Guess Where!?


A year ago I posted about my unbelievable findings at Souk Salmiya, from designer replicas to garlic face cream endorsed by using a photo of Charlotte of SATC. Unfortunately, this is not part 2 of the post. These featured bags, obviously Chanel replicas, are being sold for KD 65 among other designer replicas, watches, wallets, scarves... etc. So what's new you ask. Well, what baffled me when I first saw them is that they're not being sold in Souk Salmiya or Souk Mubarikiya, they're actually on display at one of the boutiques at the Hilton Kuwait Resort in Mangaf!!! Yup! A store inside a 5-star hotel sells designer replicas. Isn't this considered as illegal? I'd like to know your thoughts on that.

OMG WTH

Sadly this is the main reason why I am not into buying Chanel bags, coz everyone carries one (most are fake)

*tsk tsk tsk*

I dunno about Kuwait but in Dubai it is illegal to sell such stuff, although u can find such items in the black market lolz

EE wallah! Very very true.. I don't buy it for the same reason.. every chanel bag is a suspect now.. honestly I can't tell the difference anymore between a fake one and a genuine other.. I know ppl who are willing to throw all their money on a Chanel and try to be thrifty on clothes.. while others buy expensive outfits and fake it up with a copy chanel!! NOOO!!
A total taste corruption!

It is upsetting that a worldwide establishment allows a fake merchandise outlet to do business on their premises. I wonder what Paris Hilton would think about carrying fake designer labels?!

I love chanel and it's such a shame to see the brand's replicas being sold like that... :\

I heard Karamah Market sells all sorts of replicas in Dubai, is that true?

I think it's OK to mix and match high street with designer items. I'm just against replicas.

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 .
