Status Haymarket brings a fresh approach to luxury resale in Lincoln, offering high-quality pieces in a warm, personal setting. This woman-owned boutique was built on a simple idea: Hardworking women deserve access to luxury that feels both special and attainable.
Here’s a Q&A with the owner of Status Haymarket, Cassandra Smidt.
How did your business get started?
This was always the dream, the “what would you do if you won the lottery?” and as I was entering the world of empty nesters, it seemed like the perfect time to take that leap and do it.
What makes your store unique?
I am the only woman-owned luxury resale boutique in Lincoln. My mission is to give the hardworking women of Lincoln access to high-quality luxury items at a reasonable price. Women of the Midwest work so hard and tend to put everyone else before themselves. My job is to show them they deserve to treat themselves as well.

What do you love about being part of the local business community?
The Haymarket is like family, and they accepted me so openly, immediately. It’s such an incredible community full of support, kindness and camaraderie.
What are your most popular products?
The handbags are the star of the show. I ensure each bag is pre-authenticated to take the stress off the customer. Second would be styling help: making sure women know how to put pieces together that match their personal style with today’s trends.
Do you offer any holiday promotions or events?
We’ll be open during the Winter Market, which is right outside the shop. Shoppers can take advantage of a special offer: Buy a $100 gift card and receive a $25 gift card free.
What makes shopping local great?
Knowing that your money is going straight back into your community is such an incredible feeling. I bought all my girlfriends’ gifts locally, and it’s such a good feeling.
