This issue is filled with the most talked about designers, illustrators and photographers around today, including Matthew Williamson, Paul Smith, David David, Luella, Burberry and Genger & Mayer amongst many more. If you appreciate art, it would be very hard for you to miss the exquisiteness of Sketchbook online cover layout. There's something distinctly different about it. The enjoyable perplexity begins with the beautiful illustrations of cover star, Henry Holland, who talks us through how he went from making T-shirts for fun to designing his new collection for House Of Holland. Part Two of the online magazine features interviews with the stylist and creative director of House of Blueeyes: Johnny Blueeyes, Prince Pelayo and Gala Gonzalez who live together and have been making waves in the fashion industry.

I personally think that the magazine has morphs into a sophisticated fashion must read. it has been created for people who appreciate and love fashion, design, and art. Wafa.. You made us proud. I can’t wait to read the 3rd edition of Sketchbook!

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.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
