We have already announced this on our Face­book page, but if you missed our latest excit­ing news, we have a new stockist.

In Milan.

Let’s say benven­uto to Bar­bar­ella Concept Store.

We know the owner, the won­der­fully glam­or­ous Bar­bara Marchesi. She is a very good Coulson Macleod cus­tomer. In fact Bar­bara loved her typo­graphic pieces so much that she wrote us a won­der­ful testi­mo­nial.

Bar­bara said, “Your art works are so beau­ti­ful and ori­ginal. The vin­tage look with a con­tem­por­ary touch is amaz­ing. The fact they are all hand­made is really import­ant. My women’s col­lec­tion is entirely made in Italy and I love to share and sup­port this atti­tude. The ‘Love’ col­lec­tion is a very per­sonal and instinct­ive way to tell to someone how much you love them. Gorgeous!”

Bar­bara already runs one of THE hot­test fash­ion stores in Milan. And now she is open­ing up an interiors/concept store this month. And is stock­ing lots of Coulson Macleod artwork.

Bar­bara is one hot woman and owns one hot brand.

Italian Vogue wrote about Barbarella’s spring-summer 2011 col­lec­tion, which they termed fresh. Vogue loved the hints of glam­our, the prints and the col­ours and added that Barbarella’s sig­na­ture style is fem­in­ine and elegant.

Vogue said, “A brand that is appre­ci­ated not only in the fash­ion world: the Mil­anese entre­pren­eur will this year receive the Mil­ano Donna award, which is awar­ded annu­ally to women entre­pren­eurs from Milan. Barbara Marchesi, 33 years old, foun­ded her fash­ion house in 2008.”

Last year the award was given to Mar­gher­ita Mis­soni. Wow!
