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.

 

 

MEET THE FOUNDERS

 

Lusine Simonyan

 

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.

Lusine has a Master's Degree in Accounting and Finance from French University in Armenia and works as a Senior Accountant in Downtown Los Angeles. 

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.

 

Anet Abnous

Anet Abnous is a visionary artist, creative director, and CEO of Anet’s Collection, a renowned fashion and accessories brand celebrated for its art-inspired, Armenian-influenced designs. Founded in 2015 and inspired by her tailor father, Anet’s creations fuse cultural heritage with luxury aesthetics, gracing museum stores, Europeanshowrooms, and curated retail outlets worldwide. Her jewelry and accessories are sold in prestigious institutions such as the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Armenian Museum of America, and the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan , to name a few.

In August 2025, Anet was appointed to the Museum Store Association Educational Advisory Board for a two-year term, further amplifying her influence in shaping museum retail and supporting creative entrepreneurs. She was also honored on the field during the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team match against Brazil, representing both Anet’s Collection and Lusanet Collective in collaboration with Bank of America Seneca Women, spotlighting women-owned businesses on a national stage.

Her impact extends globally. On a recent trip to Armenia, Anet was interviewed by Radio Van, where she shared her ten-year journey as an artist and designer while addressing manufacturing challenges and growth opportunities for Armenian brands entering the American market.

Anet’s professional background is as multidimensional as her artistry: she studied Fine Arts at CUNY–Queens College, trained in fashion design in Iran, and earned a Business Certificate from Cornell University’s Bank of America Institute for Women’s Entrepreneurship through a Tory Burch Foundation grant.

As co-founder of Lusanet Collective in Downtown Burbank, Anet merges artistry with business strategy to create a platform supporting over 100 local and international creators. The Collective has been featured on CBS–KCAL and FOX 11–Good Day LA, recognized as a hub for community, culture, and unique gifting.

Beyond her design career, Anet is committed to the arts and community advocacy. She joined the Burbank Art Commission in 2023, lending her distinct perspective and deep network to enrich the local creative scene.

Whether through her wearable art, her entrepreneurial ventures, or her role as a cultural ambassador, Anet Abnous continues to inspire globally—championing artisans, amplifying underrepresented voices, and redefining the intersection of art, fashion, and community.
