Phase two of the Avenues will include boutiques of big designer names in the fashion business such as Kenzo and Chanel. Also, Al Ostoura alone will open 40 standalone shops including: See by Chloé and Marc by Marc Jacobs. The only thing that I'm sure will be dreading is the looooong walk from TopShop to any boutique located in the 2nd phase of the Avenues.
For all you guys who love Polo & Tommy, you’ll be thrilled to know that British Brand Hackett is now open in Kuwait at The Avenues (Phase II). The home of authentic British Menswear and style, Hackett , has a worldwide reputation for producing high quality, unique and distinctive, menswear and kid’s clothing. Hackett’s clothes offer a selection of formal wear including dinner jackets, business clothing such as ties, suits, shirts and trousers, smart casual, rugby shirts, designer polo shirts to accessories including belts, scarves, wallets, and travel bags. And here's an interesting fact, Hackett is the Official Clothing Partner of the Aston Martin Racing . So you will also find Limited edition 'Aston Martin Racing by Hackett' products available in store. These Aston Martin Racing products make ideal gifts for Formula 1 racing fan, or an Aston Martin owner.

Oh and I have also heard that LV sells fake items as well is that a rumour as well ?
We are already fighting over limited pieces ..now I too share your worries of other people repeating the IT dress/bag/shoes
but in the end its going to be FUN!!
the new addition at the avenues will feature many to die for boutiques (am talking major names, like you have died and gone to heaven) it's going to be cut throat and survival of the fittest. Play nice everyone and must say that I expected people in the industry to better guard this affair, must be difficult since negotiations have been going on since over a year ago.
In free markets, governments shouldn't stop a certain type of store from opening . The business owners should decide whether their business will be profitable enough or not.
In Kuwait you don't need foreigners to spend money for these stores to profit. If Kuwaitis were to spend just a fraction of the amount of money that they spend abroad in Kuwait then then no business will ever have to close shop.
I don't know about fake items but what it annoys me in some of their stores is how they mix their old merchandise with their new one.

I've heard this rumor about LV and Chanel but I'm not sure if it's true or not...

beats me! I always compare our purchasing power to Dubai's.. but one thing I know for sure is that Kuwaities have a passion for fashion and would go to extreme lengths to spend money just to look good.

Unfortunately I don't know when they'll open.. but I've heard Manoush is now open at the Avenues..

I thought Saks will open in 360 degrees... and Thanks for the update ;)
anonymous
Can you name the brands that will be opening?

As I said earlier... we have a deadly passion for fashion ;)
Thanks for keeping us posted with whats happening around us here!
With zero tourists coming into Kuwait growth of the luxury goods segment looks to be well, not so promising. Sooner or later, Kuwait is going to have to open the floodgates to the Russians, Chinese, the Indians and high net worth Iranians if only to ensure decent footfalls for the many mega malls we have coming up right here in Kuwait.
It's a shame not one of the newer malls carries a major book store in it, though. But I forget we live in a country where make-up and sexual harassment is, by and large, a national sport of sorts with books deemed redundant - only for the sissies and pansies among us.
Very sad.
LV & the house of Chanel have extremely high ethics when it comes to the representation of their products, they do not tolerate counterfeit items and have been known to take out extreme measures in the form of legal action to ensure their integrity.
uncalled for censorship plays a factor in the quality of reading material in this country, how history of fine art or linguistics are relevant to religion is beyond me.
