HipVan
In less than a year, this lifestyle web-store already counts a five-figure membership base. Their recipe for success: A user-friendly flash-sale site (like Groupon) that is packed with affordably-priced fashion, art and home wares from labels like Joseph & Joseph, DUSK till DAWN and Strangely Yours.

You’ve probably never heard of most, if not all, of the names stocked at this multi-label online store, but that’s exactly what it’s conceptualized for: discovering emerging Asian designers. None of the labels here are older than five years, and stocks are updated in limited quantities.

It’s like Net-A-Porter, but on a much smaller scale. Founders Bryan Tan and Esther Wee pack the cool site with edgy pieces from designers including House of Holland, LIES by Lie Sang Bong and Mauro Gasperi. Collections are sourced directly from designers, which mean they are available at the same time as top international boutiques.
