Introducing Reem El Kanhal

I recently got introduced to a new and talented fashion designer based in Saudi Arabia named Reem al Kanhal. She was studying English Translation when she simultaneously launched her career in fashion design. Being driven by her lifelong passion, which developed at a very young age, she started to make simple and stylish tops and skirts that women could wear in many ways, with a constant concern: being different and singular.

Encouraged by the positive vibes towards her work, she decided to deepen her knowledge of fashion and visual arts by entering what was a first in Riyadh at that moment: the “Art & Skills Institute”. With her new perfect command of patron making and sewing, she was finally able to jump aboard the fashion ship and sail away to her dreams.

In 2010, one year after graduating, Reem al Kanhal created RK Designs, a ready-to-wear collection of clothes and accessories, with unusual cuts and unique prints that have a story to tell. She's currently selling her designs in Riyadh and Sauce boutique in Dubai. Featured here are photos of her most recent collection, and my favorite pieces of the collection. I can't wait to see what the designer comes up with next season.

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 .
