Couverture & The Garbstore UK Affiliate Program

Program review

Situated in the heart of Notting Hill, Couverture and the Garbstore was launched in 2008 by designers Emily Dyson and Ian Paley. Housed in an exquisitely re-configured period townhouse close to the famed Portobello Market, the concept store presents over three floors.

Deliberately eschewing big name brands in favour of something more intuitive and authentic, the destination store focuses on niche independent labels, exclusive collaborations and championing emerging talent.

The ground and galleried first floors are dedicated to Couverture, relocated from Chelsea, where the carefully curated blend of International and European womenswear and accessories, childrenswear and toys, home accessories and furniture guarantee its status as a favourite haunt for both fashion and interior stylists, as well as for the discerning customer.

The lower ground floor sees Ian Paley's menswear brand ‘Garbstore’ come to life with a collection of garments and accessories that reference clothing produced after the Second World War or ‘unfamiliar vintage’, with each piece re-imagined and made ‘historically new’. Garbstore is also host to a selection of cult International brands, rare books and collectable ephemera, many of which are exclusive to the UK.

Available Online and in London, Couverture and the Garbstore is the definitive one-stop shopping destination for all that is unique, inspiring and perhaps a little idiosyncratic.
