Kenzo Celebrates its Birthday with 40 Unique Limited Edition Bags in Kuwait

I had the pleasure to see Kenzo's limited edition collection of Pagodon bags,  which are currently on display at the Avenues Phase II. Designed by Antonio Marras for the brand's 40th anniversary, the collection has been created exclusively for the Middle East. And each bag is a unique hand crafted masterpiece, the only one in the world. The basket-shaped bag retails for KD 500+.  

When I first received the invite for the exhibition, I didn't expect the bags to look THAT good, craftsmanship wise.  So I was quite impressed when I examined them closely, they were true masterpieces. 

I'm not going to sugar coat the collection, I didn't like ALL of the 40 bags that were on display, but I so appreciate all the work that has been put into each Pagodon bag.  However, I did like the ones featured here.  And if I'm the type who collects rare bags, I would buy the marine inspired pagodon bag (1st photo) with a blink of an eye. 

Go to the exhibition, it's worth checking. The collection is available in Kuwait ONLY until 30th April at the Avenues Mall, Phase II.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

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.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?
