My Lost Clutch and Service Hero

Back in April 2012, I have placed an order online to buy this avant-garde Vlieger & Vandam gun embossed clutch bag. The clutch was supposed to be delivered to my US Aramex address by FedEx. For some weird reason FedEx delivered it to my old Aramex address. And when I noticed the delay in receiving my order, I contacted Aramex, who couldn't offer much help because according to them it wasn't their fault that FedEx delivered it to the old Aramex address, and FedEx refused to send someone to retrieve it, because it was already received by a "local broker", which until today I'm not sure what that meant. To cut a long story short, I lost hope and was very frustrated, so informed Vlieger & Vandam of what happened. To my delight, they offered to send me another clutch to compensate for my lost one, all on their expense. And I'm happy to announce that I have received it a few weeks ago. Now THAT's customer service. How many of us suffered from the quality of service offered by some retailers in Kuwait or the region? This brings me to my other subject of the day, Service Hero. 

Service Hero is the only website in the Arab world that measures service quality standards. Through it, you are able to rate service quality for over 400 places you frequent. You can find out more about them here.

Voting only takes a few minutes and your voice will be a platform for positive change, and that's not all! You could win KD 200! Yup! Then you can buy the bang-bang clutch! Twinsies!

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.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?
