Did any1 ever wonder why these shawls are so expensive!!!
Shahtoosh is the name given to the wool got from the Tibetan Antelope which is a rare and endangered specie. It takes 3 antelopes to make one shahtoosh shawl. The hunting of this animal is illegal but poachers still continue to do so, to keep this illegal trade going. We as individuals should discourage this trade by boycotting these products. Let the "Chiru"(the name for the Tibetan Antelope) live, otherwise at this rate it might be extinct in the next 3 years.
P.S. I am surprised these shawls were not confiscated at the customs.
Please in the future before you post any such blogs do make inquiries.

really surprised these items were not confiscated at the customs. They are illegal because they are got by poaching the endangered Tibetan Antelope 'Chiru'. Please all of you do your part by not buying such items.

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
