Dries Van Noten Boutique Opens in Kuwait

I'm thrilled to share with you that Dries Van Noten has officially opened in K-town. The new shop, located at the Al Thuraya Complex, has a big range of garments and accessories from Van Noten’s collection for Winter 2011. The boutique, opened by Al Ostoura Group, evoked the spirit of a luxurious and sophisticated yet comfortable Parisian apartment. I loved the interior and was amazed by the fact that each original piece of furniture in store has been carefully and personally sourced by Mr. Van Noten from salesrooms and antique dealers in Belgium and across Europe to reflect his very personal and eclectic style. Think Victorian brass-mountain satinwood display cabinet, a brass spiral 1960’s Italian Chandelier, grey painted Louis XV revival 1920’s writing table, and more.  

The collection on display had a pretty and colorful range of Van Noten's signature mix'n'unmatch styles of artisanal brocades, Jacquard mixed with boucle tweed, and a whole lot of embroidery and embellishments. And since I'm a sucker for the brand's shoes and accessories, the first thing I did was trying them on. Especially the bags, the way the designer mixed different colors of snakeskin with other material and garment made them into pieces of art. A must-visit if you're a Dries Van fan!

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.

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 .
