About Our Designers

Known as Burro & Donkey, our amazing designers have been able to encapsulate that elusive spirit of California

Laurie Brazeau, born in Los Angeles and raised in Oaxaca, Mexico, became enthralled with the fine-gage knits while living in France. Infinitely more glamorous, elegant, and diverse than the pervading sweater knits of America, they opened her eyes to the possibility of reinterpreting fashion usually showcased in woven styles through comfortable, wearable knits. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandizing in Los Angeles, she founded her first label, Brazeau Tricot in 1991. Five years later she debuted Laurie B.

LA native, Andrea Zuckerman came on board in 2018, and with her came a new fresh outlook. She is an experienced Interior Designer based in Malibu, celebrated for her elegant but fun, eclectic style. Her work is seen in houses from San Francisco to Mexico. She is an excellent curator, and is able to bring her “Quiet Style” to the designs of Brazeau Tricot. The partnership took off and together the ladies have gone from strength to strength.

The current line, Brazeau Tricot, launched Fall 2018 featuring women’s knits, luxurious silks and 100% finest cashmere. The styles are simultaneously forward-thinking and vintage-inspired. As luxurious to the hand as they are to the eye, each of Brazeau’s pieces are made from the finest yarns and natural fibers, including combed cotton, cashmere blends and washed silk with cotton. Because Brazeau believes that fit makes all the difference, each of their pieces are easy to wear, fun, flirty and anything but basic.
