Desert Rose

A few years ago I posted about a Kuwait-based handbag and leather goods brand called Shanta, the brainchild of two friends, Muneera Al Naibari and Sirine Sadeddin. They have contacted me recently to share with me their latest Fall/Winter 2011 collection titled Desert Rose. I went through the lookbook and I have noticed how their designs matured in a very elegant and simple way, yet very practical. Featured here are two of my favorite styles. Oh! And I LOVED the look in the last photo head to toe boots.

For any inquiries or order, please call Shanta on (965) 9499-6481 or (965) 9901-5037 or send an email to shantaboutique@gmail.com.

I got the first bag in a different color as a birthday present from a dear friend. Next day I was at Fashcode buying it in another color! I loved loved it. Perfect size for messenger bag and at the same time can be carried from the top handle. Loved it ! Also, the finishing is impeccable.

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.
