Design Forum


I have just recently noticed a new line at River Island called River Island Design Forum. Design Forum is a River Island initiative where  it commissions fashion students and emerging talents to design a limited collection to be sold in select River Island stores (thank god Kuwait is one of them!!) under the Design Forum banner.  I was quite impressed by some of the Design Forum pieces. There were some seriously cool shoes and dresses at very budget friendly prices of course, like this featured dress with sheer billowy sleeves  (on the mannequin) which you can pair with a statement necklace and killer heels and no one would ever guess that it's from RI!! And these strappy beige and turquoise sandals with leather bow details designed by student Sophia Grace, I already have this name saved in my archives because from the looks of her designs, she's going to hit it big.

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 .
