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.

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.

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...

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare.  This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
