Dear Confashion: Re-selling My Gowns



Q: I have many evening gowns that are in excellent condition, but I think its time for me to say goodbye..i get invited to many weddings so I have many evening gowns that I want to re-cycle i.e sell at a good price. Is there a place that I can do this?

Many thanks,
Dina al-Baijan

A: I have the same dilemma too! And honestly I'm not sure if there is such a place in Kuwait where it buys evening gowns at a good price. I know a place where you can donate them for charity. If you happen to know of such service, please do share in the comments sections. Thank you.

I know someone who sold her wedding dress after she got divorced but i am not sure where...

anyways why don't you girls try ChillPillBOx.com? She has a sale corner and i am already putting stuff up there for sale... i don't believe she ever sold an evening gown before but you could try and be the first? I have several evening dresses that go way back and i know that i won't be wearing them again! Some people do not mind if the dress was in a good condition or worn once...

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.
