Bargain Bags

They say all you need is a statement accessory and your outfit is made, but sometimes finding that standout piece without breaking the bank can be a challenge. That's why the sale season is the best time of the shopping year to hunt for designer deals. Of course any item you spot must be well-studied before making a purchase. of course rule number one should be not to buy just for the sake of the discount. You should question how often it will be worn or if it will compliment your wardrobe or not. 

With this thought, I decided to showcase three statement handbags/clutches that I spotted at the sale of Harvey Nichols Kuwait, which I truly believe will stand the test of time. We have Diane von Furstenberg's lips clutch in a beautiful shade of pink, the designer introduced the same style for S/S 2013 as well. The before price was KD 119 and now it is priced at KD 83.

Pierre Hardy's signature color-block leather shoulder bag, which also can be worn as a clutch. This style has been introduced for at least the past 2-3 years, so it's there to stay. Price tag was KD 234 and now it's priced at KD 117. 

The Row covetable leather backpack is the uptimome of street style uber-chicness. Price tag was KD 1,239 and now it is priced at around KD 619 (OK I wouldn't call this a bargain, but for The Row's price range, this is a good price).

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 .
