Liberty of Kuwait - Part II


Haifa Kaftans is the brains behind the genius idea of reviving traditional Kaftans by injecting them with Liberty of London fabrics. And featured here is a sneak peak of their newly designed Liberty Kaftans exclusively shown for the first time. I love how comfortable their shapes are, makes them perfect for bloated tummies after breaking our fasting.  And I'm so excited to add a Kaftan to my humble collection of Liberty clothes and accessories. 

Haifa Kaftans has been around for 3 years now. And other than their line of Liberty Kaftans, they craft Kaftans out of fabrics sourced from Uzbekistan, Turkey, Thailand, China, Egypt, and France. All their fabrics are made of natural breathable materials like silks, cottons and wools. Haifa Kaftans never use synthetic materials and their Kaftans are individually produced with artisan hand finishing in India, Morocco and Lebanon. In fact, no two Kaftans are ever alike!

And as I mentioned in my previous post, they're the sole distributors of Liberty of London fabrics in Kuwait (only at their Shuwaikh branch). So you can also create your own Kaftan or maybe want to design one for your little princess with a matching gergai’an bag? How adorable would that be!

For my foreign readers, gergai’an is a Ramadan event where kids dress in traditional clothes and walk around the neighborhood to collect candies. Basically it’s our version of Halloween’s trick or treat.

So swing by one of Haifa Kaftans stores to stock up for Ramadan. They currently have 3 store locations in Kuwait: Qortuba Mall-1st Floor, Dasma Coop-Mezzanine and Shuweikh-near Al Tilal Complex. And recently opened their Oman branch at Zakher Mall in Al Khuwair. Omani customers can call 24484737.

They make Liberty kaftans for the young ones as well! I just bought the most adorable one with a matching bag for my 4 year old niece! They sell them all the way up to size 12!

I LOVE LIBERTY (don't judge me but i bought a matching kaftan for myself)

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
