Laure Heriard Dubreuil

Laure Heriard Dubreuil, Founder and CEO of The Webster, brought French sophistication to South Beach, Miami, by opening her iconic boutique in June 2009. Leaving her roots in Paris, Laure embarked on an adventure amid a retail crisis driven by her passion for fashion. She fell in love with Miami’s energy and found her calling in creating The Webster during Art Basel.

Growing up in Paris and Cognac, Laure’s love for sun and water evolved from holidays in Corsica. Initially aspiring to be a nose and craft fragrances, her journey shifted to the fast-paced world of fashion. With degrees in business and Mandarin, Laure honed her skills in NYC, contributing to Balenciaga and later becoming head merchandiser at Yves Saint Laurent.

Laure’s career includes impressive stints at top French luxury houses, paving the way for The Webster’s collaborations with sought-after brands. The boutique’s charm lies in Laure’s rule-breaking merchandising, creating a vibrant atmosphere. From its South Beach origin, The Webster expanded to ten boutiques, embodying Laure’s distinctive style across the US and beyond.

Balancing her French heritage with the American dream, Laure’s positive outlook drives The Webster’s success. Beyond fashion, she actively supports Mothers 2 Mothers, aiming to eliminate HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa. Residing in Miami with her family, Laure leads The Webster into new territories. The recent Palm Beach pop-up signals continued growth and innovation.
