Introducing Toujouri

After successfully launching in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait at Designer's Lounge, Qatar-based fashion brand Toujouri, expands into the iconic London fashion emporium Harrods, and the UAE’s uber-trendy fashion retailer Sauce this autumn 2010 season.

Launched in 2008, the brainchild of creative director Lama El Moatessem, Toujouri combines traditional techniques with modern silhouettes. It translates to treasure chest in Arabic, and it reflects the precious jewel-like nature of the designs, with their rich colours, intricate hand embroidery embellishment, and ethereal fabrics and exclusively designed printed textiles.

A graduate of the famous London College of Fashion & Central St. Martins School of Fashion, and after several years at the houses of Chloe and Matthew Williamson, Ms. El Moatassem founded the brand with the aim of creating luxurious garments using the most lavish fabrics, and an astute attention to detail.

And that's not all, fashion's most loved architect Peter Marino has actually designed the flagship Toujouri boutique (WOW!) set to open in the Pearl in Qatar in autumn 2010.

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 .
