City you live in: Scottsdale
A typical day in my life includes… Complete chaos. One moment, I am wiping hands and picking up kids from school; the next, I am closing a deal buying 40 Chanel bags from someone. Never a dull moment around here!
I was born… Michigan!
My favorite thing about Arizona… The hustle! This city is full of opportunities and has seen a ton of growth in the last decade. If you have the drive, you can make it happen here!
I’m listening to… Myself more than ever before. I think it’s a combination of age and experience. But if I have to second-guess something, it’s just not for me.
My family… Is my everything. You can put any fancy title behind my name, and I can win every accomplishment in the books, but raising good kids with integrity, kindness, and a passion for life is what I’ll be most proud of.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… That’s a tough one, but I think Coco Chanel would be really interesting. She had a very colorful life, and she came from nothing and built an incredible brand that’s still strong a century-plus later.
One thing I cannot live without… Bottled water.
When I was younger, I wanted to be… I always knew I wanted to be my own boss. I didn’t know I would sell luxury handbags, that’s for sure, but it’s been a wild, crazy journey, and I am so thankful and humbled to be where I am today.
I’m inspired by… The younger generation of females with drive and passion to do something BIG! I am so flattered when people ask me to share my store with the younger generation to encourage them to strive for greatness. I believe so much in them and know if they just believe in themselves, it’s possible. Listen, none of this was handed to me. I went through, and at times continue to go through, trials and tribulations, but one thing I didn’t do was give up, and that’s a big reason I am where I am today.
The person/people who motivate(s) me is/are… My kids! I want them to see that their mom is a hustler, yet still involved with their day-to-day lives, and that you can be an awesome mother and successful business owner at the same time. It takes a lot of consistency, flexibility, and grace, but it is possible.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… People having true happiness and kindness. My heart breaks for those who can’t find that in life. Listen, nobody and nothing is perfect, but just try to find a sliver of happiness or good out of something or someone. It goes a long way!
The perfect day would be… Wake up in NYC, breakfast at Bergdorf Goodman, provide me with an unlimited Amex for the day, and let a girl LIVE her luxury-loving life!
My first job was… Boys and Girls Club Rose Lane Custodial Engineer, AKA I cleaned toilets and all the grossness that happens when you’re in a building full of hundreds of kids! I luved every minute of it and took great pride in it!
My favorite escape… Shopping solo for a couple of hours and not answering my phone really fills my cup!
My life… Is incredible! It’s wild and stressful at times. I jam my schedule so full it’s ridiculous at times. But I thrive in the chaos and remind myself how blessed I am to have this life!
I’m currently working on… Taking Luv Luxe to the next level! We continue to level up every year and push the limits, but I want to continue striving for greatness and never lose the excitement of it all!
Always… Give yourself grace. Know even the best at times struggle! Everything can’t be a win.
Never… Change who you are! Cheesy, I know, but true. Eventually, you’ll find your people, and they will love you for who you are.
Favorite Quote… “Dreams don’t work unless you do.”
Biggest Dream… Have Luv Luxe become a publicly traded company.
My Pet Peeve(s)… Dirty fingernails, the “word” LOL, and bad breath. Put those three together, and I’ll pass out!
Bio-on yourself/company: My name is Sydnie, and I’m the proud founder and owner of Luv Luxe, the ultimate destination for luxury handbag resale, located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona.
At Luv Luxe, we specialize in buying and selling authentic, pre-luved designer handbags while redefining what it means to shop luxury resale. What truly sets us apart is our unique, personalized shopping experience—one that is far from what you might traditionally expect from a resale boutique. We bring the sophistication and elevated service of luxury retail into a welcoming, approachable, and anything-but-stuffy environment.
My mission has always been to create more than just a place to shop. I wanted to build a destination where luxury feels inviting, individuality is celebrated, and exceptional service is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s your first designer handbag or your next addition to a growing collection, every customer and every purchase, big or small, deserves to feel special.
