Sheyla with Ambassador Sonia Guzman of The Dominican Republic
The Woman Behind DC's Top Fashion Destination
Sheyla Difo Voye has 25 years of experience as a store owner, fashion stylist, and Saks Fifth Avenue sales pro. In 2021, Sheyla seized the opportunity to open Sheyla Vie (the name is inspired by the famous French term "c'est la vie" which means "seize the day") in the former Nordstrom Rack building in Chevy Chase, DC closed during the Covid pandemic.
Her mission? To bring the distinctive, fun, high-fashion designs from the world's most cosmopolitan cities to the women of DC. Using her base of extensive contacts in design and fashion and a loyal client list - Sheyla brought Sheyla Vie Collections to life.
Originally from the Dominican Republic, Sheyla worked as a flight attendant for Dominican Airlines where she had the opportunity to experience a diverse world of fashion across the globe. She relocated to the United States to pursue her dream of being an entrepreneur. Her first foray into the fashion world was a children's clothing store that she founded, eventually opening 16 clothing stores spanning children's, women's, and men's apparel.
After a bad divorce, Sheyla “lost everything,” including the retail store she’d run for years, but she was determined not to let that hardship keep her down. So in 2019, she set up a mobile fashion store from a used truck parked at Shirlington Village.
Sheyla poured her soul into the new business, resulting in Sheyla Vie Collections—a unique shopping experience unlike any other.
When you visit Sheyla Vie Collections, you'll also support a local, woman-owned business. Sheyla is often in the store and would welcome the opportunity to serve you.
