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.

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
