The Knowledge of Luxury

Do you know what is Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI)?
"The Luxury Brand Status Index (LBSI) is the only independent and impartial measure available of the value and equity of leading luxury brands to wealthy Americans, based on statistically meaningful data collected from wealthy consumers themselves. The annual Luxury Brand Status Index survey is a proprietary survey methodology and index developed by The Luxury Institute that guides our company-based subscribers. The LBSI incorporates four main "pillars" of value: consistently superior quality, exclusivity and uniqueness, a measure of enhanced social status, and a measure of the ability of a brand to make a customer "feel special" across the customer experience with the brand." (source)

Click here to learn more about the Knowledge of Luxury. Some fun facts that I came across include:
  • Rich women want a Judith Leiber (not a Birkin) on their arm as the IT bag.
  • Uber-wealthy say socially responsible brands catch their attention.
  • High net-worth consumers name Lexus the Most Philanthropic Brand
  • High net-worth consumers rank Tod's, Longchamp and Zero Halliburton the Most Prestigious Luggage Brands
Thanks to my fabulous reader lala for enlightening me and inspiring me to write this post, I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for her smart comment on one of my previous posts. I feel like my Fashion IQ level has jumped a few notches with this marvelous information. Thank you lala!

great u posted bulletpoints of this survey (i remember it from wgsn) the most important one being the judith leiber observation. this is for the very very wealthy american but i tend to agree and think that many wealthy kuwaitis should follow. the days are over when you had your name and wealth all written over your bag. im bored of the lady with 20 birkin bags in every colour combo and of possible croc all the way. judith is so outrageously mad, its actually understated. why? many not appreciating her evening bags will agree that a crystal bag made in the shape of a heart or a fish is nothing special... its only a crystal bag... and not worth shelling out thousands of dollars for it (specially if it is more expensive than a birkin).. well i recommend those ladies to have a closer look. they are absolutely to die for :)
and now shove those birkins away or smash them about to at least look not too contrived.. get a leiber for night a python kroell for day, behave like a lady e basta come se dice in italia

Chanel Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection

I can't remember if I shared my views about Chanel's Dubai Cruise 2015 Collection on my blog or not, but I thought I'd share with you some photos of the pieces on display now at Chanel Boutique in Kuwait, Prestige in the Avenues and Salhiya Complex. I wasn't too crazy about the clothes. However, I did like some of the bags which had pompoms and tassels on them, as well as the gigantic pearl clutch. I also loved the Moroccan-inspired pointy flats and the silver jewelry adorned with coins and crescents. Of course the shoes were sold out in my size and I wasn't so crazy about the patterned ones. I LOVED the flap bag with Pom Poms, but it was above my budget. Overall the collection felt more Moroccan than Dubai-an. I wish if they have incorporate more of the our gulf region's culture into the designs. Oh And I added to this post photos of Chanel's milk carton shaped python clutch bag embellished with a CC signature. They're not part of the Dubai colle

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?

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.
