Sydnie Cadenas, the visionary behind Luv Luxe Authentic Handbag Resale, kicked off her career more than a decade ago when she started working for a luxury retailer as a handbag specialist. Through this trade, she found her love of all things fashion, but it wasn’t until she purchased her own designer bag that she realized her calling. After buying the damaged designer bag, Sydnie took it upon herself to learn how to resell it.
That first sale revealed that the market was missing a luxury resale option, so Sydnie decided to open her own boutique. Luv Luxe is a leading independent curator of authentic luxury handbags and accessories in the secondary market. The business creates a unique and unforgettable shopping experience by combining the two powerful worlds of love and luxury with an affordable approach.
“When I started Luv Luxe years ago, I saw a missing opportunity in the resale market, and that was creating a clean transaction of buying from individuals outright, meaning they were paid upfront and a clean transaction versus waiting for their item to sell to get paid like most consignment business models do,” Cadenas said. “Years later, we are still practicing this business model.”
To authenticate bags, Luv Luxe analyzes multiple aspects of the product: stamping, stitching, hardware, authenticity stamps, date codes, serial numbers (where applicable), materials and craftsmanship. The company also works with third-party authenticators when an item requires an extra review.
“It’s been a pleasure to grow this business,” Sydnie said. “I look forward to what the future holds for Luv Luxe.”
The company’s confidence in its bags is proven with a lifetime warranty policy if the bag a customer purchases proves non-authentic. Luv Luxe currently buys items from 23 different designer brands, which can be found in their Designer Directory. Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Gucci, Burberry, Miu Miu, and Prada are among those brands.
Those looking to sell items to Luv Luxe must schedule an appointment, during which experts will examine the bag’s authenticity. If the company is interested, sellers will be paid immediately. Luv Luxe also has an online quote form for those unsure about parting with some of their designer items. Items can be purchased online or at the flagship store in Scottsdale at 7111 E 5th Ave. For more information, visit luvluxe.com.
