Qirdala

Qirdala is a new jewelry boutique founded by Kuwaiti entrepreneurs Dhari Al Nafisi and Nasser AlBader and opened at Al Tilal Complex last week. I was invited to the launch and managed to take these photos of the interior and the jewelry on display. They're currently exclusively stocking a Greek jewelry brand called Apriati, which means strong desire for having beautiful possessions. The brand Apriati, is the brainchild of two young Greek designers, Athina Axioti and Themis Bobolas, both educated in Italy. 

The jewelry on display were designed to be worn casually to add a bit of luxury to your day-to-day outfits. And the designs were a mix of gold, diamonds and other precious stones, complemented with unexpected materials like silk cords and leather. My favorite piece was the leather bracelet decorated with precious stones and diamonds which you will find a photo of as you scroll down. 

As for the interoir, it looked beyond amazing. I loved how the jewelry was displayed on open drawers and the way a party of lightbulbs were dangling from the ceiling. Beautiful! The interior was designed by the talented Kuwaiti intrior designer Yousef Al Ibrahim, whom I have previously featured on my blog here.

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.
