Cacharel’s Statue of Liberty

Cacharel 50th anniversary limited collection is now being sold at Cacharel’s boutique at Arraya complex and Al Thurraya complex. The collection consists of archive pieces reworked in their original Liberty floral prints and original retro patterns but on modern designs. Cacharel and Liberty originally collaborated in the late 1960s, producing a Cacharel designed blouse in a Liberty print. Liberty prints are also being used by Gap and Kate Moss’s TopShop collection.

To me, the collection was a bit of a disappointment. It looked mediocre and … blah! I liked the prints and Cacharel’s cotton belts though. It would have looked smashin’ if the designs were re-worked in a very modern way rather than a “Little House on the Prairie” kind of way.

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.
