All Dressed up


Even though I know a lot of of people who shop at Designers' Lounge, for some reason, I rarely shop at their Salhiya boutique, maybe the merchandise display was not very inviting. And up until yesterday, I have never been to their Avenues branch. So when I decided to have a look at their Avenues branch, I was taken by surprise by how discerningly stocked boutique it is. 

Designers' Lounge is very heavy on women's casual chic/semi formal clothes and accessories, with a scant supply of evening wear & accessories tucked in a corner of the shop. I found the display to be  a colorful and had a well-edited selection of different lesser known and established brands popping against the shop’s bright white interior. Here I picked some of my favorite items from two lovely brands called All Dressed up and Maje which are also currently being sold at net-a-porter.


Adorable mint cropped leather jacket with ruched details by All Dressed up for KD 160. It can be worn with long flowy dresses or high-waist pants



An extra unique and beautiful cropped black jacket with layers of scalloped fabric by All Dressed up for KD 198. Would look smashing with wide long pants






Perfect top to wear with jeans for casual outings. Love the embellished details on one shoulder. Price tag?
KD 72




OK, this top might not look that great on the hanger, but once you try it on, you'll see that it has so much character. Price tag? KD 90



Another top to wear with tapered pants, ruffled skirts, or jeans with ballerinas. Top by Maje and has this really cute sketch of a girl with a huge black bow. Price tag? KD 46

Designers' Lounge is place to dress and accessorize in casual-chic style, at not-extremely-expensive prices. The boutique located at Salhiya Complex mezzanine 1. Also at the Avenues Phase II. For further inquiries, please call (+965)2249-0044 or 2259-7766.

I do not trust Designers Lounge! My cousin bought brown boots from Switzerland last October, they were on sale. She saw the SAME EXACT boots marked as NEW recently and with more than double the price!!

I love their store in Avenues. Mal il 9al7iya mush aweee. They bring some really tasteful, fun clothes but their accessories, while looking cool and trendy, are way too pricey for crap quality in my experience.

Thank you for your great taste ;)

That's bad! Your cousin should have informed the boutique manager. In a situation like this, they usually correct their prices or offer you a discount.

I had a similar situation with Villa Moda and when I spoke to them about it they offered me to sell the item the same price as the one I have seen online.. now that's cool customer service!

The Salhiya branch is kind of disorganized...

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
