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.

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
