I can't wait to go to this event. I've seen sneak peaks of the work first hand and I loved their direction! I'm bringing a notebook so that I can memorise all the proverbs and use them as witty comebacks to seem more cultured and kuwaiti.

Does that mean we'll soon see our favorite fuzzy bear posing next to Anas and Jassim's artwork?

I find the concept very creative. And my fave is the "jider/pot" piece.

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.
