21 Carrots

I finally managed to visit one of the two new concept boutiques launched by the Sheikh of Chic Majed Al-Sabah. The shop is called 21 Carrots, and The first thing that caught my attention was the stunning interior of the boutique. And I'm not surprised, Sheikh Majed's standards are always impeccably high, so I wouldn't expect anything less from him. If you scroll down to the last three photos, you'll notice the amount of wood craftsmanship and carving done so beautifully. And it's such a nice treat because I don’t often come across captivating interior inside shops in Kuwait. Sure we have a lot of boutiques in Kuwait that sell gorgeous stuff, but in most cases fashion store owners prefer to keep their interior plain vanilla.

Back to 21 Carrots, the boutique offers a vast selection of desserts, salty canapés, and sweet delights for receptions, gifting, and special events. Think chocolates, cakes, macaroons, and cookies which go by the name of Crazy for Chanel, love for ford, Mr. Karl, and Viva Valentino. How adorable is that? They also offer catering service to assist you with customizing food menu for your special occasion. They'll take care of the silverware, flower and table arrangements too. 

And that's not all, every now and then, 21 Carrots will host a new fashion designer where he/she will showcase his/her latest collection of clothes or accessories. This month, 21 Carrots is introducing Indonesian designer Biyan Wanaatmadja, one of Indonesia’s most prominent fashion designers. I haven't heard of him before, but I liked what I saw a lot. His limited collection included a modern selection of exquisite and meticulously embroidered dresses, tops, and caftans rich with oriental heritage. The price range is between KD 400 and KD 1,000. My favorite piece has to be the caftan/dress featured in the first photo. I'd definitely wear it for fancy Ramadan Ghabga (Dinner). And I loved the statement necklace paired with it too, it looked like something fetched from a coral reef. I hope the boutique will not turn into catering business only, because when you get a taste of beautiful fashion like Biyan's, you'd want to see more.    

21 Carrots is located at Al Hamra Mall in Kuwait City. For further inquires, please call (+965) 6604-8222.

Furniture displayed in store is also for sale. They can also replicate the interior design of the walls for your home if you want.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
