The magazine offers an editorial mix of journalism with glamour, fashion and beauty coverage, and feature stories of lifestyle and serious women related issues. All by an Arabic editorial team.
Have you read it? If yes, what do you think of it?

I was impressed with the content, but two things suck:

1- The annual subscription price is ridiculous, compared to the international subscription price (UK/US/etc) i think it was around 16 KD

2- the quality of the paper/magazine itself is crap. Its the cheap matte type paper that smells funky and has terrible binding (the one all the magazines here use). I really think they can improve on this point.

thank you for this post confashions, I really hope the Marie Claire team receives this feedback.

The trillion dinar question is will it be able to hold a candle to the avant garde fashion and lifestyle magazine, 'Alef'?
Yeah they've also launched in the UAE, so I guess they might be gulf version, or for each gulf country...?

Hi La Petite Patisserie! It is true that Marie Claire has launched in the UAE too. MC is not a Pan-Arab magazine. Each country has it's own local edition, which caters specifically to the tastes & preferences of that country's people. :)

I don't think Kuwait's MC has an online version of their published mags. Your best bet is to contact their archive at their Head office...

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

The Villa Moda Movenpick Luxury Sale is an event all savvy shoppers and bargain hunters look forward to as it's a chance to get the best deals from the most wanted designer labels. The sale will showcase clothes and accessories from Spring/Summer 2008 collection and some going back to Fall 2007 collection (and even older). Believe me when I tell you there are some real bargains as all items will discounted with a whopping 60% or more. The event will start tomorrow Saturday and will be open to the public 10 AM to 10 PM. And all throughout Ramadan from 10 AM until 2 PM and from 7:30 PM until 12:30 AM. The women’s section will be in a tent just outside the Mövenpick. As for men’s, it will be in the Villa Moda Shuwaikh warehouse just behind the building. Signs are displayed for directions. You better be quick and go and grab all you want in the very first days before the good stuff/sizes are gone.
