My Fendi Findings


During my last visit to Fendi's Boutique at Salhiya Complex, I picked out some of my favourite items from Fendi's S/S fashion show. To my surprise, I actually found the spring/summer signature colored stones belt featured in most looks of the fashion show (Fendi Kuwait, I'm impressed!). Perfect to complete your bohemian chic Fendi look by wearing it over plain dresses and tops. Price tag? KD 929.


If you want to make a statement with your outfit, make those beautiful (AND comfortable) platforms your choice for formal summer nights outings. I don't usually go for the "copy-the-catwalk" look, but I think these metallic platforms have to be worn with Fendi attire to look as good as they do on the runway.


A true investment piece would be purchasing this "very-Carrie-Bradshaw-ish" black and white halterneck evening gown. The gown looks 1000 times better in real life than it does on this photo. I loved the circle details on the neckline, and it goes all the way to the back of the dress. Truly stunning and a definite head-turner. Cost? KD 2,000.


And finally, a true fashionista never has enough bags and clutches. This is the type of bag/clutch which you'll wear for years to come. What's cool about this bag is that the strap is removable. So it turns from a bag to a clutch with a simple snap. Wear this scarlet red oversized clutch with faded skinny jeans and peep-toe boots for a contrasting look. The bag comes in grey and black as well and it retails for KD 607.

Fendi boutique is located at Salhiya Complex, Kuwait City. For inquiries, please call (+965) 249-3985.

I was very disappointed with the Fendi Boutique, Kuwait this season. They had a snakeskin belt with four colored stones in the middle, like those seen on the show. It's price tag here was 523 KD, I checked the price in London 785 pounds..that is 688 pounds when you take off the VAT..the belt was also available at net a porter for 688 pounds..I told the saleslady in Fendi about the difference in price and she replied with "we are more expensive because we are the boutique!" lool I find that funny..wanted to complain but didn't know who to go to unfortuantely.

I don't think any high end franchise boutique in kuwait sells fakes. But, I wouldn't buy anything from here because they get the crappiest pieces of the season and are over-priced.

big pearls is right regarding ownership, VM has been replaced by Habchi & Chalhoub ( for comments & complaints please call & report the overmarkin ) I wonder if the chamber of commerse can be notified as well.

Anonymous: I would get the belt and foot the bill to daddy dearest.
However, in Kuwait many people take out loans just to go shopping

cute fendi post.. blah blah blah..

who am i kidding.. how could any fashionista in kuwait focus on fendi [with all due respect] when we're being deprived of the fashion bible-on-the-big-screen [aka the sex & the city movie]..


it's all i can think about these days.. I know I know.. I need to stop bitching,, book my ticket to london already,, catch the premiere and maybe catch up on some shopping..


but that's not the poiiiiint!! bottom line: i believe ther are enough fashion addicts in kuwait to earn us the right of watching s&tc @ the theater.. preferably sans the stupid-distracting arabic translation.. just a thought (more like a dream)..

I dont like the belt but even if I loved it I would not buy such an overpriced belt. I feel a sence of responsibility to boycott overpriced products, despite the fact that I can afford them. Plus, the older i get, the wiser I become with my spending. I feel a sence of style can easily be acheived on a smaller budget and in the way you walk and in the the way you smile. Bottom line, a kd1000 belt is a dumb purchase whatever your income in...

dear 'in my world everyone is a unicorn' hate to burst your bubble, the London premier was a few days ago- yes the fashion of S&C is the fifth character but it's a movie- not real life.

The two hour+ film won't be shown in local theaters due to graphic scenes & adult language - we have a set back in this country called censorship.

i'd love to burst 'your' bubble anonymous.. are you sitting down?? this movie is pretty darn close to real life in nyc..!

perhaps a couple of months in the city [a real city that is.. hint: kuwait city doesn't count] would serve a great reality check ;)

london premiere 'was' on the 12th [loved the sjp phillip treacy extravaganza!!] but the release isn't 'till the 28th.. so mark ur blackberry..!

umm aggressive much, no need to be hostile you said you wanted to catch the premier which I assumed would have been London since it's the first launch city ( NY is still around the corner ) And hun, I have worked and lived in major big cities, always exciting to move, dragging along 300 plus shoes is tricky though. seriously chill

agree that 1000KD no matter your income is just plain stupid and irresponsible.
9.5 out of 10 ladies spending a fortune on clothes do not earn the money themselves and possibly never will here but hey, anything to keep our mind busy as long as it has got to do with clothes and shopping and lots and lots of expensive stuff ......... pffffffft!
KUWAIT is CONSUMERISM at its best

I think i'll wait for topshop to create a cooler version of the fendi-inspired belt at a much more sensible price :)

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
