Frasers Group has taken a decisive step into the North American luxury market by acquiring a majority stake in The Webster, the Miami-born, multibrand luxury retailer renowned for its curated fashion experiences. While financial terms were not disclosed, founder and CEO Laure Hériard Dubreuil will retain a significant share and continue steering the brand through its next growth phase.
Founded in 2008, The Webster began as a 20,000-square-foot flagship in Miami’s South Beach, transforming a historic Art Deco hotel into a boutique environment that felt more like a private residence than a store. Hériard Dubreuil’s vision of fashion as a personalized wardrobe, blending brands by mood and lifestyle, has propelled The Webster into a powerful retail platform spanning 13 stores across North America, including New York, Las Vegas, and Austin.
Today, The Webster showcases over 100 global luxury houses, from Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent to Loewe, Bottega Veneta, and The Row, covering womenswear, menswear, jewellery, home, and beauty.
Under this partnership, The Webster will continue to operate as a standalone entity within Frasers Group’s luxury division, which also includes Flannels. This acquisition marks Frasers Group’s first foray into the North American market, reinforcing CEO Michael Murray’s “Elevation Strategy” to expand the Group’s global luxury footprint.
With The Webster’s creative and insider influence combined with Frasers Group’s operational expertise, this collaboration promises to redefine luxury retail — a seamless fusion of Miami cool and Manchester muscle.
