To Market, to Market

Turpan Shop

Your to-do list is like The Iliad: It sets you up for an odyssey and definitely can’t be completed in a day. So it’s either skip the laundry or show up empty handed at tonight’s swishy dinner party in the Glen.

Not if you head to Turpan, the utterly modern new one-stop shop in the Brentwood Country Mart.

Stocked with top-notch cleaning supplies, luxe Lutz & Patmos cashmere, Ted Muehling for Steuben glassware, Ren natural beauty products, Ten Thousand Things jewelry, and soft-as-a-baby’s-bum sheepskin rugs, Turpan has everything little thing you need to live a life less ordinary.

There’s plenty for fellas, too: Prps jeans and a Kartell stepladder that makes handy work look sleek.

Simply put, it’s a general store for those who aspire to raise domestic duties to an art form.

And creating a to-do list that reads like poetry.

Turpan, Brentwood Country Mart, 225 26th Street, at San Vicente Boulevard, Santa Monica (310-451-9500).
