Paris In New York

Even though I like GAP for its very casual and very practical clothes, I don't usually look at its window display, but this time, it immidietaly caught my attention on 5th Avenue.

The GAP, currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, has partnered with the celebrated Paris concept boutique Merci to curate a special month long concept store that was open from September 10th to October 4th. The Merci GAP store had a selection of vintage clothes and accessories. Also a small selection of specially designed & limitied edition jeans and t-shirts. I was so thrilled by this pop-up shop and managed to buy a couple of limited addition t-shirts and some vintage accessories. And according to the sales assistant, proceeds of the items sold will be donated to charities of Merci's choice. I even felt better about my purchases.

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

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 .
