Lusanet Collective is proud to share another exciting media milestone: our Downtown Burbank boutique was featured on NBC Los Angeles as part of a story highlighting Giftphoria, the Los Angeles startup now known as Gallop, and its innovative approach to shopping local with convenient same-day delivery.

The NBC Los Angeles segment, “LA Startup Brings Local Gifts to Your Door in Hours,” explored how technology and local retailers are coming together to make discovering and supporting small businesses easier for Los Angeles shoppers.

As a participating local retailer, Lusanet Collective founders Anet Abnous and Lucy Hacopian were interviewed for the NBC feature, sharing their perspective as small business owners and discussing the importance of making unique, locally sourced gifts more accessible to customers.

Bringing the Lusanet Collective Experience to Customers Across Los Angeles

Located in the heart of Downtown Burbank, California, Lusanet Collective is more than a gift shop. Founded by Anet Abnous and Lucy Hacopian, the boutique was created as a platform where independent designers, artists, artisans, and creative entrepreneurs could showcase their work and connect with a larger audience.

Inside Lusanet Collective, customers can discover a curated selection of unique jewelry, Armenian-inspired gifts, fashion accessories, clothing, art, home décor, and handcrafted products from local and international designers.

Our collaboration with Giftphoria—now Gallop—created another way for customers to discover these independent brands while enjoying the convenience of local delivery.

For small businesses, partnerships like this can help bridge the gap between the personal experience of shopping at a neighborhood boutique and the convenience customers have come to expect from online shopping.

Anet Abnous: Combining Art, Entrepreneurship and Community

The NBC Los Angeles interview also represents another chapter in the entrepreneurial journey of Lusanet Collective co-founder Anet Abnous.

An artist, designer, entrepreneur and founder of Anet’s Collection, Anet Abnous has spent more than a decade building a brand centered around art, storytelling and Armenian cultural heritage. Through Lusanet Collective, she has expanded that mission by creating opportunities for other designers and entrepreneurs to introduce their work to new customers.

Together with co-founder Lucy Hacopian, Anet has helped develop Lusanet Collective into a creative retail destination where shopping, culture, entrepreneurship and community come together.

Media recognition has helped amplify that mission. Lusanet Collective has also received coverage from CBS Los Angeles, FOX 11 Good Day LA and other media outlets for its work supporting independent creators and small businesses.

Supporting Local Businesses—Without Giving Up Convenience

The NBC feature highlights a larger shift happening in Los Angeles retail: customers want convenience, but they also want meaningful products and opportunities to support local businesses.

That is exactly where collaborations between independent stores like Lusanet Collective and local shopping platforms like Gallop can make an impact.

Instead of choosing between shopping small and shopping conveniently, customers can do both.

For Lusanet Collective, this NBC Los Angeles feature is more than a television appearance. It is recognition of the entrepreneurs, artists and independent brands that make local retail special—and another opportunity to introduce the Lusanet Collective story to shoppers throughout Los Angeles and beyond.
