Who We Are

A Short History


In 1999, twenty-something Erinn Berkson decided it was time to throw caution to the wind and open up shop on Abbot Kinney in Venice, CA.  Back then, the street was hardly a destination for tourists and tastemakers like it is today, and consisted of your typical assortment of eateries, a few vintage furniture stores, a coffee shop, a clothing store and not a gift store in sight. Operating on instinct and intuition, Erinn spotted an empty space that had fallen into disrepair and enthusiastically signed a lease on the spot. With blood, sweat, tears, plenty of tacos and beer, she transformed the space into a light-filled, neighborhood haven. Over the years, as Venice experienced immense growth and development, so too did her business. After expanding into multiple doors, she rebranded her outposts with the name Burro, a nod to the “hard-working, loyal burro pioneering across the desert landscape carrying goods from all over.” Drawing inspiration from the American West, Burro is a one-stop shop for well-curated goods: stunning stationery, trinkets for friends (or lovers), coffee table companions, handcrafted accessories and wares for hearth and home. An artist and bohemian at heart, Erinn has always had a keen eye for the distinctive and has been (and still is) a champion of local, handmade, artisanal wares before it was trending.  As resilient as the California landscape (and the loyal Burro itself), her shop stands today as one of the last independently owned locales on Abbot Kinney. Explore the magic of Burro online anywhere, anytime. Happy Travels, friends.
