If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
On the subject of Essa, last Friday Villa Moda held a trunk show for the brand previewing their clients with a celebration of a collection based on the holy month of Ramadan. It was a private event for VIP ladies only. The accessories used in the event are from the brands carried at Villa Moda. The Essa's pieces are now on display for the public. Here's a sneak peak of the event.

It wasn't for "VIP ladies only"...
anyone who shopped at Villa Moda within the past week received an invitation!
They were giving it out left and right :)
But aesthetically, Essa has a lot to prove.
Another Middle Easter designer who cannot think outside the box. But hey, there are many clients in the Middle East who appreciate it. So good for him in that respect.
But I do get offended when a Middle Eastern designer is only thought of as good or credible because they're only compared to other Middle Eastern designer and not the rest of the world. And let me remind those people, that the Middle East is part of THE WORLD.
interestingly i get a feel and i havent checked out the real high end places yet...but the general fashion sense in the omanis ain't much to write home abt...
though i came across this one lingerie shop in a posh mall and they had a kinky leather and chains setup...
hmm makes me wonder :P
