Video: Mr. Selfridge


I got to know about Mr. Selfridge through my colleague at work. The mini TV series centers on the early days of Selfridges, the most loved shopping destination for GCC shoppers in London. And it explores the real-life story of the flamboyant and visionary founder of Selfridges, U.S. retail magnate Harry Selfridge. I assumed since Selfridges is located in London, then it must have been founded by a British guy! I haven't seen the first episode yet, maybe over the weekend. But this is surely a genius branding exercise for the high-end retail department store.

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.
