The fairly new online webshop Maison Lab and the well-known high end concept store La Bottega (yes, indeed many of you will know this name as THE shoe store from Hasselt) just decided to join hands in the form of an online collaboration. From today onwards you can obtain the previous upscale collection of La Bottega online on the webshop of Maison Lab, and this for six months at half the price. But double the fun!
After 25 years of experience in the offline business, La Bottega launched an also successful webshop, in 2010. Their outlet department was however not for sale on their webshop. “So why not change that” thought Karine Valy, who runs La Bottega all this years with her husband Marc Jamar. Karine – also once elected as woman entrepreneur of the year – has a nose for young people with great ambitions. Exactly the description that fit the two sisters Tahnee and Samira Labyed and their youger brother Djalil Labyed, who founded Maison Lab in 2015.
