Exclusive: Alothman's New Store In Bahrain


Our favorite Kuwait-based luxury department store Alothman is now within reach to all Bahraini fashionistas. Known for its ingenious blend of contemporary and high-end designers, Alothman has opened its store last week at La Fontaine Center of Contemporary Art. The location provides the perfect blend of old and modern cultures.



La Fontaine is a private owned historical monument dating back to a 150 years and located in the heart of Manama close to the old “Souk”. It features a number of contemporary art galleries, an open-air amphitheatre, an exquisite fine dining restaurant, an exclusive spa, a state-of-the-art Pilates & Dance Studio, and now the ever hip, stylish, and sophisticated Alothman Store is part of Le Fontaine too, giving the old building a chic jolt.

Needless to say that Bahrain’s new Alothman store offers trendy selection of the world's best brands in fashion such as: Derek Lam, Oscar De La Renta, and Reem Acra to name a few.

Confashions From Kuwait was lucky enough to get some exclusive photos for you to have a sneak peak of how lushly and luxuriously Alothman is decorated. Click on the photos to enlarge them and get a better view.


If I'm not mistaken... I see David Sezto and Oscar De La Renta in the photo above...


The beautiful short metallic Derek Lam dress (shown on the right) and is that Reem Acra on the left? So who wants to go to Bahrain for a quick weekend getaway? A shopping spree, some spa pampering, and a cultural experience all rolled into one. Perfect!

So tell me, is Al Othman in Koweit nearly half as chic as the one opened in Bahrein?

al othman kuwait is THE best! of course it is nicer than the Bahrain one. it is more polished and more conceptual and bright. whereas bahrain seems more earthy.
i think you can see some older pics on their website www.alothman-fashion.com

the chic interiors are elegant and alluring while the mood is calm and welcoming...the merchandise is "la creme de la creme" from the major fashion centers, oscar de la R., vera wang and derek lam from the states, giles from the UK, the coveted Cchristian louboutin shoes from paris....the best stores in the world are those that give their customers the pieces they want and introduce them to collections that they are not yet acquainted with...alothman is amazing in creating that winning combination the customers will love ,,,, i can't wait to see what is next!!!

Dear Confashion, thanks for the update on Al Othman in Bahrain. I was doing some research and your blog came up on google. Arcangel our Womens wear brand is sold in Al Othman Kuwait [not yet Bahrain] but we hope to remedy that. Have a look at our collection at www.arcangel.com

i do hope that they keep the bahrain store very very exclusive!
so far the brands are the avantgarde that the kuwait store has so well introduced to the kuwait market. I hope they keep it this way and dont deviate into trashy eveningwear!!

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
