Max Azria Boutique Now Open in Kuwait

Max Azria's first freestanding boutique in Kuwait is now open at Arraya Complex. I was thrilled when I first heard about it, but all the excitement quickly gone away the moment I stepped into the store. MAJOR disappointment. I was hoping to find unconventional, stylish, and one of a kind pieces that I used to see abroad. The selection looked a bit outdated and too... blah!

The store had a selection of flowy chiffon and silk dresses, curve-hugging cardigans, and wide pyjama-like pants. The only thing at the store that was slightly satisfying was the small selection of shoes and handbags/clutches. They had an oversized pink salmon clutch which looked really cute. And I liked one pair of navy snake-skin heels trimmed with cobalt blue leather. But the price tag turned me off especially that they're not known to be shoe makers. It was retailed at KD 305. Check it out just to satisfy your curiosity, but don't expect too much.

Max Azria boutique is located at Arraya Complex (ground floor) in between Genki Sushi and Whistles.

oOooOOoooOOoooOoohhh am still going =) was telling some folks today how much I wanted to take a looksie... the reason many stores suck is that buyers lack market knowledge, in addition to zero taste. God bless online shopping & Al-Othman.

yeah i totally agree.Their merchandise buyers are not studying the market or their demographics. I'm a merchandise major and what they bring to their stores are not what their customers want.aAghhh it drives me nuts i wanna go to the stores and tell them what to do right!

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.
