By Aarin Burch–
Please save some time in your calendar because I am excited to extend a heartfelt invitation to you.
On Saturday and Sunday, March 1–2 from 11 am to 5 pm, we‘re hosting one last celebration at our beautiful Laurel Burch Studios store for friends and family, and I would be absolutely delighted if you could join us.
This special gathering is prompted by the news I received last week that our Berkeley building is being sold, and so our Laurel Burch Studios offices and online store will be moving to a new Oakland location on March 31, 2025.
When I first moved my company to this amazing Berkeley location, it was my dream to also open an art-filled retail store inspired by my mother Laurel’s Carmel and Sausalito boutiques. I filled it to overflowing with her colorful original paintings and a treasure trove of her designs old and new for others to immerse themselves in her bright, joyful art and vision.
We opened in March 2020, just as the pandemic was unfolding and we had to pivot quickly—creating masks to keep our doors open and our team employed. From there, we’ve hosted numerous sales, happy hours, exhibits, workshops, and even had the honor of painting a vibrant mural outside our door that brightened the block and gave everyone something to marvel at.
Now, we’re celebrating the good times with this one final farewell celebration and sale this weekend—Saturday–Sunday, March 1–2! Keeping my mother’s legacy and this business alive can be challenging—we’re sad to move but excited for what comes next in this ongoing adventure. It would be so wonderful to celebrate this beautiful space with you.
Though our brick-and-mortar store will close on March 15, don’t worry. Our Laurel Burch Studios online store is very much alive! We’ll continue to offer favorite designs and exciting new collections at

And we’re already planning fabulous Laurel Burch pop-ups in Berkeley and around the Bay Area. Thank you for being a part of our journey!
