Turkish Treasure

Every fashion savvy lady knows that the easiest way to transform your look is with statement accessories. And recently I have received an e-mail from a half Turkish half Palestinian Jewelry designer based in Istanbul, who shared her beautiful pieces with me. The verdict? Ottoman Chic makes perfecting the high-low mix of statement accessories a piece of cake.

Ottoman Chic is an unconventional bridge jewelry line comprised of authentic and diverse designs intended to meet the taste of all women. All designs are hand-made and are 24-Karat gold plated and unique in their compilation of semi-precious stones and pearls. The designer limits the designs to a maximum production cap to avoid giving it a "mass-produced" feel.

Ottoman Chic brings together the cultural diversity of the Middle East and mystique of the Ottoman empire while being heightened with the touch of graceful imagination, a mosaic of colors, elements, and feelings.

Ottoman Chic is currently available in Montreal, New York, Antibes, Riyadh, Amman, and Beirut. Price Point is between $180 and $400.

Wow very very nice! Hopefully she'll get to come to Kuwait to one of the exhibitions and sell this stuff. I think it could be a HIT if it happens a little before Ramadan.

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.

Amazing Alia

Several months ago I posted about Alia Designs , a Kuwaiti talented designer of traditional clothes and dresses. Back then, I liked one of the items featured on her website. This time I'm going ga-ga over her latest Ramadan collection of Kaftans and darraa'at! Especially the one shown here on the first picture. Looks very young, comfortable, and oh-so-perfect for after futoor! For inquiries please visit the website or call (+965) 642-7400.
