Our Team - PRELUV

Stephanie, Founder - Fashion & Finance Expert

Growing up on a Bavarian farm, Stephanie was already drawn into the world of fashion during her school days. Besides school, she worked as a model and, to satisfy her hunger for fashion, in an upscale women's clothing store. She then regularly passed on her preloved clothes at flea markets, while at the same time she was always looking for great and unique vintage pieces herself.

Stephanie completed her studies in International Management almost exclusively abroad - combining studies, career and experience: Australia, Scotland, France, Spain, Ireland and Argentina. She has not only brought back memories, but first-hand fashion knowledge: the colourful influences of South American culture, the grunge style of the Irish and Scots, the elegant chic of French women and the urban casual style of Australians...

After her master's degree, Stephanie worked as an account manager at Google in Ireland, where she was responsible for clients' online marketing strategies and spent her free time in the exceptionally well-stocked Irish second-hand shops.

After years abroad, Stephanie moved back to Munich in 2013, where she worked at Ernst & Young in transaction consulting for e-commerce, internet and tech companies.

Stephanie's permanent search for great second-hand clothing, whether trend brands or designer labels and for the next perfect vintage piece, made PRELUV go from an idea to her own company, which now combines all her experience, her entrepreneurial spirit and her passion for fashion.
