So humbled you are here reading this story… I am the person who can spend all day enjoying and working with luxury fashion and who cringes when I need to talk about myself. However, I do love sharing why Style and Give found a place in this crazy digital World.
~ How Rachel, a woman who has spent her entire life living and working in the luxury industry and Pete, a man whose life always served in others and nonprofits.
Since we are all friends here, a little background on us…We met many years ago - Living in the same neighborhood community and our families became very close. Like many families and friends do, we vacationed together and shared some wonderful memories . In life… change happens. There were many moves over the years, some job changes and our children grew fast…too fast. Early this year a series of synchronicities ultimately led us back together to start this business.
Is that enough…probably not! ;)
Let’s go back a bit…
When I thought back to many years ago to one specific vacation our families took together to NYC, I immediately realized how and why Style and Give manifested so quickly.. Looking back a decade or so ago I can’t help but think about this trip…Why did we pick NYC and why did we take a trip to spend the majority of time shopping? We checked out a lot of resale shops for good deals, hitting all the top shopping destinations one might want to hit while visiting the city….it wasn't only about shopping we are avid theater goers so we did a broadway show, took a pizza tour and did not miss out on the NYC bakery scene . We had no idea that the trip to NYC so very long ago would really be this life changing.
We met in a community and our families have continued to form what we consider a lifelong friendship. Now we are here to help unite communities through the reselling of pre-loved luxury items and while doing so give back to charities in need. As we stated in our vision we believe individuals can make a difference…a community can make a change.
We want you to be a part of our community and we want to work together to promote positive change through selling and giving.
Let’s work together to make change!

Rachel, thank you for the wonderful summary of our friendship. I was honored when you asked me to be part of your dream of Style and Give. It was a simple yes. Now I am excited to see the joy of our clients and the impact Style and Give will have on so many charities. An impact that will help and impact our planet.
Kindly,
Pete
