Liz Barbatelli: Designing a Life of Purpose, One Thread at a Time
On this enriching episode of Beyond the Design, host @cray.bflynn sits down with @liz.barbatelli , the force behind @ebraunbeverlyhills , to uncover how her pursuit of excellence transformed luxury linens into a canvas for storytelling, legacy, and intentional living.
Far from a conventional career path, Liz’s journey began on Wall Street—where speed, structure, and sharp instinct ruled her world. But a deeper calling led her into the realm of fine textiles, where she discovered that true luxury is found in craftsmanship, ritual, and connection. At E. Braun, she has cultivated a space where every napkin, pillowcase, and sheet set is designed not just for beauty, but for meaning.
In this powerful conversation, Liz shares how she redefined what it means to live luxuriously—not through opulence, but through care, detail, and authenticity. She brings us into the heart of her creative process, revealing how she sources the world’s most coveted materials, partners with elite designers, and customizes linens that speak to the personal rhythm of each client’s life.
More than design, Liz talks about empowerment—how building a business in a male-dominated industry taught her to lead with clarity and grace, and why she’s passionate about mentoring the next generation of creative entrepreneurs.
If you’ve ever wondered how small details can shape how we feel, rest, and connect—this episode is your invitation to rethink the textures of your life.
