If your closet is bursting with barely worn clothing, shoes, and accessories, turn your clutter into charity, and make room for your next season's purchase. A friend has introduced me to the place to go to when you do your closet detox. The place is called "Spring Flows Est." and they take designer clothes in very good shape, clean them, and re-sell them at their second-hand store. Most items are international brands, but there are some non-designer stuff. ALL proceeds go to charity (which for some reason I forgot to ask which one because I trust the owner). Anyhow, so I went there the other day and it took me ages to find the place (I suggest you call them first for clear directions). It's located somewhere close to Fahad Al-Salim Street, Kuwait City. The place is semi-spacious and was packed with Americans and Europeans hunting for designer bargains. I swear one American lady got an authentic vintage quilted Chanel flap bag (the jumbo size) for KD 10 ONLY!!! You should have seen the shock on my face! I had a strong urge to snatch the bag from her hands and run away with it!! I was amazed when I've found the following designer items sold for really cheap prices.. such as..
YSL trench coat KD 40
Prada brocade top KD 22
Philip Lim Pea coat KD 40.
Rohka cropped jacket KD 20
Chloé studded bag KD 20
Balenciaga white City Motorcycle Bag KD 20
Spring Flows Est is located at Al Dahla Building, Exchange Market, opposite to Municipallty Garden. For any inquiries, please call (+965) 2247-0617.

I guess the older generations here in Kuwait didn't care enough to keep or store designer items as they didn't realise the value or such items. They toss old items to buy new ones. Now the younger generation is more aware of the value of such stuff and appreciate its value..
