The K Tote Scores an F

Canvas bags have never been as significant as they are this season. In an effort to top off the Anya Hindmarch’s “I’m not a plastic bag” bag hype, TopShop’s collaborated collection with Kate Moss has resulted in the production of Miss Moss Signature K tote canvas bag as shown in the photo below.


Yes, I can feel the excitement within your deadly silence too. I know you just can’t contain yourself either. What is this!? It's more like the work of 6th grade mediocre student in an Arts & Crafts class. It's too small to be used as a beach bag and it's un-supportive shape and unpractical color makes it impossible to use as a day bag. However, it can be used as a travel laundry bag (for your 2 years old sis/bro). But who would want to pay KD 5 for a travel laundry bag the size of a Doritos bag. Not me that's for sure.

On a different note, is it just me or did you notice how TopShop's quality and variety of clothes dwindled ever since they moved to the Avenues? What went wrong?! Why was the old TopShop more fun and had better collection than the new one?

I know! I used to leave the old TopShop with 2 huge shopping bags in my hand. Now I barely buy a thing.. and the last few times I've been to the new one, I ended up buying "what-was-I-thinking" kind of stuff.

Totally agree! Most of the stuff there has been on display for such a long time. Even the accessories section, which used to be the cutest, is disappointing now. They really need to get their act together!

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
