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.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

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...
