we market the organizations and designers we work with by adding them to our mailing list and promoting them on our various social media platforms.

Make your fundraising a memorable event and join our collective.

Lusanet Collective is a creative hub and retail space launched by Lusine Simonyan and Anet Abnous, two business owners with a vision of connecting founders and creators with opportunities to network, create, and promote their businesses through every stage of development and growth.

 As entrepreneurs themselves, Lusine and Anet have encountered the highs and lows of transforming their passions into professional pursuits and possess a variety of experiences gained by developing, launching, and expanding their own businesses. With those experiences in mind, Lusanet Collective aims to resolve the challenges faced by small and growing businesses.

Featuring a retail space that showcases items for sale, Lusanet Collective also seeks to serve the creative community as an idea-exchange platform, a resource bank, an exhibition venue, and, most importantly, a gathering of like-minded creative professionals who will come together as part of a nurturing and encouraging environment focused on business development and professional and personal growth.

Through monthly pop-ups and curated events, members of the collective, which will include artists, designers, and business owners, will gain access to new audiences and critical resources that will elevate their businesses and brands and enable them to discover new partnerships with investors, manufacturers, and developers. As the community grows, the collective will foster the personal connections that will support, empower, and guide business owners as they discover the endless opportunities available to them.

Lucine Simonyan - Lusanet Collective

 

In 2019, Lusine Simonyan launched Miray Collections, an online marketplace that represented more than 40 Armenian artists, fashion  designers, and jewelry makers from around the world. Driven by her unwavering passion and determination, Lucy embarked on a journey to empower artists and showcase their unique, sustainable creations on a global scale. Her venture, Miray Collections, served as more than just a retail platform for Armenian goods; it became a pathway for artistic growth and entrepreneurship, particularly for Armenian women.

In addition to loving numbers, Lucy is very involved in the community. She serves as a treasurer in Burbank Armenian Association board and in Zonta Club of Burbank. In 2021 she was nominated for the 32nd Annual Women Achievers Award.

In 2022, Lusine Simonyan and Anet Abnous, joined forces to transform the digital dream into a tangible reality. The result is the “Lusanet Collective,” a brick-and-mortar store that stands as a testament to their shared commitment to supporting artists and artisans. In this new chapter, Lucy and Anet bring the dreams into the physical world, providing a space where artists’ high-quality, sustainable creations can be experienced firsthand by a broader audience. Just as before, their mission remains grounded in the belief that artistry and entrepreneurship can flourish hand in hand, fostering opportunities and growth for creative individuals, particularly women.
