Madame La Reine Vintage

This post is dedicated to our readers in Jeddah for the time being. Ever felt that your closets are filled with fabulous bags and shoes which have only been used once or twice? And have never been used again since? What to do with them? Send them to Madame La Reine.

Madame La Reine is a new concept in this region where you can "Recycle" your designer bags, shoes, accessories and clothes by sending them to Madame La Reine and they will sell them for you so you could use the money for your next "it" purchase or better yet for charity.




Madame La Reine accepts and re-sells an array of brands such as Gucci, Prada, Dior, Chanel and the list goes on. All items are in great and mint condition at fantastic prices. Heba Akki from Saudi Arabia is the brains behind this remarkable concept. They work by appointment to give their clients time and space to browse and try things on. Items for sale are done anonymously and names are not mentioned. Here are a sample photos of what's available:




Madame La Reine is currently available in Jeddah and will soon open in Riyadh. I fell in love with this concept. And I really hope we'll have similar vintage shops here in Kuwait. It's very convenient and it saves your old stuff from being trashed.

To learn more about Madame La Reine Vintage, you can check out their group on Facebook. Simply type in "Madame La Reine" in the search field to view their group. You may also e-mail them at info@madamelareine.com or drop them a line on (+966) 5640-47004.

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
