Woman makes fortune selling her dirty clothes - including used slippers

An Instagram model with hundreds of thousands of followers is raking in the cash selling off her dirty clothes.

Marcela Alonso, 41, from New York, receives dozens of requests from fans asking to buy her clothes so they can get a piece of their favourite Instagram star.

The model is more than happy to give the fans what they want - sometimes even selling clothes "off her back".

She said: “I’ve had hundreds of requests from fans asking if they can buy my clothes.

"One fan even bought a smelly old sports bra for $240 (£173)."

Marcela said she sometimes offers fans the clothes she's wearing during live chat sessions.

Her used garments go for high prices, with some people paying up to $120 (£86) for her used knickers.

She said: "The dirtier they are, the quicker they go.

"The majority of my outfits from photoshoots sell as soon as I post the photos.

"Fans can’t wait to get their hands on my sexy clothes."

But selling off her clothes is just a side hustle for Marcela, who already makes $200,000 (£144,000) a year - but she still likes to give her followers a treat.

Of all the clothes she's sold off, the strangest item was a pair of slippers a fan asked her to wear around the house for a few months first.

The model said: "I was happy to oblige. I wore them around my house while I relaxed and did some chores.

"The fan was so happy with them.

"I’m not sure if they wanted to wear them but I’ve got quite small feet so I don’t know if they fitted."
