History

[edit]
The Webster Miami storefront.

The Webster was founded in 2008 as a pop-up boutique in Miami by Laure Hériard Dubreuil,[1][2] in a partnership with Frederic Dechnik and Milan Vukmirovic.[3] Dechnik and Vukmirovic are no longer involved in the business.[3]

In 2009 a permanent location opened at South Beach in Miami Beach.[4]

The Webster sells women’s, men’s, and children's ready-to-wear and luxury accessories such as shoes, bags, jewelry and watches.[5][6]

The South Beach flagship is a 20,000-square-foot, three-level store in South Beach’s Art Deco District.[7] The Webster now has nine locations across the United States in South Beach and Bal Harbour, Florida, New York City, New York, Houston, Texas, Miramar, Los Angeles, Palm Springs, and Costa Mesa, California, and Toronto, Canada. Measuring approximately 12,000 square feet, the building, which dates to 1878, features six floors, including a penthouse and a David Mallet salon.[8]

The Webster has collaborated with brands on exclusive products such as Pierre Hardy, Calvin Klein, Anthony Vaccarello, Proenza Schouler, Berluti, and Balenciaga.[9]

In January 2015, The Webster collaborated with Le Bon Marché Paris on a capsule collection for the store’s annual “Month of White.”[10] Laure Heriard-Dubreuil helped design and organize the collection alongside 50 designers, including Louis Vuitton. The collection was sold exclusively at The Webster Miami and Le Bon Marché in Paris.[10] The Webster has recently collaborated with luxury Chinese department store Lane Crawford on an exclusive collection. Over 20 brands, including Coach, Courrèges, Maison Michel, Proenza Schouler, Sonia Rykiel and Thom Browne, have created exclusive products for the collaboration, all inspired by The Webster’s flamingo logo.[11]

In 2025, the British Frasers Group acquired a majority stake in the company.[3] Dubreuil retains a minority shareholding.[12][13]
