Pre-Fall Chanel Bags in-store Now



As much as I dread seeing Chanel bags being toted around K-town by every single female, (very) young and old, stylish and not so stylish. I have to admit I never get bored of admiring this brand, especially its flap bags with the classic quilting. They're such a seasonless luxury pieces and easy to wear with anything. I just wish Kuwait's Chanel boutique offers a wider variety and stop this unfriendly policy of hiding new bags and making everything seems like impossible to get.

Anyhow, Kuwait's Chanel boutique has received its pre-fall collection of bags, accessories, and clothes. Don't expect a big selection though. Pictured here are two of the bags that are available in-store now. The first picture comes in black and a bigger size than the one shown. It's a Diamond quilted calfskin tote bag around KD 950. The second picture is of the classic flap Bag in quilted lamb skin around KD 850. It comes in dark brown as well.

Chanel Boutique is located at Salhiya Complex, Kuwait City.

I went to Chanel in Rome and in London and I had my heart set on the Chanel with the pearl and gold chain - stunning for (I think NOT SURE) about 2000 pounds but it's sold out! There's another Chanel I saw Harrods that has stuff on it like stamps and I think the material is not leather it's like cloth or something. I wish I could describe it better it's very very nice and one of those bags you could carry through the years without it looking dated like the tote in the picture you put.
Anyway, aside from that the bags I saw are boring. I love my vinyl Chanel that I bought last year and I guess I'm sticking with it for now.
I'm thinking of getting the classic necklace, what do you think?

I think you are all very sad wasting your time and energy on fashion.2000 pounds for a bag. Are you a complete idiot? For a start NOBODY you pass in the street can tell whether that's a fake or a real one you are carrying.Secondly, your 2000 pound original was probably made in a sweat shop in Cambodia for 2 pounds.Go spend the money God gave you on worthwhile things. Perhaps you should spend more on education.

Education...I have a bachelors and a masters from the US. I make my money myself from my job. I save so that I can spend on lovely things. And yeah 2000 is not little but this piece is timeless and when God willing I have kids I could pass it on to them.

You know, having a maid could seem like a luxury to others,like you're wasting money, even having a good computer, having a good pair of tennis shoes. All of these could seem like luxuries - way too much for other people. So instead of judging maybe you ought to get some perspective. And if you wanted to advise someone this isn't the best way to do it jackass.

Passing on a bag to your children................priceless.

You didn't really answer my ''question'' tho' did you? Do you really think that people say ''Oh look at that original 2000pound Chanel bag she's carrying'' ?

Oh dear! I apologize! I'm sorry I didn't answer. But I have to say I was baffled when I saw your quotation marks around the word "question", really racking my brain here trying to figure out why you had them there. You know you're pretty cute trying to correct other people's English and asking them to get an education. Cute cute cute! Challim galba! Do you know chalim galba? That's not English. You only speak English. Mashalla such an educated person.

Confashion, sorry sweetheart but I'm totally getting a kick out of this guy! HAHAHA

Let's leave my heart out of this- using a foreign language to insult someone isn't particularly clever. Actually I wasn't trying to be rude, just pointing out that ok, it's nice to enjoy fashion but isn't it wasteful to spend so much money on items like this bag or those shoes? How many starving Bangladeshis in Jleeb Al Shuwaikh could you feed for 2000 pounds?

It was more an attempt of sarcasm than that of cleverness as I assumed you were Kuwaiti - I actually think the majority of the readers of this blog are. But anyway, if there are Bangladeshis that are starved in Jileeb Alshyookh (and NOT Jileeb AlShuwaikh) this the first time I hear of it and I have a hard time buying it. It's illogical and makes no economic sense for people to leave their country and move to Kuwait if they're only coming here to starve now does it? So I'm not sure where you're getting your information from. This doesn't negate the fact that there are people starving elsewhere in the world - people you could have helped using the money you spent on your laptop, TV set, and what have you. It's all relative. I didn't steal my money, didn't take it from anyone, and I didn't pick it up off the street. I work. Is that clear? I work for it. Does that make so morally unfathomable that I would want to use my money that I worked for using my college degrees to buy things that I can enjoy?

You came off very rude, condescending, and unnecessarily antagonistic. "Are you a complete idiot" is what you said. In what kind of environment is that not considered a rude statement?

If your heart aches for those who are starving and you want to help again I must tell you this is not the way to advise people to do that.

Take a walk on the wild side and step out of your Armani bubble:

http://www.248am.com/mark/interesting/jleeb-al-shuyoukh/

Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh (Arabic: جليب الشيوخ Transliteration: Jalīb Al-Shuyūkh) is a town in Kuwait. It is largely inhabited by expatriate workers from South Asia and Arab countries such as Syria and Egypt. A large proportion of the residents of Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh live in Kuwait without their spouses. The town is well known in Kuwait for its social problems, such as overcrowding and crime.

Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh is located at 29.27°N and 47.93°E

LOL I know what Jileeb ALshyoo5 is dim wit I was correcting your original version "Jleeb Al Shuwaikh". Look at your own comment. And yeah I know conditions there suck but frankly I don't see why I'm supposed to feel guilty about it hell I didn't cause it.

And I LUVVVV my Armani bubble so I'm staying right here thank you very much :D You should try putting on an Armani at some point the material, the cut, the design, Oh it is just fab!

You see you ASSume that simply because I disagree with your philosophy on wealth and thoughtless wasteful spending, I am poor. For all you know I am the guy who brought Armani to Kuwait.

Darling you're starting to bore me. I was hoping I would carry this on with someone a little more witty. Now how on earth would someone who wears Armani tell someone else to get out of her Armani bubble? Boring boring boring. And without wit. Most certainly without wit. Boring. That's enough of this.

After reading your post I went over there, and once again I was reminded of how annoying the saleswomen are at the Salhiya Chanel boutique. Officially the worst customer (or shall I say "non-VIP" customer) service ever. I think they should just shove all those bags up their stupid stuck up noses.

So back to the original question in my mind, before I became distracted - why do you ''dread seeing Chanel bags toted round K-town''.
Anonymous said…
Oh I'm not the one who said that and I disagree I personally don't mind seeing Chanel bags toted anywhere. I'd rather have one though that differs at least somewhat so that not everyone has it.

moving back to the Jileeb Alshyookh comment as much as the topic "bores" some bubble people, i am amazed how many kuwaitis turn a blind eye to the condition of people in their own country. this to me is against the principles of any major religion.

yes, there are people starving in kuwait, who do not have access to good toilets, who work dog hours on cheap labour that makes it possible for you guys to have the kushy lifestyle you take for granted.

i get flabbergasted by kuwaitis who say there is no problem, that there are no slum like houses, that there are not people suffering from basic human deprivations.

seriously, if the citizens of this country (not all but many) continue to live in their armani bubble don't be surprised if one day its burst abruptly and there are major, MAJOR revolts and remember foreigners are the majority in this country.

this isn't about being a militant human rights campaigner, a complaining expat or an alarm-ringer, its about being a compassionate person and about being a good citizen. healing the situation of many migrant workers means healing kuwait. we are all fellow residents and brothers and sisters.

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.
