Edgy Ethical Luxe

I never paid attention to the ethics of a brand until few months back when I received an email from bright young clothes designer called Nur. And today I was thrilled to discover another fashion conscious accessories brand that competes on looks and quality with high-end designer stuff called Angel Jackson.

The British accessories label was created in 2005 by sisters Katie and Millie Smith. Winners of the Topshop New Designers Award, their first collection became renowned for luxury and their underground edgy cool style. The brand is regularly featured in international fashion publications, including Vogue, Elle, InStyle, and Nylon. Celebrity followers include fashionistas Daisy Lowe, Alice Dellal, Gwen Stefani, Pixie Geldof and Lady Gaga to name a few. All Angel Jackson products are produced in fair-trade workshops in Bali and Portugal.


Angel Jackson is stocked in the most prestigious stores throughout the world including Harrods, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols (London & Riyadh), Fenwick, Villa Moda, Le Bon Marche, and Henri Bendel.

The brand’s handbags & belts collection exudes the ultimate wild child/punk chic attitude, incorporating heavy hardware of metal studs, metallic leather, textured exotic leathers, oversized zip detailing, heavy sequin embellishment, and luxe jewel toned woven snakeskin clutches.

Fine out more here, and you can also order online, they ship internationally.

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.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?
