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.

Did you know that Marie Claire, an international women's magazine, has been launched in Kuwait and their second issue is already in newsstands?

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 .
