"I'm a big connection person." — Elizabeth Faraut

Some things are simply meant to be. When Elizabeth Faraut created LA LOOP, she wasn’t just designing a product—she was building a symbol of connection. At its core, LA LOOP keeps you linked—to your glasses, to a community of LOOPERS, and to a network of trusted artisans, collaborators, and business partners who have become like family.

Elizabeth’s journey in fashion began in the 1990s, with roles at Figaro Madame, Guerlain, and GUESS. Her keen eye for style, combined with these experiences, shaped the refined aesthetic of LA LOOP, which she launched in New York in 1999. From the start, LA LOOP was more than an accessory—it was a movement.

Passionate and hands-on, Elizabeth travels the world to meet with LA LOOP’s artisans, source the finest materials, and ensure that every piece reflects her unwavering commitment to quality. But beyond craftsmanship, LA LOOP is rooted in a philosophy of fairness, kindness, and giving back.

A dedicated philanthropist, Elizabeth takes an active role in supporting causes close to her heart. She is a Henry Crown Fellow of the Aspen Institute and a past chair of the board of directors of the Downtown Women's Center in Los Angeles. Through LA LOOP’s Virtuous Loop initiative, she empowers LOOPERS to give back—celebrating and championing their philanthropic efforts as part of a larger, purpose-driven community.
