Event: Gucci Brings Florentine Craftsmanship to Kuwait

In celebration of its 90th anniversary, Gucci hosted an artisans event at its 360 Mall boutique. The event showcased the craftsmanship of Gucci’s Florentine leather goods factory. I made sure to pass by and I did. Only to find the doors closed so I politely asked the lady at the entrance of the boutique if I could come in and she warmly welcomed me in. And I was glad that I went because it was very interesting and a unique experience to see the brand's most skilled artisans working so meticulously right there in front of me with their custom-built workshops. And when I was about to leave, one of sales team give me a goodie bag and inside was a small gift box and inside it had Gucci's original Bamboo keychain. (Thank you!),  Following Dubai and Kuwait City, the Artisan Corner will also travel to Qatar later this month.

So if you have the time, pass by Gucci's boutique at the 360 Mall, the Artisan Corner will continue tomorrow, Thursday May 19th, from 10am to 10pm.. And if you make a purchase during the event, you will receive a personal letter from Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini.

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.

Sephora Opening Soon At The Avenues II

Beauty Junkies rejoice! The famous retailer of perfumes and cosmetics and the leading beauty chain in Europe and US, Sephora , will be opening soon at The Avenues Phase II. Personally, I like Sephora not only because of its tempting cosmetic selection, but mainly because I don't feel pressured by sales associates to buy stuff that I don't really need. I can actually touch and try the products without having the sales associate stalking me around and giving me some unnecessary comments about my skin/make-up. I think Sephora will make it big here if it sells its high-end cosmetics which are unavailable at other beauty stores/pharmacies in Kuwait. Does anyone have any product recommendations or favorites?
