My version of a 香蕉视频直播榗asual look香蕉视频直播 isn香蕉视频直播檛 sweatpants香蕉视频直播攊t香蕉视频直播檚 a flowy maxi dress and a hat!香蕉视频直播 says Courtney as I meet her at the new, second location of Mine & Yours, which is currently under construction in Yaletown. I香蕉视频直播檓 looking forward to chatting with the woman behind the luxury resale shop, and I start by asking her to describe her personal style.

香蕉视频直播淚 definitely gravitate towards flowy dresses and wear them year round. I love all of the Misa and Zimmermann dresses that come into Mine & Yours香蕉视频直播攊t香蕉视频直播檚 hard for me to not take them all out for a spin! I love experimenting with colours and patterns, and styling with edgy bags.香蕉视频直播

Backtracking a little, Courtney tells me about the path she took that led her to where she is today.

香蕉视频直播淚 moved to Los Angeles to go to the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. I loved LA and ended up staying there and working in many different aspects of the fashion industry, including styling, trend forecasting and wholesale.香蕉视频直播

About 10 years ago Courtney moved back to Vancouver to take over the family business, which was a sawmill. She tells me, 香蕉视频直播淎fter getting a taste for entrepreneurship, I knew I wanted to start a business in the fashion industry and I saw an opportunity in Vancouver for a luxury resale boutique. Luxury resale was gaining popularity in LA, but did not exist yet in Vancouver. I wanted to create a store that showcased designer deals, but that didn香蕉视频直播檛 feel like a secondhand shop.香蕉视频直播

And what does she love most about her work?

香蕉视频直播淢y favourite part about the luxury resale business is getting to do at-home buying appointments with our suppliers. We refer to them as 香蕉视频直播榗loset buys.香蕉视频直播 Not only do I get amazing, designer pieces for Mine & Yours, but I also get to build closer relationships with my community. I also love helping clients find and purchase their first-ever luxury designer bag. It香蕉视频直播檚 such a special moment that I香蕉视频直播檓 very grateful to be a part of!香蕉视频直播
