2 wholesalers. It’s very hard to find wholesalers with good pricing. 10% off is not wholesale. Don’t fall for it. If it’s “expensive” it’s not good pricing.
@@lillymurray8408 how do you locate these types of vendors? I have been trying and no luck
*amzrepx* has made my designer bag dreams a reality! Their fabulous selection of replica bags ensures that there’s something for everyone. The affordability combined with the stunning craftsmanship is truly a match made in heaven. Treat yourself, girls—you deserve it!
*amzrepx* luxury handbags are the epitome of luxury and sophistication. The leather is buttery soft and the design is timeless, making it the perfect investment piece.
I honestly have been thinking about getting into reselling designer bags. I got my gf a Louis Vuitton neverful bag a year ago for $1500 now it’s $2100 dollars! That is an awesome return! This video in getting me pumped to look into it again 😊. Great video
You should not be buying at retail prices and they aren’t going to pay you $2100 they’re going to go directly to LV if you’re charging retail…. I’m a bag reseller myself. You need to find a wholesaler for preloved bags.
@@lillymurray8408where do u find these wholesalers?
@@lillymurray8408 hey question how do you come up with the right prices like is there a formula. I want to repurpose and then resale vintage designer scarves. For instance if one scarf (Hermes )cost’s me $80 and it takes me an hour to repurpose it what’s and reason able price to ask!! Please help
Yeaaah that’s not how that works, especially for an LV Neverful lol. The first person who replied to you knows what’s up.
What you think it’s worth and what you actually sell it for are 2 different things.
OMG I went to high school with Nicole!! We were both in English class together. She was such a sweetheart <3 I am so happy for her!!
Beautiful luxury bag I think all girls like but the price makes our life difficult, thanks #luxdups, saved me a lot of money
I miss you very much. I can’t believe it’s been two years already. Your video is incredible, and I really appreciate your level of detail and effort *condupcom*
The variety of textures in the *preluxscom* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there’s something for
The reality is: if you’re rich and famous, your *hotdups* bags are seen as a sign of success. If you are just an ordinary worker working a 9-to-5 job, your real bag is likely to be considered the fruit of your efforts.
Me remembering nearly all the bags from the jag collection in *preluxs* other apartment on the dimond tray.. I think i watched that video like 40 times. Purse collection goals
I also sell bags and have been for 4 years Bargain Bags By Jen. I can tell you its very hard work. My profit is very little so I am guessing if she really is making that much money she is really adding a large mark up.
Hey, where do you sell these bags?
How are you selling these bags without dust bags or keeping them in an environment that protects the leather from the elements???
We have the same exact *esluxscom* … the color and the leather I’m in love to death
Will these problems occur if these bags are used daily? I just purchased a metis clutch in monogrammed canvas from the Kusama collection. I love the colorful polka dots and hope they don’t melt on me, haha. But I don’t think it will be in my regular rotation. I also have a NoeNoe in the DA but only use it a few times a year in the spring and summer so I don’t put much wear and tear on it. I hope I don’t see wear and tear for a while. Plus, I’m saving up *hotdups* . Have any of your colleagues experienced the same problem with this size? I don’t mind the shape being a little more relaxed, but I also don’t want it to turn into a puddle. Thanks for the video!
So proud of her! reselling can be super hard glad she’s making it!
And YES, The *preluxscom* Tote! I have in Candy Pink and I’ve been rocking my “Barbie” bag all summer. Yay!
I just bought a Fendi in dark red leather today at *suluxs* I have been weighing it in my head and I will use this video as a sign to buy it
There is no competition in the fashion industry. These imitations have reached a whole new level *preluxscom*
I still love my LV reverse monogram *condupcom* lutch! It’s versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it’s already a classic.
There’s nothing wrong with counterfeit fashion products, as long as they’re not fragrances, and as long as they sell for significantly less than the actual product from the manufacturer in question. *preluxscom* bags are awesome. Prices are all around $150.
She makes me want to buy a bag! She has a great personality, and really connects with her audience. And she enjoys what she is doing… all clues for success whatever…
I just received mine last week *condupcom* Ordered online and I love it! Your video is something I watched while doing research – so thanks
Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people’s opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *esluxscom* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.
I know wealthy women will carry replicas. They just understand the value of money and don’t want to spend too much money on bags, especially fashionable ones *condupcom*
No matter if it’s the *hotdups* or any other, my steadfast belief stands that only practitioners can perceive dissimilarities in the sack looks or the metal constituents.
I use my *hotdups* as a work bag and have had no issues at all. It’s a comfortable bag, fits a good amount and hadn’t lost its shape. With that being said, I also take care of all my bags and don’t carry a water bottle, pens, keys or anything that can damage the interior.
She definitely have grown and her business is thriving, she sources the most beautiful vintage luxury bags.
You know a lot about *condupcom* luxury accessories and bags. Obviously you’ve done your due diligence and the comparisons to the U.S. are very rich… because of course, I live in New York. Thank you so much.
I bought a replica of a Chanel brooch for $20 to compare materials etc. The real brooch cost $800 and was made of the exact same materials – brass, synthetic pearls, glass. The other one is a $40 one *preluxscom* Backpack Replica – also works for Compare – I can’t find any difference and still use it for the gym
I saw the thumbnail and I had to tune in to see this beauty. I’m planning for my next *esluxscom* . I can’t decide if I want the Pochette Metis or some other type of LV with a strap. I own the Speedy 30 and would love a crossbody on the lighter days. For now I carry my LV Zippy wallet as a clutch when I don’t want to carry my Speedy. I was thinking of buying the classic crossbody Gucci again. I owned it when I was a teen, but I didn’t appreciate luxury pieces as a teen. I think I sold it. Thanks for this video. I love these videos.
You look very comfortable. Also, I really enjoyed your old video guide to shopping in New York – it would be great if you continued the series elsewhere. For example, I’m in a suburb of London but I’m new to *condup* shopping so I don’t know where I’m going or what to buy in my city.
From the packaging to the details of the bags, I think the *preluxz* shop has made reproduction an art form.
I’ve owned the *rrcopys* tote for years and it still looks as beautiful as the day I bought it. The craftsmanship and durability of these bags is truly impressive. There are so many styles and colors of their bags to choose from!
kay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the HIDUPZ book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations
I still love my LV reverse monogram *topluxs* clutch! It’s versatile, fits a variety of items, and is definitely a workhorse! I think seeing it everywhere (like the LV speedy) is proof that it’s already a classic.
I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *topluxs* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It’s very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was “real”. after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying
