To the Octium


Hands down. Octium, a jewelry store located in Kuwait's 360, has the best looking bags and the best gift wrapping in Kuwait so far. They really pushed the bar for retail branding. I love the cute illustration of the Owl on the blush pink bag, and the black wax stamp over the gift. Too good to rip off.

very chic! but the pale pink and black with the wax seal in the closeup picture kind of resembles Viktor and Rolf's flower bomb perfume packaging don't you think?

You're right, it does look similar to V&R's perfume package. But no owl there.. ;)

The shop is just astounding. Makes you want to try (and buy) almost everything on display

If you haven't been to the store, you have to check out their Interior.. A MUST SEE & admire.

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.
