/PROUDLY IN ASSOCIATION WITH COUTURELAB

A portfolio of the world's most talented designers - from the renowned to the undiscovered - CoutureLab sells everything from vintage threads to luxury furnishings. But it's more than just about individual items at this exquisite online shop; it's about lifestyles, whether you're looking for bohemian beauties to fill your hippy existence with or Gothic goods with which to furnish your darkest desires. Unsurprisingly, the site was the brainchild of Venezuelan entrepreneur Carmen Busquets, who was also a founder of Net-A-Porter.com, and is her stiletto-wearing step into the luxury market. Divided into categories, customers can browse through CoutureLab's huge array of limited-edition goods by culture, the name of their favourite artist or designer, and through traditional categories such as woman, man, child, home, jewelery, gifts and vintage. Because CoutureLab is all about promoting the origins of products and showcasing different cultures through design, all items exhibit some kind of traditional craftsmanship or artisan's skill. Rather than following trends or seasons like so many other online stores, CoutureLab sets them. Whatever type of person you are and whatever type of lifestyle you're trying to achieve, you're sure to find it here. We certainly did, and now Gunpowder HQ is a haven of eclectic luxury - just how we like it.
