Our Story

AT STYLETRIBUTE, WE GET YOU — BECAUSE WE WERE BUILT BY WOMEN JUST LIKE YOU.
Our Founder Stephanie Crespin, just like all women, was confronted with the same problem: a desire to shop versus the sight of an overcrowded closet. To buy or not to buy? The big moral dilemma brought life to the early concept of what would manifest as StyleTribute's unique perspective, sell what you own and buy what you want. Cashing out your wardrobe to fund your next trend obsession purchase was an ingenious concept that Stephanie took as her lifelong conquest to achieve. After hundreds of walk-in wardrobe visits and closet-stalking amid the city's well-heeled, the humble beginnings of StyleTribute transgressed from the kitchen of Stephanie's personal home to her first warehouse.

Buyers, on the other hand, are tech and fashion-savvy but not always in a financial position to buy new. The era of smart fashion is about to dawn, and StyleTribute is right there to help you monetize it.
