With all the competitive Ramadan Exhibitions going on lately, it's almost impossible to find a
Kaftan (
darra'a) that looks unique and not your typical
mix'n'match kaftan or a patchwork creation with the worst stitching/finishing ever + ridiculously overpriced. So I was impressed to find this
darra'a at
I Love Souk. The bright pink colored
darra'a had a print of a diamond and emerald necklace on it's neckline which immediately reminded me of
Mary Katrantzou's gorgeous collection. Of course the
darra'a does not even come close to the beauty of
Katrantzou's. But it was a refreshing change from what we usually see. I just wish the
darra'a had more volume of fullness to it. And for those who like to go all
matchy-
matchy. The
darra'a comes with a matching clutch as shown in the below photo.
I Love Souk's other new arrivals include these
uber-chic vintage sunglasses, some were encrusted with colored
Swarovski crystals.
There were also few pieces left of
Delfina Delettrez Jewelry collection up for sale. I wish I could buy her entire collection!
Stack up your arm with these gold bracelets when wearing your Ramadan
kaftan. Whether you decide to slip into one bracelet or go for the stacked look, make sure
your arms are tanned for that lazy summer glow.
Funky feathered and colored clutches look too winter-
ish for
ths summer, but you can invest in one for the next season. I liked the ones shown in the above photo more than the ones shown below. Oh! And the clutch comes with a matching hair band. Not my thing...
Now here's something you wouldn't find anywhere else! T-shirts with vintage-y
arabic motifs. The one shown here in the middle, has an image of a book cover from an old
arabic book series which I used to read and collect! Brought back good
memories.

You hit the nail on the head with that description. Aside from a few designers I would maybe consider (like Rawya AlGhanim and Reem Almasalam) I'd much rather have something imported from Morrocco or Lebanon than designed locally. Lots of wannabe designers pay way too little attention to detail and the product ends up looking cheap despite the effort at creativity.
