Life & Work with Murisa Stenke of Phoenix

Today we’d like to introduce you to Murisa Stenke

Hi Murisa, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Let’s talk about luxury. What does it mean to you? When I was a little girl, my idea of luxury was never having to wear the same outfit twice. It’s a shared dream, one I’ve heard countless times from people of all ages from all over the world who come from different cultural and economic backgrounds. I started in retail at 18 and worked with billion dollar brands to small businesses, and style consulting on my own. Fashion brings us together in such a beautiful way, and my life’s work is dedicated to helping foster that connection.
Fashion is art, and art deserves to be celebrated, loved and passed on. A good brand not only makes good products, but tells a story with what they give us. Some of these stories are classic, some are modern, some are familiar, some are rare; some are one of a kind. A good story, and good art, is meant to be shared. Economically and sustainably, the dream of having a different outfit every day has historically been unrealistic for most people. In the last few years, however, we’ve found a creative way around that. By now, we’re all familiar with big name luxury resale companies, and in their early days, they were a game changer for fashion-loving people like you and me. But times change, and so should we. Unfortunately, the bigger these companies get, the more their business model becomes unfavorable to those of us who celebrate fashion. As a result, the luxury resale model has trended toward people making less and paying more, and that’s not how things should be. So what’s the fix?
That’s where Kenny and His creation of The Road comes in, and I quickly joined him to service the Phoenix/ Scottsdale area, I have had clients and ran businesses here since 2009, moving full time to Phoenix in 2018. We live and breathe fashion and love nothing more than sharing with everyone. Our mission is to recapture the spirit of what luxury resale is meant to be; an opportunity for people to share fashion. We know our clients, we know what they like, we know what suits them best. In the era of big companies taking huge consignments for luxury items, we’re here to serve as a more personable alternative.
follow us at The Road Luxury, and see how it stands out from the rest!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
We have so much fun, but constantly learning and pivoting to clients needs!

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I love women finding pieces that last and look great on them, teaching them to dress for body type. It’s not just about the clothes, it’s how you make people feel! All our clients are special to us!

What matters most to you?
When I feel I make a difference, there’s more confidence in my clients life, and they feel they got a great value for timeless pieces.
