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.

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.
