Laura Weber was interested in design from a young age. She studied fashion at the National College of Art & Design in Ireland where she specialized in textiles and embellishment. Upon graduation, she moved to London in 2012 and worked in business management for London Fashion Week. Missing the hands-on creativity of designing and making, Laura moved to New York City in 2013 to begin a new adventure.

Before opening her own company, Laura worked in factories in the garment centre. Today, her company LW Pearl offers couture, premium services to fashion designers where they interpret a designer’s vision with gorgeous, bespoke stitching, beading and other embellishments. Heading up a team of craftspeople, each with specific skillsets, Laura’s team compliments the vision and design of top designers. Hand work with meticulous attention to detail, the application of cutting-edge materials and sophisticated design ensure Laura and LW Pearl have become the first choice of premium designers.

Laura balances the skills of creativity with incredible business acumen. She has plans to develop new markets for LW Pearl in both the US and overseas. Laura finds great satisfaction in raising awareness to the craft and tradition of hand-crafted stitching and bespoke embellishments.
