Prominent local businesswoman Roula Panagiotopoulos has created Leef Luxury, an online luxury goods resale business. The Danforth-area entrepreneur has applied 20 years of fashion and packaged goods knowledge to the new venture. She is former vice president of Cake Beauty Inc, before that an executive at Vital Science and was nominated for the RBC Canadian Women Entrepreneur Award in 2016. The Leef Luxury site is already showing a lot of inventory but Roula is looking for salable goods all the time. A life in business has taught her the need to provide both consignors and consumers with personal service. “People want to interact with us and that is why we connect with people on Facebook and Instagram,” she confides. “Outside of other proprietary strategies we connect with people where they are. We are always looking for items and if you have any luxury designer items, we love to sell them for you,” she says. Facebook Instagram
